English term or phrase: walk up to a ward
..."Hell, yeah, I got him out. They always treat us nulls like we're useless, bt when I walk up to a ward, it dammm well goes down! But he'd been in there two years!

Mi propuesta:
A los Inadaptados siempre nos tratan como si fuéramos inútiles, pero cuando voy a una defensa, ¡se viene abajo! ¡Pero él ya había estado aquí dos años!

cuando me acerco a una sala


Explanation:
lo que sigue:"it damm well goes down" me hace pensar que ward es sala de hospital y no un guardia. Tal vez falta contexto.
Suerte
