new asylum

Philomena Guinea paid for Esther to move to the private institution where she would now stay. This institution is completely different from the city institution. It was nice, there were maids and she even had a women doctor. Esther acts completely different at this new institution, I think, because she is treated as if she wasn’t crazy. Doctor Nolan asked Esther about Doctor Gordon. Esther tells her that she didn’t like him because of what he did to her. Doctor Nolan assures Esther that if they ever do something like the shock treatments, that she will feel no pain and will no regret getting them done. Esther new doctor tells her that shock treatments are not meant to be bad like Esther experienced. I think that if she would have stayed in the city institution, she would have really gone crazy. Esther is getting better and even moves from Wymark to Caplan. This is proof that she is getting better being in the new institution. I do not think she would have improved her health if she didn’t switch into the private institution.
