Hey Lynne. Although I abosolutely understand where your coming from.....part of me feels you have no clue.

I have to read nursing logs and staff event forms from my section of campus for my thrice weekly risk management meetings, plus I have to read all the nursing logs once a month (for 500 folks). It is generally the highlight of my day trying to figure out exactly what people wrote, as what I like to PRETEND they say is always a lot funnier than what they ACTUALLY say. It is especially difficult to interpret if someone misspells a word or uses an abbreviation I'm not expecting.

God save the poor people who have to read physicians' handwriting, however. 8-(

"You're another sinner" is the only thing (so far) that makes any sence...but...at first glance, it still looks like "have another twin" (LOL & GRRR)

I think Lynne is right. "You've Another Sinner" looks right from what i see. I Know it say "You've another"

I wish Northhampton could look so buetifull like this building. This shot is Just AMAZING Motts. Espaccely the tub bolted to the wall. Makes It look Haunted.

I Love the colors they blend in so Greatly. There the best condition too.

The average inpatient stay is 12 days. Men are more likely to be hospitalized for alcohol and/or substance abuse issues, and people with those issues generally have a longer stay than those without as they need to detox as well as get their other issues handled:

Please, don't be embarassed Lynne. I am finally learning things about the human brain that has fascinated me for many years.
What's better is that I am learning to appreciate all the work that goes into Mental Health Care.
I know that it is a field that is sorely in need of the right kinds of people to go into this section of medical care.
I have also learned more about the old ways of treating illnesses, and that it isn't the 1800's where you can be a lobotomy candidate for masturbating.
You do Motts, this site, and us a great service by being here and working to advocate proper treatment and care of the patients. I am proud to read your comments and rally behind you as you remember to {thump} us all on the head with the knowledge you posess.

Thank you very much for all you do, both here and on your job.

LYNNE, FROM 1850 TO PRESENT, HAVE THERE BEEN MORE MALE OR FEMALE PATIENTS, COMMITTED OR OTHERWISE, TO STATE HOSPITALS? AND WHICH TENDS TO HAVE A LONGER STAY? I KNOW THAT AFTER THE WARS, IT WAS THE MALES, BUT HOW ABOUT THE REST OF THE TIME?

I have seen some artistic grafitti. Beautifully drawn and in perfect proportions. These are few and far inbetween as most grafitti is nothing more than a waste of spray paint.

The key word there is "they think" , but not really.

Um, Mike? Do you guys not speak English on purpose, or what?

I wonder if they think they're so artistic, why don't they go to art school?

thats awesome

Man I love these hallway shots.
