An example of socialized medicine, at its extreme.

Is it, though? I am strongly opposed to government-run health plans, but was Britain practicing socialized medicine in 1937 when the girl was institutionalized? This seems more like an example of the sort of abuse doctors can commit when not subject to a system of oversight and checks and balances. Here's an example in the US from 1960 of such abuse, in which a 12 year old boy was lobotomized and institutionalized at the behest of his step-mother.

two people took me to task for my comments. I obviously was wrong just said the first thing that came to mind.
I was always told “Think before you speak” lol, guess I better go back to that lesson.
