Sanatorium (2013)
A found-footage paranormal investigation movie that doesn't really do much new. Instead it just executes the basics of that particular nanogenre extremely well. The setting is creepy and they do a good job building up the tension with some great payoffs. Most importantly, it is overall very restrained with what it does show, instead of just showing something because they can. It's also a bit more graphically violent than other similar movies, which really makes the danger feel a little more real.
7/10

Uncle Steven?
The arbitrary decision making keeps "death sentence" regarding the prospects of a boxing match with Reggie but --
switches "kill" to "hurts". An anachronism for sure, high school boxing -- as too any PE instruction. Then too, escaped gorillas aren't happening much these days either.
Kids today don't know from Gene Autry.
Uncle Steven?
So, the problem comes in that they ret-conned Jughead as Bingo Wilkin's cousin, meaning they both share an uncle Herman. And now they share an Uncle Steven. The would-be inventor of a handful of 1950s Jughead comic book stories who'd get sent to an insane asylum here and there. See a reference to such here.
Curious, though, this allusion to prison made instead.
So. Uncle Herman / Steven thinks he turned Jughead into a gorilla. And -- intoxication not allowed in Archie Comics this century?
Send the call.
Yes. The inmates are running the asylum. Curious both ways, in that the revision -- I guess -- just hints at a desire for wacky stuff around the desk. The propeller beanie makes all the difference. And, revised, the story ends. Not wanting to show the offensive to psychiatric ailments classics.

Florence Nightingale
Dear old Flo (as she would have hated to be called) wasn’t necessarily someone you would want to sit beside at a formal dinner. You’d be trapped forever next to her as she waxed poetic or fierce about the need for nursing to be valued, for health care to be less custodial and more caring. I don’t think she had much of a sense of humour about it, either. Of course, it was the 1800’s, and maybe…

Here we have the Nurse and eventually Secondary Doctor!
Name: Scott Long.
Age: 43.
Pronouns: He/him.
Sexuality: Bisexual.
Appearance: 5 ‘ 10” curly brown hair, grey-brown eye, slightly tan complexion.
Short backstory: Scott is a licensed Nurse, and a Doctor in training. He is from the United States where he worked at a children’s ward at a big hospital. He always has a positive disposition, even when dealing with the most unruly of patients. Scott always knows how to make people laugh with close up magic, things like card tricks and other slight of hand magic. One day however the Head Physician at his hospital was being unreasonably cruel, saying something Scott does not quite remember, because the next thing he remembered was decking his boss. He ended up arrested for his trouble. When he got out things had changed, and he could no longer practice medicine at his hospital. Really any hospital he looked at, didn't want him. So, Scott, decided to move to London to finish his medical degree. He found work at the Sanitorium where Jack was pleased to have him on his staff. Seward also wants Scott to work towards becoming a Doctor. Scott has a daughter back home, a ten year old whom her mother-his ex-wife will not allow him to visit. It doesn’t help she married a police officer as well who deemed him to be violent. (Scott’s not violent, he just doesn't like bullies.) Even the most difficult patients at the Sanitorium find him endearing, one seeming to have imprinted on him. (Scott’s one of the only people he will not bite)
Position at the Sanatorium: Nurse. Eventually becomes the Secondary Physician to Doctor Seward.
Scott truly is the glue that holds the Sanatorium staff together! If you have a question for Scott, feel free to write us a letter or simply tag #ScottQuestion

Anyway putin aside, anyone know where I can get the layouts of some American sanatoriums? I mean the tuberculosis kind, not a euphemism for lunatic asylums
I've found some essays with photos on a search, but like I need the inner details

if they do bring back ives though, it should go like this:
tim: hey ives, it's been a while, how've you been?
ives: well, i survived tuberculosis, so i got that going for me-
