Nice to see your post Stax.. I think the Halcyon groupies including myself are fearful we will log in one day and Halcyon will be gone. We all know it will eventually happen. We realize it is much to late to save the old mansion. The architecture is compelling. Most will feel kind of cheated if we log in one day, and discover Halcyon is gone under the cover of winter when most are preoccupied with day to day issues. Stax, take care man.

This looks like a device that I last saw in the '70's. When intensive care units were first being set up the training that a nurse had to have to work in one was not mandated. Nurses started off learning to pattern read for problems with patients on heart monitors. Then more and more detail was taught. If you had a problem interpreting a strip of EKG tape this device allowed the information to be sent to another hospital usually one with a larger ICU/CCU with the hopes a nurse or Doctor there would look at it for you. As nurses were better trained these devices were phased out. The information went through the telephone line before Fax's were ever in common use. Patients still use some of this technology to send a weekly/monthly strip to their cardiologist for interpretation. All part of monitoring the care of a patient with a cardiac problem. I still don't understand how it all works. LOL

I think the Thixx product was used to thicken liquids so folks with swallowing problems could swallow without choking.

Used for patients having seizures. The idea was to put the block between the teeth so the patient could not bite down on their tongue. The wrapper on this one indicates it is for use during shock therapy which often causes seizures. If a patient with a seizure disorder was admittedd one of these was taped on the headboard or near the bed for ease of finding it in an emergency.
