Disease is everywhere, not just at the hospitals.
As Edgar Allan Poe once wrote, in The Masque of the Red Death:
“The red death had long devastated the country. No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous. Blood was its Avatar and its seal — the madness and the horror of blood. There were sharp pains, and sudden dizziness, and then profuse bleeding at the pores, with dissolution. The scarlet stains upon the body and especially upon the face of the victim, were the pest ban which shut him out from the aid and from the sympathy of his fellow-men. And the whole seizure, progress, and termination of the disease, were incidents of half an hour”

At least in Edgar Allan Poe´s short stories, the fatal end comes in about 30 minutes.
Unfortunately, in real life, mental disease like schizophrenia, borderline personality and narcissism, may last years.
When not properly treated, psychiatric or psychologic illness last for decades, or even a lifetime.
