 | Wagner passes the facility routine, becomes stabilized on psychotropics and finally gets permission from the doctor to leave the unit. |
| Wagner is given his discharge packet and is told by the social worker to "take it to the street, asshole." |
| Typically, the mentally ill are discharged from a psych hospital, put on a Greyhound bus and sent somewhere far, far away. |  |
| (There is actually a migratory pattern for the mentally ill being shuffled around the country. Ride Greyhound, find out for yourself!) |
 |
Wagner is taken in by a kind family. The kid promises to feed him and pick up after him... let's only hope that they remember to give him his meds! |
