Additional Comments: did johnny have to bring lulu to shadybrook? is that the only mental health facility in existence? it would have been more prudent for johnny to take lulu somewhere further away from PC.

I believe sometimes GH characters get sent to Ferncliff (Carly went there). If Laura's in Shadybrook, then that's why LuLu's there.

I doubt that Shadybrook is the ONLY mental health facility in the state, but private institutions would require a lot more guarantees of insurance & ask far more questions.  Most people in our state don't first go to a private facility, they go to one of the public facilities to be evaluated.  Also, most people here wouldn't know of many private mental health facilities.  They WOULD know about the public mental health hospitals that are often in the news & that have reputations throughout the state & region.

  • is shadybrook private? i thought that it was. when i used to work in mental health, most people went through the ER first. i FF a lot of the johnny/lulu scenes, so i wasn't sure of exactly where they were hiding out. were they near PC?//cake
  • Most people DO go through ER treatment first. In our region we have one of the top rated trauma centers that is also a community hospital, w/a very well respected mental health wing. Many people also use the community mental health centers & one of the two state mental hospitals before going to private hospital care. I would think that it would be much easier for them to maintain their 'cover' w/a public facility than a private one. Little things like health insurance & having the ability to pay would be much more of an issue w/a private hospital than a public one. eom
