Hi Kathy, no I did not keep any diaries found here. Official patient records would probably be accessed through the New York State Office of Mental Health depending on your particular circumstances: http://www.omh.ny.gov/omhweb/faq/#c

Hey cool - yeah I hadn't noticed the pulley system inside. That might explain why the central shaft in the historic photo appears to be at a different height.

and yet another: http://www.snopes.com/...reakish/elevator.asp

Here is a similar accident: http://newyork.cbsloca...n-elevator-accident/

Elevator control panels are not reused because of newer safety codes. Someone was not too recently decapitated by the elevator because the maintenance man forgot to take it out of maintenance mode (which caused it to ignore the door sensors telling the electronics that there was a person still in between the doors (the person had fallen horizontally which is how they were torn between the elevator and the floor [this was shown in final destination {1 or 2} but it was supposedly impossible in real life because of the safety interlocks (which were bypassed by the maintenance man in real life)] and the doors were not fully closed). Don't be afraid to use the elevators, just be cautious while doing so (don't attempt to get onto one that has too many people on it, don't push or shove etc etc).
Sorry if I caused any nightmares.

I have been rushed through these types of elevators (nowadays they are for patient transport only) while waiting to get back to my room and be put back on the PCA pump

I have been exploring the "lab" building. Definitely electroshock therapy going on.

this is 3west ~ dining/ break room ...i was employed on 1 west from 86 - 88 sad pics for me

With my hospital experience (I practically grew up there because of my connective tissue disorder (Loeys Dietz Syndrome [ I am one of only a few hundred on earth with this disorder]) I would much prefer this room over a double room, because sometimes your roommate inadvertently causes you excruciating pain. I had just had open heart (they split my sternum then I had a nuss-bar (used to fix my pectusexcavatum) inserted that caused the sternum to be stretched open while I was recovering [btw my sternum never fused to this day], so my roommate decided to put the tv on robot chicken and I couldn't help but laugh which caused excruciating pain (I had to keep pushing my PCA pump button for more morphine lol). So roommates can be good and bad.

Ohhhh....I am so happy! You have taken a rainy day (been raining here for the past 2 days in fact) and made it Summer-Sunshine-Warm-And-Fun-filled-Day bright! :)

Please don't be a stranger! I know it isn't my place to pry, but I am sure everyone else is curious a little bit too...
What has been happening in Motts-world that kept you away for so long?

((HUG)) I will always be here for you--my exploring friend of whom I speak of a lot (and of whom my hubby tells me to shutup about constantly lol)...you are living my dream too. :) I can't explore the world quite how I used to be able to (5 kids...nuff said lol) so I have to live precarously through you. :)

Keep em coming and stay away from those Zombie Snakes and Zombie Goats!
