Im thinking that at the time these buildings where built, they used what they thought *appropriate* at the time. It all had to start somewhere . Think about it, if you where working with patients that where deemed criminally insane, you would need some kind of protection between yourself and the clients you where taking care of. And since like Lynn said, this was the days before plexi-glass..........so its going to be mesh.............TAA DAA.....my deep thought for today........ 8-)

Some of the nursing homes I worked in didnt have bathrooms in the patients rooms either. It was extremely fun trying to carry a steaming bedpan down the hallway and not spill it on yourself. ;-~

Is that paper all piled up like that?

Can you imagine having a room that was only as wide as the bed.........I cant.......or is this just a clever illusion Motts?

Not only are the caged rooms offsetting, but the green makes everything look so dark and morbid.

reminds me of a zoo with all the caged doors.

It looks "familar" to me for some reason, but it is very impressive

I love the lighting coming down the back of the stairwell.

Thats exactly what I was thinking too Twug.

I love the marble.

I loved the introduction story, just as good as any adventure book.

WHY would you need a toaster in your office?

so you could eat toast.........HELLO

Motts, I really liked your pictures on your "about" page. Especially the one where your looking through the hole in the glass, cool beans.

no Neo , Ive never seen an endoscope, and Ive never seen an endoscopy performed. Are you offering to show me?? :-)

With a pneumothorax we generally make patients get up and walk four times a day. You run a very high risk of developing pneumonia. Sorry you had to have stinky pits. The nurses must have been busy eating popcorn and gossiping at the nurses station 8-)
