he just stopped there, thinking he was tired... and felt a little off. He thought, its a bit worse. Maybe some sleep. And that was it.

I hope there is a spiritual stream of consciousness where we can all be one in the end.
My parents and my aunts worked at the Pines for many years.
I remember going there to visit as a kid.
Took a drive there today and it brought back so many memories.
The entire area seems so run down. Not the cool place I remember it as in the 70's. What a shame.

I tried to watch it at PBS but its not up there either. Hopefully , maybe they'll show it on TV again sometime since I missed it. Like someone else posted its not up at YouTube either...taken down. I think its scary & sad that this was and still is preformed on pts. It just makes me wonder how is putting an ice pick to someone's brain gonna help them?? I guess I just don't see it. It seems it would do one more harm than good really. Plus Angela I do hear what your saying about closing all the hospitals and sending pts out in the streets etc . Some may not have anyone to help them or understand what to do or how to live when that is all that they've known. Some patients probably did need that supervision and still do. Than there are others where the medication we have nowadays helps them (as long as they take it like they should).....Plus, I don't know about the hospitals conditions and the real care that these pts received. It does seem that funds where going down in most communities or State run hospitals so I'd say care would lack because of $$. Now if any former workers at any Hospitals could comment that would be great because I don mean to say things wrong ...so please correct me if I am wrong. Also I am not saying that all pts where treated wrong or in a ill manner in all Hospitals but I am sure that some where and if so that is very very sad. It does happen and I'm sure even in places (like homes of course or nursing homes etc) and its still wrong and still sad. Anyway, sorry to kinda get off the topic. Thanks for the info Motts. I hope you post a new gallery sometime for I check your site everytime I'm online......Thanks for keeping us informed!!!

Yeah, you gotta have a sense of humor about it, considering the situation. Its either laugh or go crazy. Think of everything thayt went on there, think if it was 50 years ago, YOUd be in there. This is your only way of sticking it to the man, showing them Im alive and youre not. Or not, hell idk. I love the pictures though, you could photograph a toilet in there and it would look good to me.
