TV with Meds

the meds are gone now

there on the gurney next to it :)

Maybe the guy watching that TV forgot to take his meds that day!

no no, the meds were to make the tv feel better, its clearly very sick

Actually, those aren't meds. I was there earlier today. Those are actually vials for stool samples. If you have a full resolution detail of this photo, zoom in and see if you can read the label. It actually has a diagram explaining how to describe the consistency of the 'sample'.

THE TELEVISION OF DEATH FOR ALL THE LONELY PEOPLE AN THE DEPRESS PEOPLE XZ

you dont take your meds you cant watch tv........................i guess he couldnt watch tv and got pissed and broke it

If Paul doesn't tell Jennifer that Craig switched the babies, I'm bashing the TV...

~BOOM~

ROFL! Oh, goodness! :0)

Hmmm... looks like someone got angry!

I cant take ti anymore..these pictures r so sad..im gonna cry

Damn it! I can't take anymore reality shows!

I guess they didn't show his tv show. XD

this stuff seroiusly isnt funny ....i go to school like ight by there and i wlakwed in to the morge and the crematory one day and its pritty sick shit ....nothing to laugh about ...the mentally retatred werent treated nice and they deff werent comforted

Samantha i can see that by the picture.

Haha why do i know everyone of here. i know sam.

PEOPLE INSTEAD OF LAUGHING AT THIS, GO THERE AND SEE HOW TERRIBLE THESE PEOPLE HAD IT. NO ONE CARED. THE STATE SHOULD REALLY INVESTIGATE ALL THE TORTURE WHICH LED TO DEATH THERE. THE STORIES PEOPLE TELL ARE SO UNKIND

Never been to that one. Laughed my ass off. "frustration, meds & horror" - the TV falls prey to Mr Hyde!

I knew a guy when I was a kid who would get old used TVs wherever he could find them. He was a whiz with electronics and he would fix the TVs. Then he would watch TV with a loaded pistol and when something he didn't like came on TV he would shoot the screen.

Maybe this is where he ended up.

I bet they were dope pills

samantha, lorraine, any specific stories of torture, or just speculating? they had a morgue because they were a hospital, and people die more frequently at hospitals than in other places.

makes sense to have a place to put those stiffs on ice so they don't spoil before you eat them. ;)

somebody did not liked tv or the film what was on :)

Gezal, your friend did what I have always dreamed of doing, shooting out the front of a tv!!. I have always wanted to hurl a brick through the front of one too, as far as I"m concerned it's the best thing you could do with a tv. But then I'm mad as a lampshade so what do I know :/

HI.....I just randomly found this site tonight, and it is freaking me out...I lived in Stony Point (the next town over from Thiells, where Letchworth was/is situated) most of my life and my Mom, Grandma, Uncles, Aunts, cousins...so many worked for Letchworth (as did I in the early 90's when they were begining deinstitutionalization). I worked in the food service department while I was in high school, and went there all the time when I was a kid to see my Mom at work. While I have heard of occassional travesties having had taken place there, for the most part, I have to say that from what my family members have told me, and from what I witnessed myself , the patients weren't so much mistreated, but treated as children who were seen as orphans. In fact, many were orphans or children with disabilities that did not include mental retardation. They were placed there because the state had no other means or ideas as to how to treat them, or what a more appropriate placement might be. In fact, I believe that a lot of locals had decreased fears/anxiety towards those with mental deficiencies, as patients were commonplace on the roadways and grounds surrounding the campus. There was even a youth soccer field bordering the grounds and patients often walked over to watch us play....I can't recall any of my team mates ever having been afraid or condescending to any patient who wandered by...What strikes me is the level of decay that has taken place on this site. It truely was a beautiful campus at one time. I visited about four years ago and was truely spooked by the condition of the buildings, especially the hospital, which was known as MED/SURG. They talked about converting the area to a college campus, which I think would have been pretty smart, as the area is relatively close to New York City and could enrich the suburban economy...anyway, my jumbled ramblings could go on forever, but I digress...

Working in pharmacy and knowing the desire to " get get get", esp. from teenagers and dumbasses - if they WERE meds no one would have left them sit there a day.

that was a very interesting sight. did ya happen to see who's name was on it and the year?

Most not like what was on!

I love this photograph !!!

I have always wanted to smash a television set !!!

Check out the history of the television.
The inventor hated his invention because they turned it into visual trash can.

i went there a couple of weeks ago like mad late and the whole village is fucking haunted as soon as u walk into the buildings it is twice as cold as it is outside...mad scary shit

Dude I forgot Where I left those, They are my anti-depressants.

We are quick to denounce the institutions, but I started in the field 20 years ago, during one of the big pushes for deinstitutionalization in my state. We wanted to set up a 6-person group home (now that's considered too large, but at the time it was considered optimal) with 24/7 staff. We went door-to-door in the neighborhood, talking to each household individually, then had a public meeting to share our plans. We explained that these people had mental retardation--they were not psychotic, sexual predators, drug addicts, or dangerous. In fact, most of them used wheelchairs and were not independently mobile. Several were blind and/or deaf. Staff would ALWAYS be with them. After this presentation, an educated man, with a high position in a local corporation, still stood up and said (and was quoted in the newspaper the next day), "What if IT (emphasis mine, but his actual word) gets out and rapes one of our women?" A few years later, in another neighborhood, our plans to open a home for a similar group were met by a local coalition who distributed fliers decrying "the cancer spreading through our neighborhood."

We came to work at Letchworth in 1970, I just remember they were beautiful people that needed us to survive. They called us "mom" or mami. We treated them with love and they became part of our family. That picture that you see here ...was never like that, there was a medication room and only the staff asigned had the key. Yes the state locate them in Letchworth because the family who responsible could not or would not take care of them. We also heard those horrible stories like many other people but those are not our memories.There was programs, trips, swimming pools. I remember staff compieing who kept there asigned clients better (clean,well fed and more) We have good memories of Letchworth.

If this were my site, I would deliberately delete all of the stupid, nonsensical comments...this is an exploration into history and though entertaining on some levels, not a laughing matter overall :)

this shit is sooo crazyyy...

No TV for you!!!

wonder if the pills, made 'em 'kill the tv'

Maybe, ginberry

Hope the pills weren't for anxiety.......just sayin' they didn't work. =D

I had a TV just like that in 1982. No remote for this model. I taught my then 4 year old daughter how to change the channel for daddy. =8-)

For some reason my mind jumps to the Mechanical Animals album I was listening to earlier Darn kids and their music these days .. ;--P

"God is in the TV .."
