When Joey Ramone was eighteen, he checked himself into St. Vincent's Hospital. The diagnosis was obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), and he felt there were voices that made him repeat things. As Mark Leigh (Joey's brother) put it: "The doctors said...it would render him useless to function in society for the rest of his life."
Hey Ho, Let's GO. Hey Ho, Let's GO.
St. Vincent's Hospital closed on April 30, 2010, after being open for 160 years.
