1 Military Medicine Institute SAF, Singapore 2 Psychological Care Centre SAF, Singapore Address for Correspondence: Dr Leonard Yeo Leong Litt, Military Medicine Institute, 27 Medical Drive, #08-01, DSO (Kent Ridge) Building, Singapore 117510. Email: [email protected] Schizophrenia – a mind torn asunder – is a difficult illness to live with, both for the patient as well as for the caregiver; thus, it is not an uncommon sight to see the authorities bring such patients to our psychiatric practice, whether abandoned or simply lost. What was unusual in this case is that this patient was handed over to us by 2 dour “agents” as they introduced themselves. It was assumed that they were from the FBI, though we never got a chance to see their credentials.
