I bet the mirror is so they can look outside. gads..how awfull that must have been

oh god, I think I just figured it out.
mouth to mouth, or some sort of bellows.

ewwwwww

ok that answers how they reached in, but when they reached in. how did the patient keep breathing? where there something like really stiff gloves inside these holes? If the patient was very heavy it would take alot. of suction to get air into the lungs. Heck you might even end up with a whole body hicky..
that is just way to awful to even think about.

just think of not being able to breath, the buzz of the pump. the sucking feeling on your body. the hope that air will enter your lungs. the pause, the suction lets off.
your hungry, you have to go to the bath room. the buzz of the pump. the next breath. 24 hours a day. the bed changes, the baths, the buzz of the pump and the next welcome breath.
your chapped neck. your sore body. you can move, you can fight. the buzz of the pump and that next breath.. you try to scream and all that comes out is a soft moan. Your body wasting away. laying in your own filth. the buzz.... I have no idea of how they cleaned up the patient. how they must have had to talk to them to stave off insanity. Being a nurse on one of those wards would be so hard. you would have to give 110 percent or get hard, very cold and hard to just work there. wow, I think I might cry.
I just can't imagine.

sorry that Picture is so awsome I fell into it. I can actually feel what it might be like to lay in it, as a nurse to take care of some one that is laying in it..

brovo.. mr motts. as a nurse there is not much that jumps out and grabs my soul like that just did.

ever seen a buffalo up close?
they are huge, the rifle shot would not keep it from crushing them, in it's last moments. We have alot of people killed in custer state park. Some people try to pet the things like they are tame and in a zoo or something.

been there, saying good by to everything.
shows what is really important to you.

scary, I can see gas comeing out.. of something like that.

beyond here there be monsters.
comes to mind.

your site is the best, I wish that we had stuff like this here in south dakota.
awsome.
