Maybe E.P. comes from emergency patients??? You know, emergency admissions...

In my country, Poland "a home with handle-less door" is a synonym for asylum, so it's realy meaningful photo for me

It's realy beautiful. It almost like find a golden ring in a mud

amazing.. only wings remains

My gosh! How horriblly it looks! It looks much more sinister that all these old, gothic asylums!

You're digging too deep I think. When I saw it I simply thought about his/her mental illness... because mental illness can be described as dancing to the different music (other people do not hear that music). It may be a brilant metaphor I like it very much

When I've seen it the first time I thought it's a hole in the bed, not some liquid. And I thought I've never seen that type of mattres... sinister idea, to make a hole in the mattres for patients who relieve themselfs in beds... but it also may be a nice way to prevent bedsores...random thinks

At my University that type is still in use in forensic medicine department.

these axes looks realy sinister. And that patient's room looks so small. Is it good or bad? I do not know...

Metal illneses may lead to suicide or ill person can died because he/she do not eat or ate something inedible but we cannot tell someone "died from mental illness" I think, beside acute catatonia states of course.

That tub is realy interesting. I've seen hydrotherapy tanks nowdays but they don't have got so interesting shapes nowdays. Maybe it was for more then one patient?

In that view it looks more like an old spaceship

It realy looks like fat. During WWII in Cracow, Poland one Nazi doctor made a soap of dead humans' fat. It's true story, realy

These knifes are funny. They look more like kitchen stuff then hospital ones

It doesn't matter what it is. It looks beautiful and scary... And it turn on our imagination. And makes us thinking about poor souls kept here - and that is the most important.
