the "EXIT" light must remain on.......it's a safety feature in all buildings...also Federal law.........they're hardwired to the buildings main incoming power lines prior to running thru building circuit breaker boxes. That confirms the power is still active at this entire facility.

The sad thing......the people who "think" they feel spirits or "ghosts".........enter the building INTENDING on experiencing a "paranormal" event....simply by the fact that the building would lappear ominous enuff and the history of the facility would preface an "encounter".....thus......pre-programming their minds for such an occurrence. Kinda like........"well look at the place, the history.....there HAS to be ghosts here....so I know I'll see one". Simply walking thru a doorway and creating air disturbance....then rustling dust or debris.........instantly that COMPLETELY NORMAL circumstance becomes a "ghostly contact" in the pre-programmed mind !! Anything that would or could create a sound....air rushing thru a hole in a roof or wall.....degradation in action(debris falling from ceiling or walls)....instantly becomes misinterpreted as a "paranormal experience". Leyman terms........"it's all in your head" !!!

IF......major IF......there were "spirits" or "ghosts" of the children society cast away here.........do you, for a moment, believe that spirit would want to languish in the same spot that was such a dispicable and horrific episode during its physical life ?? Again......IF....if there are spirits trapped here......will anyone really know ?? Unless Dr Venkman brings in his "ectoplasmic residue collection" team.......the paranormal science is still a bit of a "crystal ball" approach to discovering truth in "spirits trapped on Earth". Until a ghost walks up to you, in a place such as this, taps you on the shoulder and says "Hey, Im a ghost...just to prove that we exist"......it is and will continue to be.... conjecture.
Just wait a few more months, and it's going to be a fun slide!*

Nothing compares to childbirth, being in the delivery room when your kid pokes his (or her) way out for the first time.
My kid was a cesarian birth, and I got to hold him before my wife did, then brought him over to her, now that's cool.

Anyways, Sketch, thankee kindly. Yes, I do get in trouble for bending the rules on a very regular basis. There is a major irony in bureaucracies doing "people" work. There is a way to run a large organization and there is a way to run a "people" organization, and they do not target the same goals. To be a "people person" in a bureaucracy means you have to fight every day, but it's a good fight and an honest fight - it's a fight to get the needed resources to the people who truly need them and to fix the bureaucracy to work for the same goals. You do that and you're a winner all around.

In my humble piece of crap opinion. :-)

The problem is perception. If 9 out of 10 nurses are caring, loving, and give their all to their patients, but 1 is bad, you will remember that 1, not those 9. In reality 9 out of 10 is being conservative. I would bet that maybe 1 or 2 out of 500 are really bad people, but those are the only ones you hear about. Every nurse I've met (and I've been crazy my whole life, so I bet I've met more than you) has truly cared, and given their all to help their patients. These aren't people who go off to work for their 8 hours, then go home and forget all about work for the night. These are people who really give a shit about their work. They do their hardest to help people who really don't want help, and are willing to fight back for no reason. Can you even imagine what that's like?

Oh, and these "poor innocent people" who are locked up against their wills? Chances are, if they are in their, it is for their own good. Sometimes people can't be trusted to make good decisions for themselves, so someone else has to step in. Would you leave a deaf person in a room with a fire alarm that didn't flash as well as make noise? Some of these people would hurt or kill themselves, either intentionally or accidentally, if they were left on their own.

I guess it just comes down to living in the present, which too few people are willing to do. Were there abuses in the past? Sure, there were probably a lot. But those days are over. Now we are smart enough to watch and prevent abuse, and to keep those people who would be abusive away from people who would easily be taken advantage of.

And as for sticking to the book, I would be willing to bet that Lynne bends or breaks the rules if the rules interfere with her ability to treat a patient. Again, not to abuse the patient, to help the patient, because she cares about them.

Sorry for thread-jacking, but I can't stand people who are too stupid to see what is right in front of their faces. To make up for it: Motts, this is magnificent. As you can tell, it definitely provokes an emotional response, which is the point of all good art.
