why does this remind me of the Miss America pageant???

Most of those are metal drapery hooks. The house I live in had those on the curtains when I moved in.

Funny story.........

person in a petit Mal ....naked pressed up against a full window, refused to be coaxed away, so I just drew down the shades as far as I could, at least no one walkin by would see his face.

That may have been a whirlpool tub. I work in a care center and they have 2 of them except their more modern and not as large so they're more accessable to the residents.

I think the bottom part says:

Administer first aid and call for medical assistance.
COMPLEX PARTIAL SEIZURES
(TEMPORAL LOBE, PSYCHOMOTOR)
-Do not try to stop or restrain the person
-Try to remove harmful objects from the person's pathway or gently coax the person away from them
-Do not agitate the person

The bottom part of the poster that says complex partial seizures is what a Petit Mal seizure is, or a smaller form of siezure. The description of it is kinda funny though because it says do not stop or restrain the person and the bottom line says do not (agitate? hard to read ) the person. During a Complex partial seizure you're not actually with it enough to know what's going on and it's the same thing as a black out without passing out but you don't have the convulstions and everything.

I have epilepsy and it's been my expierence that you never want to place anything in anyones mouth who is having a siezure. And it's also impossible to swallow your tongue.

oooh...painful

That isn't an 'autoclave' (I don't actually know what one is), it is a bedpan sanitizer, I work in an adult home care facility and we have the same thing, only newer. I have found these in many other abandoned hospitals as well. when you open the door, you stick a soiled bedpan in and the two arms inside hold it in place when you close the door, then you depress the foot pedal and water rushes over the bedpan until it is sterilized.

DON'T WE ALL WISH! GOSH DARN IT LORD MOTTS GET OFF YOUR ASS AND LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE!

We want more,Sir

Well, it did hit zero... An interesting picture... reminds me of that painting with the melting clocks...

Another picture that is lovely!

Say, do you sell those as posters, perhaps?

I like this picture... it has a certain factor that attracts me to it... well done!

I think this is the Mourge in Bacchus or the "Old Hospital" When my parents worked in Letchworth I was with them when they had to stop by there one time on a day off. Though my mother worked in the "New Hospital", she had to see some friends in the "Old" one. This mourge was no longer used as such, and had become a break room. It was very creepy to a 15 year old to eat food there. One of my less thrilling adolescent memories. I was with a friend also 15 as well. We got a case of nervous laughter. My 'rents thought we where just being silly. They didnt realize we were so creaped out.

I was just there last nite, its awesome, it looks exactly like that still with the drawers open. My friends wanted me to lay on the tray like a corpse because i am small but i wouldnt do it.
