"know thyself" seems a disturbing phrase to have there - I could think of many others which would've been more appropriate. Hmmm....strange...

Because people in psych hospitals also deserve sterilized medical instruments like everyone else. Institutions have always been small communities with their own medical facilities on-grounds and the materials you use "inside" should be as good as what is used "outside."

I work in a facility for people with intellectual disabilities and we have a medical hospital unit and an outpatient surgical unit, so we need to have access to sterilized medical equipment (not that autoclaves are used quite as much these days with all the disposable equipment that people use any more). Besides, in psych hospitals and places like where I work, you might (or might not) be surprised at how many falls and cuts and such occur. Between seizures and their sometimes associated injuries, motor coordination issues, self-injurious behavior, and aggression by other clients (the least of the injuries) we have several people in the clinic every day of the year. Therefore you need to have access to surgical instruments so you can stitch someone up quickly if they get a laceration, etc.

Or were you giving us a sly wink and hint about lobotomies from the 50s and 60s? :-)
These are some of the best shots I have seen of this pile of bricks.
