Ten Days in a Mad-House by Nellie Bly, Brad Ricca, Courtney Sieh
5.0
Modern medicine is such a scam. While I understand that this is a true story of a reporters findings the idea that people (women especially) were forced to live like this, it's simply horrifying.
The continued disbelief that doctors-male ones specifically- have of their patients problems, concerns etc is wild to me. It's still a problem today.
The poor care that those who are place in facilities is appalling. I remember vividly being told by a patron from a library I used to work at that they (the workers of the nursing home he was in) came and threw away his papers. I'd had others tell me that they turned the internet off on them as punishment. The abuse of people in the system is disgusting. And this book highlights that it's always been a problem.
