Eighteen year-old Patricia Wilson was taken to the North Shore emergency room by her
family after she complained that she couldn't sleep because of the “voices” she heard.
She couldn't really say what the voices were saying but the family reported that Patricia
went on rambling and they could not understand her conversations. For the past six

and appearance.
