Henry, the portholes were for handling the patient, yes, and turning him/her over to prevent bedsores? Or was this one of those on a pivot that tilted? I had an relation who was in one as a child due to polio....

Google Iron lung: The history of the device is amazing: It saved MANY lives (although the quality of life...) of people stricken with Polio. The modern ones are pretty ingenious. The old ones are pretty horrifying

That is not a bed for marital duties, and that is a fact.

That's just elegant...astonishing really

metropsychgirl: What ward at Waltham's Met State did you work at?

this last one is so beautiful it is almost painful. once again thank you Motts * stands and applaudes at the computer screen*

yup, what they all said. thank you motts.

the building was burned down by the fire dept. during training.

Has anyone ever spent time in seclusion? what was the experiance like? how did you feel? how long were you in seclusion? how were you treated?

I believe the telephone area code for the Pines' location is now 845. I wonder what would happen if someone dialed 845-434-6000. Has the phone number been reassigned? Would someone pick up the phone? Or would it be an automated voice message?

i have to agree, while the old picture is beautiful it tends to make me think of the twins in the shining. something about the feeling it produces. awesome as usual!

LOVE IT!

Forgot to mention- I cannot believe some guests so petty that they stole Curtains? I have heard of stealing hotel towels, but Curtains? Imagine if a hotel or hotel required an inspection of the room before a guest checked-out? No wonder many are requiring guests to give their credit card #s!

Howie (I assume you worked at the Pines), the same happened when my family (my parents, my brother and I- when we were kids) stayed at the Pines years ago. Though I think it was a sheet instead of a blanket, but I might be incorrect.

This looks like an awesum venue for outlandish stageplays & Hevvy metal shows put on by the near local & local performers.
