Medical records is usually a large area and sometimes all of the staff is busy "in the stacks" so the buzzer was probably for people who needed to talk to a person. The hospital I worked in had a bell connected to the door. When ever the door was opened the bell rang. Wouldn't that drive you crazy?

Wow so glad you are back. Missed your postings. But I did discover the forums and the postings of some of the members.
Thanks for the new pictures and commentary.
As others have said hope the bad is gone and life only has good 8in store for you.

Andy I was thinking about Kudzu also. It is the worst. This ivy is kind of pretty and Kudzu is just plain ugly.

This is my favorite shot. The beautiful ivy making inroads where none exist. Great job Motts

Andy you are exactly correct about the time frame for this color in hospitals. We moved from out "old" hospital to the new in 1977 and all of the colors in the new one were bright and "cheerful" Supposedly these colors were based on the latest color research. This is a perfect example about how wrong research can be.

Awesome shot!

The detail on the bottom of the window almost makes the bars appear decorative and non threatening.

Labs keep all kinds of counts most of which deal with the number of tests that are run. Now a days they use numbers to show how the items they buy are used and for reporting to licensing agencies for accreditation. % of accuracy New standard numbers for standard tests. Just a few years ago they changed what is considered a normal blood sugar based on research and lab findings.

That tank in the middle of the door and a couple that were lying around in the first picture of the lab make me nrevous about what is in them. Tanks can hold all kinds of things. If these were dangerous I would like to think someone would have removed them.......silly me it is abandoned. Just one more reason to be extremely careful in buildings like this. Be careful Motts!

I think it is the most secure closure of a door I have seen in many a picture. Sure closes of the area unless you have tools and lots so time. Only makes me more curious about what is in there........

Great pics Merry Christmas and have a safe holiday.

Holes might be floor drains?

Wonder what the wall paneling was made of. Maybe noise deafening ?

Light fixture looks like sputnik. Wonder when it was installed.

So I looked up the russian toy and it's cute. It is the mascot of the russian olympic teams. Available everywhere from Sears to Amazon.com
