tourture masquerading as medicene

Whwn I was 5-7 yrs. old I played with a register exactly like this one at my grandads house.It would occupy all my time. Thanks for the memories!!!

It breaks my heart to think o the people who had to be locked in their.

These are the diffrent levals I spoke about.I'm sure there are no curtins on these windows.

Their must have been children in this part.or they felt that this would make the pts calmer.

Between the hanging clothes and the curtins if seems like everyone just up and left suddenly.as to why thier would be curtins,their were diffrent levels of help that pts needed.It seems as though the pts in this area were not a danger to themselves or another.

LOVE old equipment shots.It gives us an idea of how peple were medical gunie pigs so to speak. I can't help but to think that after her last treatment we will never know where the will is.

The pictures of slices of brain! They were used to look for damaged areas. They can show where and if the person had had a lobotomy or a lobectomy. With rats they used a Stereotaxic instrument. Rather disgusting to see but fun to develop the pictures!

Went back to pic,and decided that I don't think I'd want to play with that even if it was new,and I was thirty years younger!

The alvin chipmunk comment seems like the best bet.can you imagine walking up on that in the dark with just a small flashlight?GREAT PIC!!!

Someone commented on the floor in this shot,I agree the floor is great.

Gives me a slight feeling of claustrophobia... Excellent work.

Very evocative of many emotions all at once, but the main reaction is "Oh S***!" :-)

You're collection is simply intriging, I really enjoyed lookig through these, thankyou so much!

Around the black area, at the bottom of the sinks pipe the floor seems to be caving in on itself, maybe an illusion im not sure.
