First Rosenhan sent a number of healthy pseudo patients to 12 different mental institutes undercover. They were told to tell the hospital that they were hearing voices in their head and otherwise act normal. All pseudo patients were taken in by the mental institutes. To the pseudo patients surprise when they claimed that they were ‘normal’ no one believed them and therefore they had to stay in the institute until they had been cured. Later when they got out and the media got to know about the events the public was outraged.
The family was walking their way back home until things took a sudden brutal turn. A cone in one hand and teddy bear in other, she witnessed the entire tragic incident, from her mother being stabbed to death to her father get shot and bleeding unconscious. Although three was an age way too young to remember, and even to this day she would often have nightmares, horrifyingly waking her up from deep sleep, they were too hazy or imperceptible to remember the faces, unfortunately even of her parents.
eWinterbourne View was a hospital in Bristol that treated people with leaning difficulties and autism. Terry Bryan , a 35 year experienced nurse turned to the BBC Panorama programme after his complaints to the management and The CQC were ignored. An undercover reporter took a job there as a support worker, first he had training to show him how to reduce the chance of them getting violent and posing a risk to themselves. The message was all other options should be explored before resorting to holding someone down. During the reporters first days there he found that some of the staff ,as a first resort restrained the patients.
In the current day and age, people rarely pick up a book before they fall asleep, and most people probably could not explain what Aldous Huxley wrote. The way of life in Bradbury’s dystopia was to employ firemen to burn intelligence and promote mass ignorance in an act to create an equilibrium of knowledge. Montag’s wife, who was hospitalized after their house was bombed, was scrutinized by robots and robot-like humans to extract every bit of knowledge (human blood) inside of Mildred and replace it with mechanically administered blood. (Bradbury 17). This act showed society’s need for ignorance and a “don’t ask questions, that’s just the way it is” type of system.
That forced a few changes in Brett’s behavior and lifestyle but in the end nothing prevailed. This next text I am about to speak about is also a very good example of institutions, where as the “prison farm” I spoke of earlier this text which is named “One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest” Directed by Milos Forman in 1975 is about a mental hospital but the man sent there ( Jack Nicholson ) finds the head nurse a lot more dangerous than the inmates themselves. Randle Patrick McMurphy ( Jack Nicholson ) thinks he can get out of doing work while in prison by pretending to be mad. His plans are rapidly backfired when he is sent a “mental asylum”. He tries to liven the place up on his arrival by playing card games and playing basketball with his fellow inmates, but the head nurse is after him at every turn.
Near the beginning of the film where she is just a naïve child who is in fear of Boo, she has heard that he is a ‘A malevolent phantom’ who is ‘chained to the bed’ as well as many other nasty rumours about him. Scout, Dil and Jem often run past his house to tease him. But when gifts start appearing for Boo Scout starts to stop believing that he is a horrible monster but just a nice man. Her most important experience that leads her to an understanding about prejudice and the world was her ‘longest night’ which began as they left the school hall to go home with Scout still in her ham suit. They began to sense that someone was following them.
As soon as he got kidnapped, he knew his life was not going to be the same again. Soon the siblings got separated away from each other. “She was torn from me and immediately carried away, while I was left in a state of distraction not to be described. I cried and grieved continually, and for several days I did not eat anything but what they forced into my mouth” (54). He now knew and was hoping to be delivered to a house.
Some of the slums residents lack any type of shelter and are forced to sleep outside, rats commonly bite people while they try to sleep, and barely a handful of the 3,000 residents of the slum are lucky enough to have full time employment. The conditions caused by the poverty in this slum were so harsh that Abdul, a kid who has to support a family of 11, and other residents are forced to turn to buying and selling the things that the richer people, from the nearby airport and hotels, throw away in means of
Dr. Jack Kevorkian gained world attention by assisting in several suicides to dying patients; he was sentenced to over 60 years for his efforts, despite the gratitude of the patients and their families. Among the opponents are some physicians who believe it violates the fundamental tenet of medicine and believe that doctors should not assist in suicides because to do so is incompatible with the doctor’s role as a healer. It would violate doctors Hippocratic Oath, upon receiving a medical degree, each doctor is required to take a Hippocratic Oath, which states among other things, “first to do no harm.” ( Nitschke, 2001 ) Assisting in suicide would be a violation of that oath, and it would lead to a weaking of doctor’s patient’s trust. The oath was created in part so patients could be reassured that doctors only wanted to help them, not hurt them. A weaking of that oath may cause patients to wonder.
Not just rebuilding everything, but the mental recovery for everyone who was directly affected. Whether you lost a loved one, a pet, or your house, it was hard for the entire town. For months after the storm, horrible nightmares would wake me up at night, but waking up to realize that it was not happening again, and it was just a dream is just a part of the my recovery process. My family signed up for disaster relief with FEMA. Well it turns out at FEMA is a joke.
