ripe with decay

seems new because the old type needles was big and bulky with the curved finger holes

I really love this shot. It feels lonely almost.

I can't get through... it saw access denied, well i am at school, maybe i'll try again when i get back home...well at my somewhat foster home

we had a 50 gallon drum of this stuff at the hospital where i went to x-ray school. it was pepto-bismal pink!
we used it for the barium enemas- large intestine- (yikes!), upper GI series- look at the stomach- (drink a couple of cups) & small bowel series - small inetstines-(drink a few more cups).

I was a "patient" in Riverside in the late 1950's when it was the only "treatment" program in the U.S. (and maybe the world) for adolescent heroin addicts. Most patients wre court-mandated, and after a study showed not a single "cure" in a decade, it was shut down in 1963. It is weird to see the views I haven't seen for half a century, and remember all the guys I knew who have since died, many from their addiction.
