    You know that computer has been running 24/7 for so long when you can hear the bearings in the fans screaming meters away.
    But gotta love good old Windows 98. Asks for a password, you click cancel and it logs you in anyway.
    You have no idea how happy I felt when you shut it down. That poor computer needed a break :)

      This was most likely turned on by the proper people. There has to of been at least a few power outages since the hospitals closure and computers dont turn on after power failures. If there was miraculously no power outages and it did manage to run all these years most of the computer hardware would of been long dead.

The 9 1/2 floor at Belleview has a few of them that were created from walk-in freezers. The isolation or the studies would sometimes freak out patients and I can remember a few of them running down the hall with a electrodes trailing behind.

      Umm ok yes there is still issues with mental help but that is mostly cause push comes to shove we still have little understanding. But the suffering now is still pretty different, they dont perform lobotomies now just to calm a patient down, ECT therapy is done in more controlled manners with lower current ratings and requiring far more knowledge and training to perform. no one acts like abuse has ended but its very different now cause medical malpractice has gotten in, there was I believe a hidalgo special where he visited an asylum where patients were stacking the halls, unclean soiled clothes, cared for just left to rot while the staff struggled to even find what way is up. Speaking as a high function autistic, when i would goto the behavioral science center in my town, it wasnt anything like the asylums of old.

    I worked for a power company as the guy that turned on and off the power. Power on cuz of one of two reasons,
    1 government funding and an oversight in payment / someone in government thinks that it is a hospital and may be needed in an emergency someday, so they keep paying the bill.
    2 power company forgot to pull the power on such a large building that had power uninterrupted for almost 100 years, and now uses less power than a backyard shed, and probably still has a note on the account that it is to always have power and never turned off cuz hospital.
    Also I Know of 3 more old hospitals that are still powered just like this. And one radio tower with nothing in it anymore that still has power cuz it was once part of the emergency broadcast network. Anything that is emergency has special notes on the account to never turn it off and to give it top priority to fix it's power if it ever loses power. The radio tower hadn't had anything in it since the 1990s and I was told to fix the power to it in a year 2017 after the unused meter broke from old age the day before.

      I work in this field. That’s something plenty of healthcare providers abide by. The documentation, in this case the “progress note” can be a matter of public record. The incident report is an internal document. If you mention the IR in the progress note in a client’s EMR, it can then be discoverable and therefore subpoenaed in a lawsuit. It has nothing to do with torture or inhumane treatment. People were certainly mistreated in mental health hospitals, but this is really a matter of standard practice. 2002 was 18 years ago, not 180 years ago. Patients will try to sue hospitals for any slight reason.
