Hospital - Barbara O'Hare

The Sunday Times top ten bestseller... n n n 'Nobody knew what was going on behind those doors. We were human toys. Just a piece of meat for someone to play with.' n n Barbara O'Hare was just 12 when she was admitted to the psychiatric hospital, Aston Hall, in 1971. From a troubled home, she'd hoped she would find sanctuary there. But within hours, Barbara was tied down, drugged with sodium amytal - a truth-telling drug - and then abused by its head physician, Dr Kenneth Milner. n n The terrifying drug experimentation and relentless abuse that lasted throughout her stay damaged her for life. But somehow, Barbara clung on to her inner strength and eventually found herself leading a campaign to demand answers for potentially hundreds of victims. n n A shocking account of how vulnerable children were preyed upon by the doctor entrusted with their care, and why it must never happen again. n
