About the Book
I had been unwell. Or this is what was thought… I do play and can be playful. From the emergency department to the entry of the free health care facility in the north of the island of Ireland. From being offered a medication I had heard of, Diazepam which is part of the Benzodiazepine family of pharmaceuticals to another medication that sounded ‘harder’ and something that I did not really know was… Although I am sure there were many people on this island who would have known and would have been up for taking the blue pill. I on the other hand, wasn’t the most clued up on Benzodiazepines though know this island has a problem with the medication which can lead to many negative side effects when there is a supply lacking and people turn to the black market where they do not know what they are getting. This was from the source but I wasn’t sure what this blue pill was and hence was brought to the free health care facility in the north of Ireland. These are the scribbles that I compiled when I was there and have produced into this piece of writing… From pen to paper to processor this is from manic through to recovery. Believe all you read and eat all you see… This was written from the inside of a health care facility therefore, is it fact or is it fiction? I certainly know what went on in there, or did I? Follow this trip as I went deeper and deeper into the health care system within the island. This is from pre-admission right up until the departure day and I have had a quare few of those. Read onwards as this character is released into the services of the north of Ireland.
