I guess i will add that "repositioning" a trauma victim helps clear lung secrections and prevents pneumonia. As Lynne posted so much in the past prescription drugs helped many psych patients return home or to monitored bungalow living. For you younger folks war time often leads the way to medical advancement. Unforturnately you have a consitent healthy base of mostly healthy adults. WWII, brought us penicillin and led to modern antibiotics. During the Vietnam years we learned the granddaddy of modern burn care. The middle eastern conflicts have brought about modern care for CHI ( closed head injury). SAD to post but very true.
Guys Stryker bed frames were often found in "modern burn care centers", I have not finished the gallery but we might see a "circolectric yet".. Mostly these beds have been replaced by modern "alternating pressure pads. On the stryker there was a hole on the top side so the patient could use the bedpan. Of course the top was rotated to the bottom. no torture at all if you have a large body surface area affected, It was/ is, much easier to rotate the patient in the frame , than to have 2 people push and pull a person with painful large body surface area burns. Claudia's information is entirely correct as well. Thanks for posting Claudia.
I remember driving past this wonderful building many times in the past. Its such a shame it has been left to deteriorate. With all the historical buildings that have been preserved. Why? Why has this one been abandoned? It was, obviously, a masterpiece in its day. If only it had been preserved for generations to come. A beautiful work of art.....lost forever. Extinct.
I am from Monterrey, Mexico, and studied there for a year, in 1947. Now my grandson who lives in the U.S., sent me this, that was a surprise. I am so sad to hear that Eden Hall, the whole school, was burnt down. But anyway, the pictures brought back so many good memories..
Maybe I have forgotten my english, but not what I experienced there.
Close, Larry D. The old fake hair dryer trick. Sucks 'em right in every time. Sharp saws zip the skullcaps right off for the lobotomies. They won't care about having wet hair for long!
