I like elevators. If you think this statement is banal, even vulgar, I won't deny it. You are right. In fact, banality and vulgarity can also please me if they are well contextualized. In my defense, I must explain that I don't like elevators for their obvious function, that of saving you from having to climb stairs. What I like about them is the possibility they give me to hide. If I'm lucky enough to go up alone, and there's no one to see me enter, for a few seconds there isn't a single being on the planet who knows where I am. While the metal capsule takes me to the floor I've indicated thanks to a button of dubious design (usually), I am completely disappeared, I cease to exist in the world.

In 2024, 1,020 involuntary psychiatric admissions were recorded in the Balearic Islands, more than half of which (575) took place at Son Espases. Following behind were Son Llàtzer, with 190; Manacor Hospital, with 118; Inca Hospital, with 106; Mateu Orfila Hospital, with 19; and Can Misses, which had 12 such admissions. According to the health experts consulted, this figure has remained stable over the years. What has worsened is the severity of the problems. Most admissions are for psychosis. "Now there are many psychotic episodes because many people are using synthetic drugs. The severity of what we see has increased significantly. The inpatient units, the mental health units... are all full," says Carme Canet, the Psychiatric Nursing Supervisor at Son Llàtzer Hospital.
