Not really. There was no malicious nurse, and I didn't have to fear being lobotomized.

Which brings up a good point. We should all be thankful that we're not experiencing all of this 50+ years ago when we'd be sliced up and experimented on. As bad as our culture's understanding of mental health is today, it used to be that we were considered sub-humans to be dissected.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
