I still can't believe these places leave all these things behind.

My neice is a registered nurse in South Carolia. She always wanted to be a nurse since she was little. She told me once if she told me what she got paid, I wouldn't believe her. She now teaches nursing and works at the hospital part-time.

May I ask; if they eventually decide to tear down these builings; would they remove the contents or just leave everything as it is?

LOVE THOSE STAIRS!!!!! And would love to know what's down there!

You caught the dreariness and gloominess of this room.

Mt mouth fell open when I viewed this picture! Gorgeous fireplace!

Beautiful photo! Almost looks like a church.

Everyone knows those things don't do anything but move you'r fat around

I could name some people that aren't FIT to be parents so the kids would probably benefit being away from them. I think when a child is very little, they show so much love and want so much attention that any misbehavior, on an adults part, they are easy to forgive. You don't realize ALOT of things until you get older.

Perhaps they could just say patients and staff?

I know everyone, including me, always are saying, "How sad, how horrible", and alot IS sad but I feel that under the circumstances at the time, they did all they could with what they had and what they knew--then. It seems cruel and barbaric to think of certain things they did but I'm sure the professionals didn't have all the modern medical adcantages that we have now. My grandmother used to tell me stories of all the homes in her time for so called "bad" kids. My mom used to say to me occasionally,"If you don't behave I'm going to send you to a home". Well, that used to scare the heck out of me! But now the tables have turned somewhat. When my daughter was younger, and she used to talk back to me, I'd go to smack her face and I got the statement,"If you smack me, I'm going to the guidance councelor!" It goes from one extreme to another.

Very sad picture. Makes you wonder what happened to any that used that crib.

The big one is a blood collection vial, but the others lare ampules.
Really small ampuoles though.
Any human nurses (I'm a veterinary nurse) want to speculate as to what was in those little amps?
Maybe barbituates to "calm" code white patients?

Looks like a gynelogical examination table.

This is such a SAD picture. Regardless of the handicap, there is NOTHING like a GOOD Mother's love. Every child needs to be held and given attention , and shown love in order to thrive properly. And yes, I commend anyone who works with the handicapped; whether it's the elderly, mental problems, or anyhting. Just like working in forensics or anything like that; it takes a special person to be able to do different things. Some people could and some people couldn't.
