The Kirkbridge Legacy by Phillip Watson Pdf

Miles was pacing the hospital corridor, white faced and strained. Prince bought three coffees from a vending machine taking a gulp out of one. He poured a liberal quantity of brandy into the cup, and gave it to Miles, who drank it oblivious of the flavour. Teetotal Prince kept drinks in his caravan for such occasions; whilst safety was improving by leaps and bounds, motorsport was cruel; serious, sometimes fatal accidents still occurred, mistakes, driver error, mechanical failure, possible causes. Shepherd told Prince, Kens lost both legs below the knee. Turning, Jeff said, Im sorry Miles, how is he otherwise? Theyre keeping him sedated to minimise the shock; its not life threatening. He wont accept life in a wheelchair. Miles; Ken has the character to adjust to anything. He may need a wheelchair for a while, but modern prosthetic legs are excellent, you or he can afford the best. Hell walk. We must encourage him. The surgeon faxed a chap in Switzerland; hes flying here as we speak. Theyll discuss options on his arrival. Because its Ken, Im squeamish; Ive given him carte blanche to sort it. I can understand that. By the way champ, congratulations, he said shaking his hand. Thanks, it feels hollow. Ken should have won that race, and his first championship. We both know, if he couldnt be champion, theres no-one other than you he would rather see champion. Turning to Shepherd, Have we determined the cause? Shepherd acquainted him of their conversation. The experimental frame was nowhere to be found. Miles paled further, and Jeff forced a quantity of brandy into him, whilst he digested the information. After a short period of thought, he told them he would have someone find the cause; because of Kens accident, and Jeffs departure to race cars, he wouldnt run a team next year. Five years would elapse before Miles returned.

Asylum by Christopher Payne Pdf

Powerful photographs of the grand exteriors and crumbling interiors of America's abandoned state mental hospitals. For more than half the nation's history, vast mental hospitals were a prominent feature of the American landscape. From the mid-nineteenth century to the early twentieth, over 250 institutions for the insane were built throughout the United States; by 1948, they housed more than a half million patients. The blueprint for these hospitals was set by Pennsylvania hospital superintendant Thomas Story Kirkbride: a central administration building flanked symmetrically by pavilions and surrounded by lavish grounds with pastoral vistas. Kirkbride and others believed that well-designed buildings and grounds, a peaceful environment, a regimen of fresh air, and places for work, exercise, and cultural activities would heal mental illness. But in the second half of the twentieth century, after the introduction of psychotropic drugs and policy shifts toward community-based care, patient populations declined dramatically, leaving many of these beautiful, massive buildings—and the patients who lived in them—neglected and abandoned. Architect and photographer Christopher Payne spent six years documenting the decay of state mental hospitals like these, visiting seventy institutions in thirty states. Through his lens we see splendid, palatial exteriors (some designed by such prominent architects as H. H. Richardson and Samuel Sloan) and crumbling interiors—chairs stacked against walls with peeling paint in a grand hallway; brightly colored toothbrushes still hanging on a rack; stacks of suitcases, never packed for the trip home. Accompanying Payne's striking and powerful photographs is an essay by Oliver Sacks (who described his own experience working at a state mental hospital in his book Awakenings). Sacks pays tribute to Payne's photographs and to the lives once lived in these places, “where one could be both mad and safe.”
