The door made from metal or wooden? I'm it is heavy

It was a timed treatment that another person administered. Gel was applied to the area and the microphone looking piece was laid on the area to be treated. The tech moved it around to treat the entire area. I remember having this done to my upper back. Sometimes it would cause a muscle twitch. Usual treatment lasted 15-20 minutes.

There was a problem with the tracing that was made by this type of machine. If you printed out a tape that showed a problem with the heart beat and you placed it in the chart for documentation for why you gave a specific medication or other treatment, it was great for about 6 months. Then the entire strip would fade away leaving just the paper. So much for documentation. My guess is they left it because it was an outdated piece of equipment.

These same tubes are in use today. For shorthand when we were drawing blood and needed another tube like this we called them "gunk". The tube is a vacuum. If you draw the patient's blood with a syringe and then insert the syringe needle into the tube it will suck out the exact amount of blood needed for this tube. When the blood is drawn directly from the arm into the tube the vacuum limits the amount of blood that goes into the tube. Pretty ingenious when you think about it.

I seem to remember from nursing school that to be called a tincture it had to contain alcohol ETOH. I think you nailed the use of the black metal item. Interesting finds in these rooms.

Free spirit, as a nurse I am familiar with the medical use of the term douche. But post a Google search I can tell you that it also means a shower of water. An additional definition is an obnoxious or contemptible person. I have a feeling the 4 douche rooms had showers in addition to the tub.

This is a site dedicated to exploring the lost and forgotten spaces of humankind. I would argue against your opinion that everything should be demolished because thieves exist in the world... but I'm not really sure where you're coming from, or what you accuse me of being ignorant of...?

I still can't get over how neat and tidy this place looks!

I'm ready for a massage and a spa day, thanks to this gallery, lol!

A lot of the stuff in the rooms is in surprisingly good condition!

Is the cabinet what is considered an apothecary cabinet?

Since we're throwing rotten exes in here, can you add mine to the garbage pile??

I know the spa catered to the rich..I wonder how much it cost back in the day?

Yay! A new gallery! My birthday was February 17th, so happy birthday to me with these awesome new pictures!

Could be some an inmates was innocent? What's their untold story? I wish the cell could tell...
