Was Simon Anthony based on a true patient. Being a District Nurse for 38 years myself (not psychiatric) - I encountered some very different people in very different living surroundings - so writing all over someone's walls is a perfectly believable phenomenon for me?

Hi Flo!
I have met many incredible people during my years as a psychiatric nurse and have to say that Simon is completely of my own devising. There are many elements in the story though that very much reflect my experiences - particularly the Mental Health Review Tribunal. I have to say also that the scene where the nurse doesn't give Simon his injection - that is true to. On that occasion, in real life, I was that nurse. Thank you so much for reading it though! Very kind of you!
