Xander,

If you keep on reading you will see that we have a contributor to this site who actually used one of these very machines and still uses a modified one at night to help him breathe. There is plenty of information out there on how helpful (in some cases absolutely necessary) these machines were/are to keep people properly oxygenated. If you cannot breathe sufficiently on your own, an iron lung or some such similar device less bulky (but there are still people who need these large ones) is absolutely essential to keep you alive - no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

Xander, I am always curious where people get their information, such as "some hundred patients that were misdiagnosed by a time in which much was mistaken for insanity." Is there somewhere I can go to see this information? I haven't run across anything quite that concrete yet, and since I am working on an informal history of the field, that would be very helpful. Thanks in advance for any references you can provide.

Oh Very Sinister

Ohh This Reminds Me of That Low Budget Horror Film "Death Tunnel"

Its the bottom of the Hindenburg, being rebuilt.

Mr.Motts could you see in side the safe from the hole some one smashed beside it? What was in side?

I can,t believe the great shape it,s in

She stepped through the doorway, not knowing what awaited on the other side. What met her gaze was nothing more than amazing...

This is indeed a wonderful photo.
Can you imagine being caged in like an animal?

Freedom on the other side of a locked door...only open now when the patients are no more...

No view he found inside his prison. Every window was the same, and now he waits, his final sentance. Fore he was never insane.

Imagine the screams that echoed from that room. In fear that her voices would kill her. Fearing the "shocks". Destroying everything in her life in one fatal swoop, her world had ended.

But it was ominous, the procedures that were performed in that room not only increased the severity of the patient's condition, it also killed many patients through dangerous and unethical practices.
