Patients in the Sleep Room were kept in a drug-induced coma for 21 to 22 hours per day, waking only briefly to eat, use the bathroom, and receive electroshock therapy.

No one at the Allan Memorial Institute wants to walk past the Sleep Room [1] — Carter Roy "The Sleep Room was so feared that patients would press against the opposite wall just to pass it in the hallway. Inside, patients were kept…" 23:00 . Patients press their backs to the opposite wall just to maximise the distance between themselves and those doors. Inside, people are kept in drug-induced comas for 21 to 22 hours a day, woken only to eat, use the bathroom, take more sedatives — and receive electroshock therapy. Cameron uses a specialised technique called Page-Russell, designed by its pioneers for once-a-day maximum use. Cameron administers it two or three times per day, at higher voltage. Then the patient is put back to sleep. Often, psychic driving tapes play while patients are unconscious, so their only waking or sleeping sensory experience is their own distorted voice attacking them. This can go on for up to two months straight. The stated goal is total depatterning: Cameron wants patients to lose all memory of who they are, why they came to the hospital, even their own sense of existing in time and space. In many cases he succeeds — but his patients emerge unable to dress or feed themselves, regressing to infantile behaviour. Families report that their loved ones come home forever changed. Harvey Weinstein, now a psychiatrist and human rights scholar, describes his father returning from the Allan and spending most of his time on the couch, barely able to talk. His father, as he had known him, was simply gone.
Cameron used the Page-Russell electroshock technique — designed for once-daily use at most — two or three times per day on his patients at a higher voltage than intended.
Cameron's depatterning treatment — combining induced coma and electroshock — could last up to two months straight, with psychic driving tapes playing while patients slept.
While conducting his secret experiments, Cameron simultaneously held the presidencies of the American, Quebec, Canadian, and World Psychiatric Associations. The man at the top of every psychiatric institution in the world was also the most dangerous doctor in a Montreal basement.

Drug overdose deaths in the US fell from 110,000 to 80,000 in 2024, and then to roughly 70,000 — the largest single-year drop the CDC has ever recorded.
Men's overdose death rate fell 27% in a single year, outpacing the 23% drop for women.
The steepest decline in overdose deaths was among 15–24-year-olds, whose rate fell 37%.
Fei-Fei Li observed that on a given hospital shift, nurses walk miles just to fetch medicine and supplies, illustrating a clear use case for assistive robotics in healthcare.
