I was a psychiatric nurse in another institution here in Pennsylvania, during the 1980's to the late 90's. I had many other nurse friends that were transferred from Philadelphia State Hospital and came to work with me. The stories many would tell of the poor working conditions were astounding. No one who works in a State run facility sees the best of humanity. In the late 1940's to 195's the only drug heavily used was Thorazine. It was given in massive doses and was the only drug available for Schizophrenics. Many had severe brain damage and were like zombies. They needed almost complete care. The Govenors that held power in this state did not care about the mentally ill, often selling off large parcels of property around them for thier own gain. Our legislators, (elected) cared about thier own pockets and that is why our institutions suffered.
