MP3 Audio CD. Ten Days in a Madhouse CHAPTER I. A DELICATE MISSION. ON the 22d of September I was asked by the World if I could have myself committed to one of the asylums for the insane in New York, with a view to writing a plain and unvarnished narrative of the treatment of the patients therein and the methods of management, etc. Did I think I had the courage to go through such an ordeal as the mission would demand? Could I assume the characteristics of insanity to such a degree that I could pass the doctors, live for a week among the insane without the authorities there finding out that I was only a "chiel amang 'em takin' notes?"

MP3 Audio CD. The book written by the reporter Nellie Bly presents the living conditions in an asylum for mentally ill women, describing the gruesome way the nurses who were supposed to assist the patients in their curing efforts treated them in fact.When the director of The New York World, the publication for which the author worked at the time, granted her the permission to carry out an undercover investigation in a "mad-house", the author had no idea of the terrible experience that she was going to live. Of course, she did not expect the patients of such a facility to be treated as royalties, but what followed left her completely unprepared.In order to be admitted in the asylum, she had to simulate the signs of insanity, so that everyone around her be convinced that she is mentally ill. What came as a surprise was the superficiality of the medical examination and the rapidity in establishing a positive diagnosis of madness. From this point of view, it was not a surprise for the undercover reporter… Leer más
