Just like calling the police department and saying, well, it's Friday at 8 o'clock at night. We'll have cops back on duty Monday morning. Just hang out there for the weekend. And that's the best analogy I can make with the mental health inside the facilities.

I would come into work Sunday at 2 o'clock. We needed to go back, take the medical staff with us that we trust, and get him sent to the hospital if he's not already there by the time I come in. I don't care what the prime care provider says, what on-call says, we need to send him out if he's still in as rough shape as he was yesterday.

So she called an ambulance. We very carefully got him up, I think in a wheelchair, off his urine and water-soaked floor. He was wearing a full uniform, but the uniform was also saturated, like it was just dripping. At this point, we know he's going out. The ambulance is on the way. And we put him in the shower area where it's off camera where we can get him naked.

And sat him down in a green chair and tried asking him. I said, Jamal, dude, we need to change. You're going out to the hospital to get help. We need to get you out of this soaking wet uniform. I think you'll feel better. You'll warm up. And I asked him, I said, can I help you get undressed? I said, I've known you for a while.

I know this might be awkward, but I need to help you get this uniform off. And he gave me a little head nod.

Just layers of skin came off with his wet uniform. His skin was like pruney and wrinkled up like you were in the bathtub or the pool all day. And his skin just came off almost like tissue paper. I had gloves on my hands, but my hands were just cold from handling the wet uniform and the skin on top of it.

He wanted nothing to do with communicating. I don't know if he didn't have energy to or he was in a mental state. I'm not sure. He wanted nothing to do with talking or moving or even helping us. He was conscious, but it's almost like he was just like a zombie. And the paramedics put him on the gurney and took him to the hospital. After we got him out of the building, we all just like, whoa.

Afterwards, you're like, oh my God, how does it get like that?

We tried everything that was in our power. We aren't doctors. We don't work at the hospital. We can't say he's okay to come back. Like, at some point, it's just out of the scope of our job and out of our control.

Hi, Charlie. I'm from New Jersey. So I'm a 19 year old conservative pop music artist. I want to be able to share my views and build my brand around that. But I find it very hard in a liberal industry with Chapel Roan and Charlie XCX. And I've always been told, oh, you gotta push your music towards the LGBTQ community. which I thought was ridiculous.
