When I was younger I worked at the St. Louis State Asylum as a painter. Underneath the building were a bunch of tunnels that would lead to what appeared to be torture chambers. They had the classic steel hoop drilled into the wall to chain up these people. An old nurse who worked there at the time said she was in the room on many lobotomies and shock treatments. She said they would just really experiment on them doing barbaric stuff since the majority of the patients had no family come to visit. She said eventually a standards committee or something came in and shut the place down for a year due to unethical practice. She said after what she had seen in her life she felt at ease about her death, she had cancer and died a couple months later.
Doctors back in the day were free to do whatever the fuck they wanted.
My grandmother was a lab rat back in the day when she had TB.
They pried open her rip cage with no morphine to see if cutting up her lungs would stop it. They did that a number of times until they realized it just made shit worst.
Its part of the reason Ill never call a doctor doc. Fuck em.
My retarded folk were treated no better.
Which is why I loose it, when black folk try to talk about shit that happened 400 years ago.
