Several years ago, when I was a 3rd-year medical student, I was assigned to do a psychiatry rotation in a locked psychiatric ward. The students were all given keys to get in and out, but the patients could not leave (they were not violent, just a danger to themselves).

One day I forgot my lunch, so I called my wife and asked her if she could drop it off on the way to work; our condo was about 1 mile away from the hospital. Since she could not just enter the ward, she stopped at the front desk to ask someone there to take me my lunch. The front-desk person was not convinced that she wasn't trying to check herself in. They kept asking her questions about whether she was considering taking her own life, how long she had been depressed, etc. It took her a few minutes to convince them that she just wanted to drop off her husband's lunch and that he was a medical student in the locked ward.
