Governor Craig and Drs. Morgan and Groesbeck went through Indiana's mental hospitals like ferrets through a rabbit warren. At Indianapolis' Central State Hospital, an ancient, overcrowded firetrap within sight of the Statehouse, they found the men's infirmary as bad as any storied bedlam. The 55 patients were nearly all incontinent, and spent day and night lying naked on their beds in their own excrement. "Meals" consisted of cold slop, eaten with a spoon. None ever left the "infirmary" except to go to the morgue...
Spend More! At the urging of Dr. Morgan, Indiana's executive and legislature have adopted the policy that the best is the cheapest in the long run. For the present, the state's mental hospitals pride themselves not on how much money they can save but on how much they can spend -as an index to their efforts in treating, and perhaps curing, their patients so that they can be sent home and cease to be a charge to the state...
...little more than a year, Dr. Morgan's department has added 28 doctors, 31 social workers, 51 nurses and 560 attendants to its payroll. Ideally, says Dr. Morgan, Indiana should hire 150 M.D.s and 1,595 registered nurses, but there is not that much trained personnel for hire in all the U.S. The cost of patient care is up to $2.86 a day (still well below Kansas' $5.85 and California's $3.53) and should...
...that, holds Dr. Morgan, will be sound economy. Under the old system of hopeless "custodial care," the average stay in a state hospital was more than twelve years; nowadays that would cost $13,152. By intensive treatment, the average stay has already been cut to less than ten years. And at the new Larue D. Carter Memorial Hospital in Indianapolis, where patients play shuffleboard or work off their aggressive impulses on a punching bag (which has to be replaced once a month), the average patient's stay is only 85 days and costs about $1,275. The explanation: Carter...
...million worth of pounds into dollars to provide the equity capital for his new plant. He argued that within 15 years all the dollars would be paid back in the form of dividends to the British parent. Then, from a group of U.S. insurance companies and banks (led by Morgan Stanley and J. P. Morgan & Co.), Bowater was able to borrow $45 million to provide the rest of the financing. They were willing to lend the money only because of another Bowater feat. He had signed a contract with more than 100 Southern publishers, under which they agreed...
