Can you share a particularly disturbing Danvers State Hospital horror story?

A disturbing incident involved a veteran who needed urgent surgery. However, due to some administrative mix - up, the surgery was postponed several times. By the time they finally got around to doing the surgery, the patient's condition had deteriorated significantly, and the recovery process was much more difficult and painful than it should have been. This kind of delay in treatment can be life - threatening in some cases.

Yes. There was a case where a patient was given the wrong medication. The staff was overworked and made a mistake. The patient had an allergic reaction and went into shock. It took a while for the medical team to realize the error and start the correct treatment. Fortunately, the patient survived, but it was a very close call.

One of the more terrifying stories is that of a young patient who was said to be possessed. The staff noticed strange behavior like speaking in tongues and having superhuman strength at times. They tried various treatments but nothing seemed to work. The patient would often have fits during the night, screaming and thrashing about in a way that sent chills down the spines of everyone in the ward. This story was passed around among the staff and other patients, creating an atmosphere of fear and superstition within the hospital.

A common horror story involves the experimental treatments that took place at Danvers State Hospital. Some treatments were not based on proper medical knowledge but rather on the wild ideas of the time. Patients were subjected to electroshock therapies that were often misused, causing more harm than good. The hospital's isolation from the outside world made it a place where these unethical practices could continue without much interference, leaving the patients in a state of constant fear and pain.

One disturbing story is about a patient who was locked in a small, dark room for days without proper food or water. It was a case of extreme neglect. Another is the rumor of patients being used as guinea pigs for untested drugs, which is a very scary thought. These stories show the dark side of what went on there.

I've heard of a story where a group of patients were used for unethical medical experiments. The hospital staff, without proper consent, tested new drugs on them. These drugs had all kinds of unpredictable and harmful effects. The patients suffered greatly, some developing new and more serious mental and physical problems. It was a complete disregard for the patients' rights and well - being.

There was a clique in a high school. They targeted a girl who was a bit different. They would steal her things, scribble mean words on her locker, and laugh at her in the hallways. It got so bad that she started having panic attacks every time she had to go to school.

Sure. A pharmacist once had a patient who was allergic to a certain ingredient in a medication. But the patient didn't know it, and neither did the doctor who prescribed it. The pharmacist, in a rush, didn't double - check the patient's allergy history. When the patient took the drug, they had a severe allergic reaction. Their face swelled up and they had trouble breathing. The pharmacist felt extremely guilty for not being more careful.

Sure. There was a case where a tweaker was so out of it that they dug holes all over their yard at night, thinking they were hiding drugs from imaginary enemies. The next day, the yard was a mess of mounds and pits, and they were still acting crazy, scaring the neighborhood kids who used to play there.

Sure. There was a case where a teen met someone on Myspace who claimed to be a famous music producer. He convinced the teen to meet him in person. When they met, the 'producer' turned out to be a dangerous predator. Fortunately, the teen managed to escape, but it was a terrifying experience.
