| | |  J.K. Rowling visits young people at Edinburgh hospital
J.K. Rowling recently paid a visit to the Young People's Unit at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital in Morningside, Scotland, where she commemorated her visit with some creative graffiti. The unit looks after teenagers who have complex psychiatric conditions. Quote:
Consultant psychologist Dr Jane Morris said: "She really does spread magic. She's a natural and knows how to talk to young people. And she's extremely cool. She does graffiti on the walls which is probably worth a fortune.
"She's drawn all of us and wrote 'JK Rowling was here'."
Quote:
Dr Morris said: "I'd offer her a job any time as she's already a great therapist."
