Lynne I love reading your posts, you seem intellegent and you seem to have a lot of knowlege (I can not spell worth a crap) and you are extreamly informative. Gotta love that. Also you make me laugh some times like the rest that seem to be regular posters
I would love a bath tub with seatbelts for all those times I fell asleep in it and slid in only to wake up panicing because my face was under water. Yeah I believe it would be to help people that had problems staying upright. Showers would be much easier then restraining them in a tub. It just makes more sense. If people were abusing people because they caused them more work why would they not use the easiest way to wash them and use the shower?
This bld Bonner Medical wasn't it used as a detox for years even after the main hospital closed?
I am sure it was used in 1995 or 94
I knew someone who stated there.
It is a site. Never could put words to the
feeling I had when I entered the grounds of the old hospital.
I have a great deal of respect for people that work in institutions. I did a work expeirince in a mental institution. I was on in the day patient area doing some of the administrative work. Most of the patients were friendly but the ones that were not were hell. One day on the elephator 2 young girls came in as my self and some one else working in the adminstrative area of the day patients were going up to the top floor. One of the girls walked the other to the corner of the elephator and asked that we drop her off on the 3rd floor. No problem. Soon as the elephator closed the girl started pounding her head onto the elephator wall screaming that she could not take the pain she needed drugs and shaking. Seeing as the other woman that was with me was small she went and got a nurse as I watched the patient not closly but making sure she did not leave the elephator (she never tried to get out thank gosh) and making sure no one else got in and that it stayed on that floor. The girl then procedded to beet on the nurse so my co-worker ran to get security (when the nurse backed off the girl stoped hitting her). How ever at this time I also noticed some wrong doing of the staff. Such as the realy pretty young patient who I believe was nymphatic because we hated using the stairs because she was forever in there having sex with any one of the other patients or frequently this one security officer. We reported him many times but nothing ever came of it. I am currently a security officer do to the ammount of, for lack of a better word, SICK things I have seen security do in the mental institution and when a friend or mines boy friend was in prison.
I am always stuned at how well the fire places are preserved. Most of these places have such lovely finre places, even when some of the places themselfs held horrid secrets
