Your site has brought back many memories for me.My husband was hospitalized in 1972 for T.B.he was not allowed off of the ward he was in.He was threatened with jail if he left.But was given weekend passes.My husband is now 60 and healthy and incidently never been in trouble with the law or been to jail.There was a push in the 70s to keep these hospitals and patients like my husband were used to fill them up to try and keep them open.It was a sad place.They made crafts and worked puzzles and played cards.The hardest part was the lack of respect because like aids people were afraid andfear and ignorance are our worst enemies.

thanks for all this info, Mary. I never really knew what TB hospitals were like, and now I've got a good idea. I love hearing from people who've had experiences with all the different places on this site.

I agree with Mary. I would guess that much of the mystery, fear and negativity surrounding places like this and also sanitariums and asylums was due to people not understanding the diseases or illnesses these patients lived with.
