Durn barbarian medical professionals. ;-)

No they were weighing them to see if they were losing or gaining weight. It's something those idiot medical professionals do to see if patients have a serious illness or other problem that needs to be addressed.

It's called a decoration.

I think it's past time for your medications.

Right... because those who have mental dishabilles, handicaps, and illnesses have the ability to make a decision... oh wait... no they don't.

People with handicaps also get broken bones sometimes, just like "normal" people, and need diagnosis. They also get sick and need medical testing, just like "normal" people. I would be irritated if there were NO facilities for medical care in a large residential facility - THAT would be barbarous. Given how bad the budgets have always been since "normal" taxpayers never vote for any money for these places it is frankly impressive that they had any medical equipment at all.

As a point of reference, it is rather difficult to go to a regular hospital ER with someone who has a handicap of any sort. People always treat you like you are diseased and stare and talk about you like you can't hear them somehow. And if the person you are with has a very short attention span and is in a lot of pain and does not have much in the way of self-control, it is always a jolly good time in the public emergency room. I have spent many hours in ERs and frankly much prefer medical facilities that are on-grounds. The physicians and nurses there get you in a lot faster, they treat you like you know what you are talking about and actually ask for your input on what might be wrong, and they don't act as if the person you are taking for help is carrying the plague. :-)

We know insanity is bad for us, why do we do it?

What did they expect to find inside these poor people?

Fleur De Lis?? Noble Insanity??

Where they charging the patients by the pound??

Lynne,

On July 13, 2006 a message posted by ABgirl mentionned that she got one crib like the one that is shown. I wonder were she was able to have one. More info about suplliers would be great or if it possible to contact ABGirl to know more about it would be great.

Who in the world is taking all these awesome pictures?

I find all these pictrues amazing.
I love the oldness of it.

I had a uniform like this in nursing school. The colors where blue and white, but it is the exact same design. You had a choice of either a dress, or a shirt. The shirt looked exactly like the dress, only shorter.

yeah and if you became unruly, they would put a lid on it...fine by me , I just swung on the top bars

I remember being in a crib like this when I was at St. Vincent Hospital (Worcester MA) for eye surgery. I was about 3or 4 years old. I can remember there were four cribs in the room I was in and there was a kid about the same age as me. I guess they were not only used for infants.
