Nicole, While urban explorers may get romantic about the abandoned architecture of "the met" we know that there was nothing romantic about being an inmate confined in that medieval asylum. Good ridance!

Back in '72 I was getting a tooth drilled on that chair and I got "agitated" when they did not give me enough novicane, so they injected me with 1000 mg of thorazine. Fun place! NOT!!!

The chicken soup was delicious but you would have been wise to stay away from the fish.
Nurse Fronsenna was nice.

When I was there in '69 Nurse Davenport used to give me Halcion "chemical restraints" when I "acted out" and asked too many questions. In my stupor I can still remember my fellow patients who endured excess electrical "therapy" administered by psychotic doctors who put Dr Frankenstein to shame...
