Probably one of those people who gets arrested for something, then requested medical attention for some imaginary sickness thinking he could take it on the lamb.  Sucker!

Does remind me of a funny (in retrospect) story about my sister-in-law.  She is seriously not right in the head.  A few times a year she makes half hearted attempts at taking her own life, so off to the psych ward she goes... ironically it is the same hospital where Richard is, just a different ward.  One afternoon her husband arrives to visit with her and notices when he gets into the lock down ward that most of the patients are gathered down at the end of the hall looking out the window in great interest.  He has by now befriended some of them, so curious himself he walks down there and asks what is going on.  He's told that one of the "crazies" got loose and is being chased around the parking lot.  He asks "Really? Who?"  response: "Your wife."  Sure enough... looked out the window and Kirsten was trying to evade the big burly interns with the straight jacket. They of course won.  I visited the next day and she told me all about it. She was actually pist that they wouldn't let her go back outside.
