10 Days in a Madhouse by Nellie Bly

dark informative sad tense medium-paced

5.0

The realities of the US healthcare system are grim; it was grim in the 1880s, and we still have a lot of work to do. Nellie Bly's expose highlights the many issues and stigma associated with mental illness and how we (still, let's be honest) treat those who have mental illness. Medical abuse, medical trauma, and failure to believe or understand patients is a huge weakness that still majorly exists today.
