The lighting on the wooden door looks like it leads to another dimension.

Looks like asbestos tile..?

New gallery...thank you Motts!

Thank you for another excellent gallery!

This is really something else...

I really like this one!

was this in the room with the handprints? and was this a children's hospital?

I graduated from Eden Hall in 1961. For five years (except Sunday's when we went to St. Katherine's) I was there every morning. My brother served as an altar boy at my graduation. If you would like to find out more about Eden Hall and the Sacred Heart order of Nuns you should read "Changing Habits" a book by one of the students who attended the school. I didn't appreciate the school until many years later. But the chapel was always magical. The kneelers were brutal on the knees!!!!

the trailer is soo good and the pics are great I get there in Oct and the foliage is still blocking most of the view even closer to fence.We appreciate the hours of effort put in it

Holy cow, there are no stairs! Watch that first step.

Those are "old" IV bottles which were replaced with bags. You can see the metal bale around the base that the hanging loop is connected to. Not sure why this type of bottle would be in a lab. It was usually in central supply and placed directly on the unit as stock or sent to pharmacy so any additives could be added under sterile conditions. The most common IV solutions of the day were normal saline ( same as the body's normal salt solution) D5W which is 5% dextrose (sugar) and water. There were also electrolyte solutions used such as Lactated Ringers. Not very exciting. They got additives like vitamins.

Or very heavy psych meds that "knock" people out. Most of the hallways in hospitals are wide for ease of moving beds.

Sorry to be so wordy.

In the old days when I first started nursing every medication given to patients was documented on a "med card" a business size card that gave the med. dosage, route of administration, patient name and location, as well as the times that they were to be given. Treatments were also listed on cards. They were stored in a cardex which was basically a flip file about 15 inches wide and 10 inches tall. Each patient had a main card that gave activity orders and diet orders. The small cards were tucked into the front of the main card. Can't explain the holder exactly, but it was hard clear plastic with corner holders for the large cards and a channel that the small cards fit into. The medication cards were in a seperate cardex file. My guess is that in this institution the med cards were placed in this holder in the corresponding slot. So you would find a 7AM med card in the 7AM slot etc. The PRN's (as needed) were in their own slot. It worked well for us in the early 70's, but the computer systems of today are probably much safer. The last 30 years of my nursing career I worked in speciality areas where patient's needs and orders were not routine. (ER, endoscopy, visiting nurse) So I really have no way to assess the safety/effectiveness of today's systems.

Amazing shot. You always seem to know exactly what will be the most amazing picture. Well done Claudia
