Susanna randomly mentions encounters with other patients but they never stay fixed in the storyline. One such character was Wade, Georgina's boyfriend. Wade was seventeen and enraged about almost everything. Susanna recounts listening to him tell stories about his father one day. According to Wade, his father was spy who had killed dozens of people with his bare hands and lived in Miami, for the accessiblity to Cuba. Another character mentioned, who was probably the most disturbing was Daisy. Susanna remembers Daisy being a seasonal patient who usually came to the hospital just before Thanksgiving and stayed through Christmsas every year. Her two passions were laxatives and chicken. Every morning she would drum the nurse's station for her Colace or Ex-Lax and twice a week her father would bring and oven-roasted chicken baked by her mother and wrapped in aluminum foil. Daisy's father would often stay long periods of time. Lisa made the assumption that he could not believe that he had made her and wanted to have sex with her to make sure she was real. Not long after Susanna arrived, Daisy's father bought her an apartment to move into. Soon after, Daisy committed suicide. Lisa Cody was another brief character introduced who wanted to be like the original Lisa in everyway. They started out close but eventually the old Lisa got tired of it. One day Lisa Cody just disappeared never to be heard from again. On another occassion, a girl named Alice Calais was admitted to the hospital. At first she was very quiet and timid. Everyone liked her except Lisa, who did not like anyone really, and after about a month she exploded like a volcano at which point she was taken to maximum security. Susanna and her group of friends wnet to visit her one day in maximum security. Susanna describes her ward a vacation compared to maximum security which had bars on the windows, no doors on the bathrooms, and no toilet seats.
