What a great film location this would make.

That floor may be as old as the 17th century. Hand set tiles, probably made specifically for this place.

Motts. Rosetta Stone is worth a shot if you want to learn more. Expensive, yes, but worth the money.

The floor looks really old, perhaps some leftover from the times of the convent?

Well translated Anais.

@ Ferdy--No, it's not lost, just not as common as it once was. There are stone sculptors in Italy and Greece today, they are getting older and have but few apprentices to learn the craft. (If it cannot be done by a robot and a computer, very few young people would take the time to learn something so labor intensive. :-(

The handiwork of Italian limners--plasterers.

I owned a Yugo in 1993. Not the worse car I ever owned. Spent a lot of weekends at salvage yards looking for parts. I doubled the value every time I filled the gas tank.

Yup its a stationary TENS unit (I had a stationary one with 6 outputs!!) I use a portable one that has four outputs (8 electrodes) in conjunction with Opiates to control chronic pain. TENS works by overstimulating the nerves in that specific area which overrides the sensation of pain. Mine can also be used for muscle stimulation too.

I have my mother dispense my narcotics because its easy to increase your tolerance by taking too much when you are in pain, then the medications become less effective.

Larry D: Big Al is correct, its a fuse box (the old equivalent of a circuit breaker panel), there was a picture of a telephone junction box in this hospital too.

I remember looking through the little windows in the doors to the different ORs in John Hopkins while traveling to one of them to get my spinal tap (which was supposed to help alleviate my chronic pain thus reducing my dose of narcotics [oxycodone], but ended up making me have a horrible migraine for the next two weeks and didn't help with my pain), it was a bit eerie passing rooms where people were cut open having surgeries...

My mom (who works as a nurse) was pissed off about the fact that when I came out of surgery (I forget whether it was the open heart surgery or spinal fusion with hardware surgery) I was 4-way restrained. They said it was because they didn't want me to pull the ventilator tube out.

Like the doors in Northampton(?) I think, but they had metal hoods with slits over the glass there.

Appears to be an IV drip. Their would have been a metal band around the top to allow it to be hung on an IV pole.
