If enyone has a good website on gurneys

thanks,DIB

I looked through some of my old operating/surgery manuals and found that it is a twin bottle apparatous for providing gastrick suction. the two bottles would rotate upside down. the passage of water from the opper to the lower bottle produces suction the patient would be conected to it via the Miller- Abbott tube

old gorneys like thiese are now considered "high art". people slap glass tops on them and call them dining tables,
they sell for thousands fixed up.

I read that when these hospitals where overcrouded they performed autopsys in bath tubs like this one, because the morgues where full..........
shocking right...
