In theory it’s for safety, both for the patient and the workers. A lot of the point of inpatient facilities is to monitor the people, and ensure they can’t harm themselves or others, while their circumstances or medications get sorted out.

That’s not to say every facility is perfect, and that’s not saying anything about you. But generally, it’s for their own good.

Get something lightly used on eBay. Seriously. You can get a solid convertible laptop there for half the retail price.

It could change the math for primaries, though.

That’s a sign of attention deficit, talk to a doctor and you can probably get help.
