Motts, what type of room was this in? Was this in a patient's room or a more "common" area? Just curious. I like to wonder about who scratched these types of things and what they might have been going through at the time...

Very creepy! Also, it looks like the window that covered that slot in the door had been painted over with the same paint as the door. I guess whoever was in that room wasn't even able to peak out the door slot... so sad.

That is beautiful tile work. I noticed the same sort of pattern on the floor in the room in the "closet" pics a few pages ago. I bet that looked amazing all nice, new and shiny.

"Aiuto" means "help". I can't make out what's written next to the painted wires.

It's been sold for $3.7 million according to the paper 12-30-12

Most of the medical tortures I was subjected to took place in this building. Isolation with denial of as much human contact as possible to the point that I was drugged into unconsciousness when they came to clean my paralyzed body to take away even that succor and to make it worse they told me it was poison that was going to kill me as I went out each time. All contact I do recall was abusive and aimed at terrorizing me. ECT to an extent that I am shocked that I have a mind at all and the same goes for the drugs they kept giving me to destroy my memory and ability to think.

This is also where they mentally and psychologically abused me after I recovered movement, intending to distort my mind so badly that anything I said about the abuse would sound crazy or not come across at all.
Since I started to recall I figured out that they did things intended to affect the language center of my brain which have worked. I cannot describe internal processes and or report on my own needs effectively especially to a doctor and this ability to communicate as I am now makes others ignore that when I say it.
A lot of the abuse was because of my ability to communicate and intended to take it away from me while leaving me intact enough to know what was gone out of pure spite and hatred of me for having that talent and racism.
The tortures I was subjected to while in the children's shelter out back would fit comfortably into a Tarantino movie or Mengele's "hospital" in the death camps.
