Restaurant Of The Week (4)

A new #restaurant chain has opened up in the UK offering good food and terrible service, so they claim @karensdiner

There is a restaurant, it seems, to suit all tastes and pockets these days, but seeking to make its own particular mark on the British culinary scene is Karen’s Diner, which originated in Australia but has branches in Sheffield and Prestwich, near Manchester. Its speciality, according to its publicity, is providing a certain ambience where the staff are purposely rude and the diners are…

Transform Your Smile with Invisalign at Park Dental in Manchester

In the realm of dental innovation, there's a treatment that's been quietly revolutionizing the way people straighten their teeth: Invisalign. Gone are the days of bulky metal braces; Invisalign offers a discreet and comfortable alternative to achieve a beautifully aligned smile. And if you're in Manchester, UK, there's no better place to experience the benefits of Invisalign than at Park Dental.

At Park Dental, located conveniently in Manchester, they understand the importance of both oral health and aesthetic appeal. Led by a team of highly skilled professionals, Park Dental is committed to providing top-notch dental care using the latest advancements in the field. And when it comes to orthodontic treatment, they proudly offer Invisalign as a leading choice for patients seeking straighter teeth.

One of the key advantages of Invisalign is its virtually invisible nature. Instead of conspicuous metal brackets and wires, Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. This means you can straighten your teeth without drawing unwanted attention to your orthodontic treatment. Whether you're a working professional, a busy parent, or a social butterfly, Invisalign allows you to maintain your confidence throughout the process.

But invisibility is just one of the perks. Invisalign aligners are also removable, giving you the freedom to enjoy your favourite foods without restrictions. Simply take out your aligners before meals, brush and floss as usual, then pop them back in – it's that easy. This removable feature also makes oral hygiene a breeze, as you can clean your teeth thoroughly without navigating around braces.

Furthermore, Invisalign offers unparalleled comfort compared to traditional braces. Crafted from smooth, BPA-free plastic, Invisalign aligners are designed to fit snugly over your teeth without causing irritation to your cheeks or gums. Say goodbye to the discomfort and soreness often associated with metal braces – with Invisalign, you'll hardly even notice you're wearing them.

At Park Dental, the journey to your dream smile begins with a comprehensive consultation. During this initial appointment, their experienced dental professionals will assess your oral health and discuss your treatment goals. If Invisalign is deemed suitable for you, they'll create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.

Using advanced digital technology, Park Dental will take precise impressions of your teeth to design your custom Invisalign aligners. You'll receive a series of aligners, each slightly different from the last, to be worn for about two weeks before progressing to the next set. Throughout your treatment, you'll visit Park Dental periodically to monitor your progress and receive new sets of aligners as needed.

The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case, but many patients start seeing results in as little as a few months. Before you know it, you'll be flaunting a straighter, more confident smile – all thanks to the discreet magic of Invisalign.

So, if you're ready to transform your smile without the hassle of traditional braces, look no further than Park Dental in Manchester. With their expertise in Invisalign treatment and dedication to patient satisfaction, you can trust them to help you achieve the smile you've always wanted.

What were Victorian mental asylums like?

Since we're getting to know Jack Seward, I though it would be useful to find out a bit more about Victorian mental asylums of the kind that he owns.

I'm putting this under a cut for discussion of psychiatric abuse, involuntary hospitalisation, and ableist language in historical documents.

The pre-Victorian context

Pre-Victorian asylums were horrific for the poor. Wealthy patients were accommodated in private asylums that were much like private homes, where patients could bring in their own cooks and go out hunting, but poor patients were treated like animals, sharing beds in outbuildings, and often kept chained up or in straitjackets. Part of the problem was that there was simply a shortage of asylums for the poor, leading to overcrowding. (Source)

But by the early 19th century, reformers like Harriet Martineau and Samuel Tuke argued for better treatment, and especially opposed the use of restraints. Asylums gradually moved from treating patients like prisoners to treating them as people in need of care. In 1829, William Scrivinger, a patient at Lincoln Asylum, died after being left in a straitjacket overnight without supervision, which also acted as a spur to that asylum and others to move away from restraining patients. (Source)

Entry to an asylum

The process of reform continued with the 1853 Lunatic Asylums Act. This laid down the process of admission to asylums.

For private asylums (like Seward's), for someone to be admitted they had to have a medical certificate signed by two medical professionals. In theory, that safeguarded against abuse (i.e. people being sent to asylums for spurious reasons) though in practice, if you were willing to pay for a private asylum for a relative, it was relatively easy to persuade two medical professionals to sign off on admission. Women were sent to asylums more often than men, including for "immoral behaviour" such as having an illegitimate child. (Source)

Ticehurst House, a private asylum for the wealthy

Asylums for the poor required a certificate from a single medical professional as well as an order from "a Justice, a Clergyman, an Overseer, or the Relieving Officer (under the Poor Law)". The law straddled the line between the previous carceral approach (requiring any "Lunatic" "wandering at large" to be apprehended, examined and brought to an asylum if necessary) and a protective approach, with legal requirements to look after anyone who "is cruelly treated or neglected by any Relative or other Person having the Care of Charge of him".

What the law didn't provide was any way for the person being taken to an asylum to overrule the decision. They couldn't appeal for their own release, but could be released if a relative or friend were available to take care of them and prevent them from harming themselves or others. (Source)

Life in an asylum

The ward for female patients in Prestwich Asylum, near Manchester

Patients were kept strictly segregated by sex. It was typical to have 10 patients to every member of staff. During the day, patients were often encouraged to work, the men in farms on the grounds (which also helped asylums save money as they could grow their own food) and the women in laundry, cooking or sewing. In the evenings there would be plays, concerts and parties. (Source 1, Source 2)

This was grounded in the principles of "moral therapy", which aimed to teach patients how to fit in and be productive members of society. That sounds a bit grim, but its aim was to be gentle and humane with patients, and to help them live well outside of the asylum. (Source)

When Seward says:

I seemed to wish to keep him to the point of his madness—a thing which I avoid with the patients as I would the mouth of hell.

... this is probably a reference to the principles of moral therapy. Seward's role is to guide patients away from unwanted behaviour, which is why pushing Renfield to "the point of his madness" would normally be antithetical to Seward's treatment approach.

Other treatment varied. Some treatment was ineffective but harmless (e.g. warm baths for patients with depression), but other treatment was more extensive and actively unpleasant or even dangerous (e.g. "cold water therapy": pouring cold water over agitated patients until they calmed down).

[EDIT: I realise from some of the tags that I've given the wrong impression about this. It could be like being given a short cold shower... or it could be people having water poured over them for hours, or being ducked in a pond until they nearly passed out.]

There were very few drug treatments except sedatives, and some of the worst historical psychiatric treatments, like electroconvulsive therapy and lobotomies, weren't introduced until the 20th century. (Source)

By the end of the century, though, the improvements made by early reformers were going into reverse. Restraints and padded cells made a return, especially for poorer patients, and government-funded asylums faced overcrowding and could no longer provide careful, personalised care. (Source)

Modern-day equivalents

Holme Wood, a former asylum that's now an old people's home

I might be off base on this, but reading about Victorian asylums reminded me of nothing so much as modern-day old people's homes, at least in the UK.

They're intended for the care of a group of people who are often marginalised.

They're often in grand old buildings - in some cases, the same grand old buildings, like the one above.

If you're wealthy, they offer a high standard of care that's similar to your life not in the asylum/home.

Poorer people end up in state-funded care that most people agree fall short of the ideal.

Being able to leave the institution can be tricky, and often depends on having supportive friends or family members.

There are regular scandals in which patients are treated appallingly.

But the provision of care for the elderly/mentally ill is known to be a large, intractable problem; pretty much everyone in our society thinks we should do better but figuring out how to achieve that isn't easy.

I don't know how useful a perspective this is? But it feels illuminating to me, particularly in terms of how the care of people in asylums might have been perceived in wider society. If I were producing a modern-day Dracula AU, I think putting Jack in charge of a care home could give the same impression to a modern audience as an asylum would to a Victorian one.
