STONY BROOK PSYCH....IF THE ILLNESS DONT KILL YOU, SURLY THE DOCTORS WILL...CHINESS PROVERB REFERED TO AS, IM INSAIN AND SO ARE YOU...YOUR
PH'D SURLY MEANS IM THROUGH...OR WAS THAT MD. DOSENT MATER EATHER WAY AS MY FIRST PAIENT WROTE ME A PERSCRIPTION ...AFTER I CURED HIM HE SENT ME A BILL...NEXT TIME I SEE TO IT HE /SHE HAS PLENTLY OF INSURENCE...JUST FOR THE PLEASURE JUST FOR THE THRILL...IF HE / SHE IS LATE ON THIER PAYMENTS, ILL TRIPPLE THE DAMN BILL.

SANTA HIMSELF ISNT GONA FUND YOUR STATE SYSTEEMS...NOT EVEN A LUMP OF COAL FOR THE WOOD BURNING STOVE...WHEN THE PSYCHRITIC SYSTEEMS TRULY REACH OUT AND CURE OUR CITIZANS MABE THE EASTER BUNNY WILL FIND FUNDING FOR OUR STATE SYSTEEMS BUT WITHOUT COAL IN THE WOOD STOVE THIS INSAINE SYSTEEM WILL WILL FREEZE OVER LIKE HELL ITSELF...

YOU PEOPLE NEED FUNDING, I WOULD NOT TREAT A CAT OR A DOG AS I HAD BEEN TREATED...DEATH WOULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH EASYIER...

I AM A VICTUM OF YOUR STATE FACILITYS...THE OVER CROWDING, LACK OF HONOR CARDS OR FREE TIME TO STROLL THE GROUNDS OR EVEN TO GO TO TOWN, THE PHYSCIAL AND EMOTIONAL ABUSES OF AMERICAN CITIZANS AND OUR NATIONS TRUE LEADERS, I THOUGHT ONLY WERE TO OCURE IN THE SOVIATE UNION...RUSSIA. APPARENTLY PSYCHRITRIC MUMBLE JUMBLE BLANTENTLY VIOLATES THE RIGHTS OF OUR NATIONS PEOPLES AND THE REALITYS OF SUCH AN ABUSIVE SYSTEEM IS NO BETER OR NO WORSE THEN WHAT OUR PROPAGANDA MACHINES ACUSE OF RUSSIA. I AM STILL A PROUD AMERICAN BUT CAN NOT GIVE YOU TEN REASONS WHY. 30 YEARS IN AND OUT OF SUCH STATE FACILITYS...GIVES ME REASON TO THINK...BUT FOR FEAR OF REPRISAL I DARE NOT TELL YOU MY TRUE THOUGHTS, ABOUT SUCH A SYSTEEM IN THIS OUR GREAT NATION...THESE UNITED STATES OF AMERCIA. PRESIDENT YOUNG USA 1976

graduated class of 74- lived in the dorms -with all the patients walking around-lots had freedom to roam the grounds-went through a "hazing" for new nursing students that included being blindfolded and taken down into the tunnels and left to find our way out in the dark-no map-brought us to the morgue -where we had to put our hands into icky things( later found out the "eyeballs " were canned grapes and the "intestines" were some kind of pasta in oil)and put pillow cases over our heads...it was scarey at first but once you knew the layout and the rules it was just school. we were given HUGE keys to the wards-they weighed about 10 oz a piece and could go on any floor in almost any building-worked weekends and summers in Bldg 23 all through nursing school - each ward used to get a huge can of floor wax to polish the floors before thanksgiving and CHristmas because that's when most visitors would come-I loved the pts -and they loved the students because we gave really great care to them- they were amazing-there was guy who worked in the kitchen who had been born there -his mom was a pt but he never knew who she was-sad -you have to remember that psychotropic drugs were just starting to be used and before that there was little they could do for the mentally ill except put them away from other people and try to protect them from their own demons.the really tormented ones would stand at the bars in the solariums and scream - i don't doubt that those voices can still be heard. i have a brick from Pilgrim that a my brother in law got for me when they started tearing the buildings down- i will always remember all the buildings and all the pts but it's not a bad thing that it is closed.

KINDA REMINDS ME OF A MICHEAL MYERS MOVIE.

IF PEOPLE DID NOT ENTER THE BUILDINGS WE WOULD NEVER KNOW WHAT THEY LOOKED LIKE OR WHAT POSSIBLY WENT ON. SO FOR THE LADY ASKING ,WELL YOUR INTERESTED OR YOU WOULD NOT BE HERE!!!

I COULD TOTALLY LIVE HERE!!
WONDER WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IN THE SUMMER? AND THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE HOMES SO WHY ARE THEY EMPTY?

nephew george was there and visited by a young girl spirit on rooftop(friendly) and throughout. Also saw by old rail train tracks spirits waitng for there train. it seems all are still caught there like an imprint in time. always leave there with a kind heart and warm thoughful respectful prayer.
