    seedanurse replied to seedanurse's topic in School

    That is really interesting! It sort of seems like there can be a 'behavioral' component to the episodes, but I do not want to dismiss the severity or authenticity of the diagnosis. The staff...

    seedanurse replied to nursetlm's topic in School
