WEBSITES OF NOTE
Kirkbride Buildings | Named after Dr. Thomas Story Kirkbride, a nineteenth-century physician who authored a treatise on hospital design | Kirkbride buildings are most recognizably characterized by their somewhat unique "bat wing" floorplan and their often lavish Victorian-era architecture | The site's author has done some remarkable web architectural design as well | Easy to maneuver | Useful site for anyone researching mental hospitals | FROM a YAHOO Search on Abandonded Mental Hospitals
Psychosurgery.org | We may not wish to remember the horror of lobotomy | But we must | Lobotomy was not a procedure on the fringe of science. It was a mainstream treatment advocated by many highly-educated physicians and prestigious institutions, praised in breathless news articles, and touted as the latest in a long string of amazing neurosurgical advances | Remebering this grim failure in treatment will help keep us clear about other "miracle cures" to avoid | FROM Legacy of Lost Hopes
Dream Anatomy | Based on a U.S. National Library of Medicine Exhibit, the site provides a stunning collection of images created for the study of human anatomy | Some of the images quite grizly, yet strangely beautiful | FROM Kirkbride Building's Links
Newtopia Magazine | While attracted to the site because of a comment about Henry David Thoreau, I stayed | Site blurb: "...a journal of countercultural thought covering a wide-ranging, decentralized network of alternative art, culture, economics, history, politics, social movements & commentary, independent thought, sustainable communities, and radical solutions | FROM Wood's Lot
Mediblogopathy | A nursing student with an outrageous sense of humor treats her readers to experiences while in training | Don't be dissuaded | She's a really good writer | FROM Blog Shares
Fried Dough Around the World | I can't say where this came from; I don't know | Maybe while doing a Google Image search | It was sufficiently esoteric for me to reference it here | Yeah, I know it's a commerical site | It's still quirky enough for me | FROM Source Unknown
Marlon Violette | "Visualist" | Beautiful stuff | I just like the way it looks | The site is simple to navigate | FROM Source Unknown
Trinity College [Australia] Aboriginal Links | The list is current and worth a reviw by people interested in knowing the ancient history of Australia | First place to start? Finding proper terms to use and get away from "aborigine", foitsed on Australia's Real People by British Immigrants | FROM
