As a nursing student at Mobile Infirmary Hospital, I spent 4 months here training. I was in another world, one that I couldn't have imagined otherwise through words alone. My assigned patients are vividly in my memories as are many others I witnessed trapped inside their dysfunctional brain. Amazingly, it was well organized and as clean as "whitewash paint" could have made it appear. Locked inside was a fearful experience. More than learning what was needed to excel on the National Board of Nursing exam, I needed to learn what I had to do to avoid ever finding myself in an incarceration of this magnitude, an incarceration of all human senses. To be surrounded by total insanity shakes core foundations. There was no way out except through death's door for many I witnessed. "Good days" for one of my patients was the ability to function well enough mentally to be allowed to join other patients in an old building matching bolts to nuts taken from a big pile of all sizes of nuts and bolts. Before "incident reports" became a legal priority, the accounts of injured nursing staff was hearsay. I had no skills, nor developed any skills to help them or others who suffered from the unstable voices in their heads. In my 38 year career as an RN, I have never worked in a psychiatric facility after spending 4 months in this environment. I learned to protect myself first, administer prescribed medications, and protect patients from each other by calling for help in the form of muscular strength or an injection of some type of prescribed "medicinal straight jacket". If there are ghosts of tormented souls, they'd be easily found in this place and it's long history of torment in locale and inhabitants.
Nice Keith!! It's a shame that they left it going to waste like that. Great time wish you would have came down to the other one. See ya down the road sir.

Thanks for the tour, Keith. Too bad the cop had to tell y'all to leave.
Couldn't have been nicer about it. Security was a bit different. Great time all the same.
@@DDsAerialViews The cop did seem really cool. 👍
I hunt behind it
What a waste.
