Doctors with no drawers, Huh? Soundslike a fun university to attend.

THE CURTAIN AND SNOW ARE A BONUS TO AN ALREADY CLASSIC PIC.

IT CAN BE SAVED, TWUG. AND WHAT A GREAT CHALLENGE AND HONOR IT WOULD BE TO WORK ON IT; I'M IN THE CONSTRUCTION FIELD.

I acutally stood in there, it's really decayed., I had to crawl under part of the coutner to get in..Excellent photo ^_^

That looks just like the old gym we used in school, minus the bleachers. Amazing!

The hole's too far back to be useful for incontinence. It's possibly a comfort feature, similar to wheelchair cushions, to avoid pressure on the tailbone.

Lynne, dahling. You are a constant source of interesting information. Thanks for the interesting stuff!!!!

The "mortuary rack" holds up to 30 bodies:

This is interesting. It is the old morgue from Detroit's Wayne County. The pic at the bottom shows a HUGE morgue - says they had space for 186 bodies!

"I think that since this was more of a university morgue (for studying doctors) they may not have had drawers."

=8-o

This was a morgue where they studied doctors that may not have had drawers!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Hmmm...I suppose I will think twice about eating pizza now. That reminds me, the pizza ovens at my high school did kinda look like that, and the manufacturer's name was Blodgett - I never found that name too appealing for some reason. I'm trying to remember the morgue I went to, I can't remember the drawers but I know they had a lot of gurnee-like table things with bodies on them...I bet in some cases they used those for the more portly bodies. As gross and insensitive as this sounds, I did notice that one of the bodies under a sheet on the cart was more portly. I think that since this was more of a university morgue (for studying doctors) they may not have had drawers.

'Snows,

Don't you mean "you are one of the few people to have ever made it down that ward. . . and come back alive to tell the tale"? ;-)

Ah-HA! I got it! ;-)

It's not a store, it's a supply area. When you have several thousand people who live in one place you need to have an area to go to replenish your "essential" supplies, especially on evenings, weekends, and holidays, which is when you ALWAYS seem to run out of things. Because the supply departments are "irregular" in most institutions, we have always been (inadvertently) reinforced for hoarding supplies.

I did a safety inspection of one of my living areas last week where there are currently 14 people living. I found over 150 towels and washcloths, 100 fitted sheets, 150 regular sheets, 85 pillowcases, 45 blankets, 8 extra pillows, 3 large cardboard boxes of paper drinking cups, 1 huge cardboard box of plastic cutlery (probably 1000 items in it), 7 boxes of latex gloves (in three different sizes), 5 bags of disposable safety razors, 6 large boxes of Depends, and 12 boxes of personal wipes. Don't ask me how many bottles of Kutol soap and hand sanitizer there were because I can't count that high without taking off my shoes and socks.

Staff are smart. They know that next week when they order there will somehow be a shortage at the warehouse and they'll not receive their regular supplies, so they stock up. I do enjoy the fact that they want to make sure they have all the supplies that are needed to keep their folks clean and comfortable, but it's a damn shame we can't get the warehouse to get items where they need to be on a more consistent basis.

That's all this is - an area where you keep extra supplies for when they are needed.

I stayed in a hotel that had a lobby just like this, I believe it was somewhere in Florida.

Great photos, thanks for sharing!
