I am a psychiatrist who recently worked at a large state hospital for the criminally insane, Napa State Hospital, where I was the Medical Chief of Staff. My inspiration and ideas came through my experiences, although the Bay Area State Hospital (BASH) is totally fictional.

Currently I live in Napa California, but the hospital I write about is set near Charleston, SC, a place where I lived and worked, went to school, and got married.

“The old joke is that psychiatrists are doctors who can't stand the sight of blood. Maybe they can't stand it, but if they work where I work, they damn well better get used to it.
At least surgeons and prizefighters get to wear gloves”
Mike Bartos, Bash
