Making Friends
Vicki made a lot of friends at the mental health facility, which was overall a good thing. Doctors and nurses encouraged the patients to pursue friendships, as they believed patients could have a positive influence on one another.

One friendship, though, was very troubling. 29-year-old Marvin Pancoast was a schizophrenic patient at the facility who’s gotten close to Vicki. Marvin was a long-time patient at the facility, and while he had a history of self-harm, the medical staff didn’t believe he posed a threat to other patients and encouraged his friendship with Vicki.
