I can see two faces, one of them with white eyes... not a very pleasing photo... very scary actually.

Session 9....

That is a really evocative shot. I have to admit that the pic did kinda freak me out when I first saw it.

Really cool shot. I like the fact that the walls are not covered with stupid graffiti.

Cool shot. Our friend, Tango, took similar photos from Cederwood Hospital.*
(Not the real name of the hospital btw)

Great shot. Feel like we are looking through the window.

I'm struck by the starkness of the white doors and the emptyness of the hallways.
Interesting that the floors are still virtually clean. Really great shot Mr. Motts

Is that the Corcoran?

They say that the eyes are windows to the soul well those windows in the doors are kind of small.

Hi Zac,

Certain medications have to be divided up and given across the day to attain and maintain specific blood levels, such as anticonvulsants and Ritalin, to do their job effectively. Other medications may be effective when they reach a particular dose, but if you give the total dose all at once it knocks the person out, so you divide it up and give it throughout the day to keep the person on an even keel. Another example is people with diabetes who usually have their insulin spaced out across the day to keep their blood sugar within specific limits. It is not unusual for a number of non-psychiatric medications to be given multiple times per day, such as antibiotics, post-transplant medications, hypertensives, pain medication, antihistamines, bronchodilators, etc.

Additionally, there are many medications that need to be given at a different time than certain other medications or they change the effectiveness of one or both medications. Therefore you might need to take one drug in the morning and another drug in the evening. Same is true of food and/or herbal products. If you drink grapefruit juice, for example, you can't take a number of medications right afterwards because it will affect the amount of medication that your body can utilize.

It's not the number of times something is given - it's how much is needed to get to a particular therapeutic level, and whether a specific blood level needs to be maintained while the person is awake. Every year new studies are run and new medications are discovered and introduced, so until you know the specifics it's hard to be too critical. There are many "normal" people who take medications 4 times a day.

I live in Great River and in 1997 my mom and I were driving by after we dropped my sister at Drivers Ed at NYIT and I saw a nurse in a window and I told my mom and she told that the place was closed down and abandoned. I swear to this day I really saw a nurse there and it wasn't my 14 year old mind playing tricks on me.

Does anyone else find it totally demented that these poor people were being medicated 4 times a day? A little excessive?! Probably why they needed to be there in the first place. Overmedication is never a good thing!

i use to get in this hospital wit alot of my friends for thrills we use to go at night one night we went wit a video camera and we caught voices shadows all types of stuff and in every room on the end of the wings of the hospital there was at least one or two birds wit there heads twisted completly around wat did that i dont know till this day but everytime we went there it was always something different it wasent all ways nice either to bad they opend it up again use to be alot of fun
