They lived lives of stench, starvation, sleeping on the streets, barely clothed, and so on-lives of pure horrible hell. Many people call them human garbage! My heart is breaking knowing that few in our government hear their cries for help! When I was working in Guam, there were no acute psychotic patients. I don't know now, but when I was there, the patients in Guam were wonderfully cared for by their government. They had small apartments and a small staff taking care of them. My unit in Hawaii was wild: chairs getting thrown around, a multitude of both staff and patient full-body takedowns to the floor, getting full-on punches or slaps to my face. One male patient threw me to the floor and tried to rip off my clothes. I was terrified. This job was extremely dangerous! At the height of a patient's psychotic break is when they are most dangerous! When I left Queen's Hospital, I promised my patients and God I would tell America about my patients' cruel stories. I know there are people trying to make a difference, and hopefully, my story can help them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI also wrote briefly about my life as a child. At age five till age thirty-two, I was deemed \"retarded,\" now called \"challenged.\" At age thirty-two, I questioned my retardation. As I had always wanted to be a nurse, I took chemistry and earned an A. Whoopee! A whole new world opened for me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ginger Pendo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798899221972\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Page Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/10\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 138\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.32d","brand":"Ginger Pendo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48174867742975,"sku":"9798899221972","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c29ef5ec-d916-4b72-8740-01da560d0852.jpg?v=1771331044","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/one-who-flew-into-the-ginger-pendo-9798899221972","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
