Re: Death in a Psychiatric Hospital
Watching my father die in a nursing home prevents me from making any jokes about these poor souls.  Poignant post, Kelly.  |

Re: Death in a Psychiatric Hospital
I have spent months in psych hospitals here in the UK <yeah, get the violins ready> and i thought we were treated badly- well the shit on the floor pic happened quite frequently... The ward here had heating problems- it was bloody freezing but nobody actually died from it. I always thought of Cuba's health system quite good for various reasons (yeah, in Castro-land) so these pics were quite shocking. The wards here used to be mixed-sexed and I myself was sexually assulted twice (more violins...) and patients fighting both other patients and nurses was also a common occourance. Nice. Anyway, getting way off topic. Those pictures are shocking, and the worst of it all is that nothing will ever be done about it. |

Re: Death in a Psychiatric Hospital
There's a fascinating black and white film documentary called "Titicut Follies" about a psychiatric hospital in Chicago I watched recently. "The only American film banned from release for reasons other than obscenity or national security, Titicut Follies was filmed inside the Massachusetts Correctional Institution at Bridgewater, a prison hospital for the criminally insane. After the Commonwealth of Massachusetts sued the filmmakers, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled that the film constituted was an invasion of inmate privacy and ordered the withdrawal of the film from circulation." here's a link to the movie if any of you're interested: http://www.letmewatchthis.com/watch-...iticut-Follies |

Re: Death in a Psychiatric Hospital
OMG, In the West, this kind of treatment was prohibited in the very early 1900's. Worst than Midnight Express IMO. C'mon Castro, hurry up and pass the Tort laws of negligence. So sad. |
