WOW!

It's a pleasure to have you here visiting.
Thank you so much for coming by.

We would like to hear more about the hospital and your experiences there. If you would be so inclined to share it with us.

I hope this guy Wayne is 15 years old and is planning to grow up some. There is no respect shown here and I just shake my head. I went to school at Pilgrim, still keep in touch with some of my nursing school friends and cherish the memories.

This is my class... graduated in 1972..I can name these peeps... they changed the uniforms soon after that, but I can understand why someone thought it was a class from the 50's. There are plenty of these classmates alive still. we are in our mid-50's and almost no one stayed in the state hospital system.. we all moved away... having had enough of it then, but time has made these years more precious to us... and value the education we got there.. We knew we were getting a good education WHEN we were there... It was awesome. I live in Texas now, moved from Baldwin NY in 1982... still a good nurse...nursing administrator now. They taught us integrity in nursing you don't see at all now.

Eerie but beautiful but thats what I expect from Motts.

Did that ''Shawna'' girl even think about what she said?? LOL!!

''I heard..I head..I heard'' you dont know anything!! turn off MTV and study REAL history..not that new ''50 cent'' video!

Lynee is correct that the dead really do a number on the living(meaning when they are wheeled around) esp in a mental hospital, so they made these tunnel's in part for that ordeal!

Some of these place's have had abusive staff, but it was not in the majority..most have clean record's..which is amazing considering what they have to put up with, could you handle being around people who are not all that stable all day and night..it take's compassion for this type of thing!

But I also know that what the resident's in these place's do is not all that ''crazy'' that would be more in the criminal hospital!

I also want to add that many member's of my family or their friend's have worked in hospital's, they seem to be more concerned with what the state is doing to screw them over rather than having to worry about the residnet's!

My mother told me this one guy thought he was Hitler ..she has a few other storie's but nothing like a tragic beating or anything!

TURN OFF THE TV!!

Well, I for one DO beat my patients, but only when they ask me too... Why else would I have a whip? :D

No no, TUESDAY is your day in the barrel...

''Lyric''

I meant you will not see this huge a capacity, I dont think they build them like this anymore, it is an old school type of design!

Beside's there is not to many building's with ''15,000'' people living in them anymore either, all under one care!

Old idea's were so much different than today..yet still had so much thought put into them!

Mortician's must have been very busy in this place, I am sure they made a lot of money and were highley respected for the time period as well!

Dunno Lynne m'dear you must be getting confused.

I wonder if by letting it out that the deceased are moved around in the unseen places in the hospitals and that they are taken to the Morgue in the freight elevator will wind up being construed as abuse of the dead?

Maybe I'm the morbid one here.

What? You mean we DON'T beat up all the fragile people we are supposed to look after? Maybe I am reading too many gothic horror novels or reading too many websites where people want this to happen and I've gotten cornfused with my own self . . . .

Gosh, thanks for straightening me out, Lyric!

I hate soda pop!!

As a young boy I always hated it..it was difficult for me to eat at a resturaunt due to this, I guess me being German mean's I have strong love for Lemonade..it was always my fave, Lemonade is a very German thing!

Soda is a true ''evil'' and is one of the worst thing's for the human body!

[thump thump]

Tunnels in these buildings were indeed for transporting patients as well as the dead. Food, supplies.. heat etc.

The whole abuse thing is just too blown out of proportion.
The biggest thing that you would transport a patient for, would be to respectfully move the deceased.

Many of the living cannot deal with death, and do not deal with well. Even in whole capacity, let alone diminished capacity, which is why even in modern hospitals the dead are transported in seperate elevators, and when possible down hallways less used, that do not adjoin patient rooms.

Tunnels with no windows were also utilized as shelter durning Tornados and other disasters. To dimish flying debris such as broken glass.

Yes, that is so very true and I am so very glad that someone finally had the courage to say it, Shawna. Us hospital staff types were and still are always beating up the people we are paid to look after. We have absolutely nothing better to do than beat and pound defenseless people and then we have to try to hide it, naturally.

[Thump thump thump]

i heard that the reason there are no windows down in the tunnels because of the fact that the paitens were so physcially abused that when they had to walk from building to building nobody wanted to see them thats why they made tunnels with no windows

This just look's ''creepey'' becasue it too of course has decayed over time!! it now is like a mockerey of death!

Motts got it right with his statement!

Most people watch way to many movie's and take them as the truth!!!

GROW UP!!!!!
