The hospital : how I survived the secret child experiments at Aston Hall / Barbara O'Hare with Veronica Clark. - London : Blink, [2017]. - 344 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 20 cm.

Barbara O'Hare was admitted to Aston Hall hospital in Derbyshire when she was just 12-years-old. From a troubled home, Barbara hoped the hospital would offer her protection from all that was wrong with the world - instead, she was tied down and administered sodium amytal, a barbiturate derivative, noted for its sedative/hypnotic properties. 'The Hospital' is Barbara's chilling account of the appalling abuses carried out at Aston Hall in the 1960s and 70s.
