Hi Zac,

Certain medications have to be divided up and given across the day to attain and maintain specific blood levels, such as anticonvulsants and Ritalin, to do their job effectively. Other medications may be effective when they reach a particular dose, but if you give the total dose all at once it knocks the person out, so you divide it up and give it throughout the day to keep the person on an even keel. Another example is people with diabetes who usually have their insulin spaced out across the day to keep their blood sugar within specific limits. It is not unusual for a number of non-psychiatric medications to be given multiple times per day, such as antibiotics, post-transplant medications, hypertensives, pain medication, antihistamines, bronchodilators, etc.

Additionally, there are many medications that need to be given at a different time than certain other medications or they change the effectiveness of one or both medications. Therefore you might need to take one drug in the morning and another drug in the evening. Same is true of food and/or herbal products. If you drink grapefruit juice, for example, you can't take a number of medications right afterwards because it will affect the amount of medication that your body can utilize.

It's not the number of times something is given - it's how much is needed to get to a particular therapeutic level, and whether a specific blood level needs to be maintained while the person is awake. Every year new studies are run and new medications are discovered and introduced, so until you know the specifics it's hard to be too critical. There are many "normal" people who take medications 4 times a day.

such a shame that there nocking it down :(

Must have been the Sacristy... Haunting to see what is becoming of this Holy Ground.

'n****rs are black'.....

very observant...

I love to take pictures myself, and am actually hoping to get better. I look at your photography in hopes that someday I can be as good as you. Thank you for the wonderful pictures!

I know that this is waaaayyyyy after the fact but, these are in fact air exchange units. No, I cannot provide pics of one due to the fact that many industrial air exchange units are one-off machines but, I can tell you how this type works.
If you look at the doors, there are 2 sets of hinges on each of the 4 doors. The top set of hinges hold the "control doors" that are used to regulate air flow speed and direction (many of the older units didn't have multi-speed fans). The reason you cannot see belts, pulleys or fans is because they are contained in the section connectiong the upper section to the lower (the connection way can be seen in the photo).
The larger set of door (ie. the one that open) is referred to as the maintenance door. These doors are to provide access to the internals for cleaning and air filters. Many times, filter elements are placed in side the wire mesh to filter the air as it passes out of the machine. These units are also multi-directional units, meaning the air can flow from either top to bottom or bottom to top. This feature was used in different seasons for better heating/cooling efficiency. Usually, they would run upflow in the summer and downflow in the winter.
Hope this helps Motts, even though it came about 2 yrs. too late.

Sad for chiuldren but have any of you actually SEEN a child come unglued mentally? Its scarier than the rooms...I promise you!

Very artistic. And so well preserved, in a place like that. The poor thing.

The angle almost feels like vertigo. A little unnerving...

My heart aches for all the people forced to live here. Imagine being thrown into a darkness like that...

This photo scares me half to death, I swear. I'm gonna have to sleep with the lights on tonight.

This photo is striking to me, partly because of the newfallen snow's contrast against the dilapidated and aged remains of the theater. Amazing.
