That's One Way of Doing It

"During stress, patient is strapped in a suspended armchair and whirled rapidly, after which a normal patient would be dizzy but a psychotic will not." Really?

Life Magazine did a series of photos at Kirkbride Mental Hospital in Worcester, MA. You can read more about Kirkbride at this great site and see more of these sick pix here.

Doesn't this look like that scene in Casino Royale where Daniel Craig got his nuts smacked in a special nut-smacking chair? I'm very fond of that scene.

What's that mean for those of us who are already dizzy without being spun in a chair?
