i'm saddened to hear the chandelier is gone. but setting aside the thievery. i hope it has a good home.

i think they expected you to byos...
bring your own snack!
wasn't there a scene in "coma" where two people where working in autopsy room on a body & one guy was eating a huge sandwich?!?

this is very bizarre! i don't believe i've seen this kind of thing before.
kind of like a collage of.... stuff?!?

wow. this is a sad image. while i don't believe in taking anything from these places, i'm afraid i would find this little one very difficult to leave behind......

with the seats over the delivery room & this image, one would think this was perhaps a teaching facility?

could be used to suction out gastric contents.....

reminds me of the shot from the sub that dove to titanic, the shot of the doll's head, on the ocean floor 12000 ft. down in the debris field....

wasn't there really an anti-smoking comercial back in the late 60s-early 70s that showed someone smoking in an iron lung?

actually, a cassette holds the film. the bucky is the tray under the table slab to put the cassette in. it slides up & down the table. a phototimer is a device that "chooses" the amount of xray used to make the exposure, if it isn't set manually on the panel board by the tech.

i began x-ray school in late 1977. we had old equipment but none that was quite this old. the extending metal arm w/the cables to the left that end w/a metal disc mounted on what looks like a cone-shape- that device on the end is the x-ray tube itself. the vertical square beam coming from behind &over the top of the box is how you move the tube up & down. it probably also rotates. the knobs you see are how you set the machine. i think this is an old portable machine, probably from the 60s.
those things were hell to push!!

thank you, johnny mac, for posting what must be the thoughts of many caregivers in all aspects of health care.
