Honestly, I know that "Lynne" hasn't posted here for several years, but I've been going through many of the galleries and I'm just honestly annoyed with her responses to everyone. While it is true that there are many dedicated, caring and decent workers in the mental healthcare field (and I am sure that she is one of them), abuse and conditions that seem completely inhumane to our eyes now were accepted and completely normal turn of the century and even up into the 1950s-60s. Not to mention that this particular facility was well-known for its poor treatment of patients. I'm sorry, 74 patients don't file a class-action lawsuit for absolutely no reason. I think Lynne, if she even still posts here, needs to stop getting so defensive -- no one here insulted her or suggested that she herself was abusive towards patients. Ugh.
