Indeed, one thing not depicted in Grippy Socks is the reason why you're in the hospital in the first place. That's left to your imagination, along with whatever symptoms (such as depression, psychosis, etc) that you're experiencing and recovering from. Note that in one of my other games on this site (The Hunger Games Simulation) you can experience hallucination effects if you get stung by Tracker Jackers.
