Talk:Florida State Hospital

"People seem to disappear"...
Removed the pretty heavy statement that "People seem to disappear in the hospital." Just on a whim I decided that the citation would be an interesting news story to read. It turned out it didn't support that statement at all! The cite was: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D0CE7DE1339F930A35751C0A967958260&sec=health&spon=&pagewanted=print

Also, I removed the description of the movie referenced. This isn't an article about that movie, and that movie wasn't a documentary. --joeOnSunset (talk) 07:25, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Notoriety
The statement that the hospital has been the subject of "numerous investigations over the years" for the mistreatment of patients has three sources, none of which supported the statement. Two were simply gone, having been hosted on such reliable sources as AOL Hometown. The last doesn't mention an investigation. I don't doubt that the hospital has been investigation (it's been around awhile, and even a reputable, private, non-mental hospital would have seen investigations.) So I've left the statement, but removed the bad references. They were:

(Yeah, on AOL Hometown. Okay. Now missing anyway.)

(Missing.)

(Doesn't support.)

Chris Calhoun
I know that more direct references to Chattahoochee_(film) have been removed from this article, but it is worth linking to Chris Calhoun, the former Florida State Hospital patient who inspired the film? A series articles in the Tampa Tribune based on letters written during his stay there were largely responsible for investigations of patient abuse (one of the broken links removed by joeOnSunset). I've found an article from the Orlando Sentinel detailing these events. Does anyone have access to Tampa Tribune archives so it can be properly sourced (online archives only date back to 1995)?
