This should be a wallpaper Motts. Or is that just my opinion?

I don't know why...I really like this picture, it's comforting for some reason, but I can't explain why.

This seems oddly familiar...have we been here before? No seriously.

This hospital disturbs me more than the others. I don't think I've ever seen or heard of one that was so 'caged.'

Well a year later we finally have an answer, though I see there's still some debating going on. I'll take PJ's word.

I went there on Saturday; it's amazing. I can't believe that the state allows people to get into the buildings so easily, and that there is no security, nor is it blocked off. Also, I was really surprised to see the amount of furniture and paperwork left behind. It looks like everyone left in a hurry.

Correction...It should have read "given that they were ABLE to bring him back" not about to bring him back. sorry

Well, out of respect I guess, I don't want to give too much detail and all. But, he did tell me that back then, they removed one lung as a common treatment of TB. Well, the doctors believed they needed to fill that space in the patient's chest back up. So they would fill the chest with ping-pong balls...which ultimately lead to severe infection and gangrene in the patient's chest cavity. It only made that patient die faster as a result. The surgery my Grandfather had to remove his lung in that hospital was filmed and he actually died on the table, fortunately they were able to revive him. I think it kinda shows the contrast between how far medicine hadn't come then, and how far it had given that they were about to bring him back.

I have never visited Glenn Dale but I have been told, first hand, about some of the things that went on in there. My Grandparents met there in the 30's when they were both patients in on the TB ward. I haven't asked too much about what went on there, but some of the things my Grandfather has told me are some crazy, but true, stories.

Wow, that would creep me the heck out if that was my nickname and that randomly showed up.

*shudder*~who would want an old morgue dripping tray, bad karma when you steal something like that!!
