Well, I gotta tell you, I've used tubs just like this at PT here where I work, you don't have to sit in the tubs necessarily, I was getting therapy for my leg and I just sat on a table beside the machine with my leg in it, and honestagawd, it looked exactly like this machine.

When I was a youngster, I used to take jazz baton lessons, and the building that the studio was in was very old and had creepy locked rooms. Sitting in the back of the entryway into the building, was an iron lung. My mom was the one who told me what the machine was and what it was used for. As I look back on it, I could never understand where that huge machine came from and why it was just shoved into the entry hallway of that old building.

Dewey, it's a BLOOD bank refrigerator, one would store units of blood there (hence the labels) If it was a while back, maybe the units of blood were in glass bottles, I'm uncertain, althought the slots look like they were for holding plastic bags (units) of blood like we administer today.

Hoods are also used in pharmacies for mixing toxic (chemotherapy type toxic) and other types of meds that shouldn't be exposed to the air or accidentally sniffed into one's nose. This is a cool shot of a nice lab area, for sure. My college's should've been this nice.

The jugs look like the bottles one can get a wonderful microbrew ale in from the nearby RenFaire. (And, they're refillable!)

Ah, I must say I how much I've laughed during these comments. Lynne and Charisma, you've missed your true calling as comedy writers....

Amazing, ironing sheets....

I hate to say it, but I still have the ELO album, bought it new way back in the day, I counted my vinyl the other day and I have 180 albums! (Not to mention the 2 stack containers of 45's) Oh yeah, great shot....

I believe it's rust...

Jeez, Grant and Jason would love that sink!

Jmac, nice shots.

Bob, go back to that picture and READ what it was, think about it, how could REAL blood be there from all those years ago???

Hmmm....lemme see, I'm pretty sure it was FOOD, probably the institutional kind, sort of like we get at the hospital where I work every day, overcooked veges, mystery meat, etc, but I'm sure it came from a freezer and then went into the oven. Cripes.

Sad to see the levels to which the posts have sunk.

We still have chairs like that in a storage area at our hospital.
