It was not. Born and raised in northern NH, and while locals like to believe the book was inspired by the MWH's princess ghost in room 314, that's just been wishful thinking.
These are great devices to assist someone with limited mobility so they can pull themselves upright to stand at the sink. This gives them the opportunity to use the mirrors and increases their personal image because they aren't limited to a single plane in space - what they can see from a seated level. There is a lot of research that shows that people in wheelchairs (with or without other issues) are not treated the same as people out of wheelchairs because people bend DOWN to look at them. Increasing the person's "height" increases their interaction opportunities and their ability to interact more "normally" in their environment. If you put all the fixtures at wheelchair level you are assuming the person can never leave their wheelchair, and there are LOTS of people who can stand for short periods of time if they have a way to get themselves up and/or down in their chairs.
Of course, if you keep looking long enough for something bad, you're bound to find it. :-)
Funny how this particular picture, which we know for certain was drawn by staff, inspires people who know nothing about the world of DD to write in and make comments showing their own bizarre yet naive conceptions about how other peoples' lives are or were.
I'm thinking something or someone needs to be taken with a grain of salt. ;-)
Jeebers, what is this bizarre, morbid fascination with ice in the bath water, people? Look at your basic physiology - you can't survive more than a VERY short time (under an hour) in a bathtub full of iced water. It would kill you. Any water that is below body temperature FEELS cold, even room temperature water, so when people talked about being in "ice cold water" for long periods of time they could NOT mean it literally - it's a perceptual issue - it feels cold in comparison - you can't really be in ice water for more than a few minutes or you would die - sorry - ack! - not real life - TV - movie - fantasy - fiction - pretend . . . . . . . . . .
This looks like my room. I believe it was the little girls dorm on ward A. That was were I was. There was an exit door that could not be opened on the other side and a exit sign up above it. I remembered jumping up and grabbing it to pick myself up and kick Matt the staff guy off of me before he grabbed me to restrain me for talking in the corner. Brings back bad memories. Glad it is gone.
I was on A ward. I use to rollerskate in the gym. I fell once and got sent to the hospital for stitches. I was in there early to mid 80's. Does anyone remember the game of the pats versus gaebler. I got to go to the game off grounds. I got the pats autographs too. That was the only good thing I could remember. John I remember Willie. He was real tall black guy with graying hair full beard. He was real nice. I still remember the names of the staff people on my ward. You remember when we went crazy when were not gonna take it by twisted sister came on. We all went off together. They eventually wouldn't let us listen to it. I remember the puke green mattresses. I used to stand it up against the wall and beat the shit out of it. I smashed my knuckles on the walls.
