After barely surviving a bad case of medical malpractice, Angela suffers under posttraumatic stress disorder, and is sent to a rehabilitation clinic for psychosomatic illnesses by her health insurer. Against her best judgment and carrying a multitude of preconceived notions about such clinics, Angela arrives and immediately finds her negative prejudices more than confirmed - at least in some ways. After a while, though, she discovers that the doctors and therapists can provide her with valuable assistance with her problems, and she concludes her stay on a note of gratitude for what she learned and experienced.The author, Bärbel Kiy, treats the subject of her stay in "The House of Loose Screw Heads or The Lunatic Castle with a Lakeside View with great humor, a healthy dose of hyperbole and just a pinch of scathing sarcasm, but in the final analysis appeals to all potential patients to dive head first into the adventure of a rehabilitation clinic.
