[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 130448, member: 84"] Oh, I definately agree. I'm not saying that necessarily the way state run hospitals were run before was all that fantastic. (would depend on the hospital) The system / laws needed revamped, not the hospitals shut down. The need for such hospitals again is huge. But most professionals / lawmakers seem to choose to ignore because they're afraid of getting blasted for speaking up. Any system can be abused. But it doesn't subtract from the need. And my grandmother was a woman who found herself committed by her husband via the court because she'd threatened to leave him. Took her a year to be declared sane, and she kept that certificate of "sanity" til the day she died some 50 yrs later. (by the way, she left him right after she got out lol) [/QUOTE]
