John D From Ward D.

Very true.

Hey boiler1220 - so you were on ward D from 88-91? I remember three staff members, one was named Eric, white guy, skinny, had a beard, always wore a public enemy t-shirt "fear of a black planet" I believe, the second was Janet, huge boobs, lots of bangs, I could still spank to it just thinking about her, then there was this other guy Mark, always wore a leather jacket, there was one dude who was totally queer we all made fun of, and some older lady who worked there that spoke like she was retarded. They had a Nintendo in the rec room on the 2nd floor. The restraint bag was a body length, green, 2 jacket system with an inner plastic vest sleeve that had straps which would zip your wrists to your ankles, and then there was a canvas outer bag which had wood 2 x 4's running the entire length of the inside to keep your body strait like a pencil which had cinch straps as well as carry handles. they would leave you face down w/ a fan on you for hours after shooting you in the ass w/ thorazine if you got too lippy or tried to hit someone. One of the head Doctors was named Dr. Strongburg. Any of this ring a bell?

I remember Danny from Ward D, he had curly hair and wicked feet. That's about all I remember of him.

I need to find out how i can buy the book ' hell and back' about gaebler. if anyone has any info it would be greatly appreciated Thank you!!!

I was on Ward D from 1970-1973. My parents didn't have a say in the medication regimen I was on, nor could they take me out. I was civilly committed under the new law (at the time) M.G.L. Chapter 123.

Hi Shauna,

I haven't been on here in a long time and I just saw your post. No offense taken. I am truly sorry for anything I did to offend/ hurt you. It was never my intention and I sincerely apologize. I remember you as a smart and funny teenager with a great smile. I was 19 when I started working there and stayed for a little over a year. I was about 5 months pregnant with my first child when I left. I believe you were still there.
I hope you are very happy in your life and that you are doing well. God bless you and yours also. Take Care.
