Now days I think the scary part of being hospitalized is the drugs.

[I[/B][/I]Actually it didn't sound as bad as some of the accounts Ive read from the 1950's. The insulin treatments, cold water therapy, high voltage shock....or the state hospital in the 1900s that pulled people's teeth as a cure, if that didn't work removed tonsils, stomach and intestines, that doctor was crazy!

The treatment immigrants got at ellis island sound so humanitarian compared to the 1950's. The doctor that started the unit there was a saint but I always wondered what happened to them when they were sent back.
