They say that men do not cry.

Perhaps the most hypocritical statement I have ever heard. Even as they cry, only to themselves, with a stern look and indifference to everything around them.

From the first days that I got a job in a hospital there is a very harsh man. Former military. The intelligence officer has passed a single hot spot. Loud-voiced, especially when it comes to convening patients to eat. He will leave the kitchen and, with a full chest on a large exhalation, will issue “LUNCH” like thunder from a clear sky.
The department is always active. He feeds the elderly, cleans the kitchen, helps the nurse.

He asked me to somehow sign a power of attorney to receive a pension.

I wanted to make gifts to psychiatrists and medical staff in the form of cakes and chocolates. He sent him to the manager for permission, where of course he was refused. In psychiatry, employees are not allowed to receive a power of attorney for patients. Yes, and I was not particularly burning with desire. For a long time, of course, he was indignant over this. Therefore, when I left the shift, I was counting on going to the next to see him in a bad mood.

In general, it happened.

He never bought gifts.
For that reason he spent the whole night pairing with Mechnikov. Apparently one of the friends was able to pass him a bottle through the window.
Of course, this is a violation of the regime. And yes, we are sadists, should have punished him. We decided to stay on the transfer to the supervisory chamber for a day.

All the same, given the circumstances of the development of his disease, some cruel measures were useless.

In one of the stories about schizophrenia, I compared this sore to a sleeping guard who wakes up when the siren is already yelling louder than the Jericho trumpet.
In the case of the hero of our story, his guard woke up after the explosion of two cars with children.
It’s enough for someone to lose the love of their whole life to get off the coils. In his case, it’s really a pity for a person.

I would like to end this story with a message of understanding.

Not a single person will use poison without a weighty reason for this process.
