It's electric...? Then what's the go with the turning handle.

Whoa! Are we still looking at the same place, here? Call me naive, but since when did they start using fireplaces in hospitals? there's something really sinister about that; They probably installed it exclusively for... The Others: the private health patients! bwah ha ha ha...!

I'm afraid I have to disagree with the black and white comment. I think the green and white colouring really brings out that morbid state hospital appeal that says... "That's right - the morgue is just around the corner. Now get some rest, sweetie."

Wow! I thought this derelict compound stuff was all Hollywood cliche. It all totally reminds me of the consol game, Silent Hill. If you want a 3D experience in this creepy atmosphere, I urge you to play the game.

Well it works both ways. You are given the opportunity to say what you experienced. Some of us who work/worked in the MH/MR field also experienced things and often not what most people want to hear. The problem I have with certain comments, and I think Lynn agrees is people tend to imagine what things were/are like, not necessarily how they actually are. And since the workers are usually the targets of some posters, naturally we're going to try to give you a different perspective. Whether you choose to accept it is your choice.

lynne-
i have spent many years in places like this, and i know that the staff get treated like shit, its fucked up, but you have to look at both sides. you are defending yours. as someone whose parents left them in the care of places where stuff like the lack of privacy, food deprivation, sexual, emotional and physical abuse did in fact happen at the hands of state paid staff in facilities (and not tens of years ago either- its going on to this day, just much more hush hush), you have to understand that while there are good people out there (as I'm sure you are) defending yourselfs and martrying your self is not going to stop the abuse thats happening still to kids. See? I like this web site because it exposes things that happened to defenseless people in institiutions, but as the photos are old and the buildings condemed and decreped, its easy to put it out of your mind as part of history. My suggestion to you Lynne is to get off the defense of yourself and your field and people will quit attacking. This needs to be seen for what it is. A horror, and while to you it may not be so horrific, to others it is extremely damaging, and there's a lot of work to be done.
