Medic137(Bill), wow, that is insane, how well did that really work, I am a nurse so I am curious. I guess it is good that they have medication to put pt's "asleep", because, that would have to of been hard to perform while awake!!! :-0

Before the introduction of paralitic drugs we had to create our own tools to intubate conscious patients in the field. It's a lot easier now.

The mouth gag ensured that the patient's mouth was immobilised during an exploration or operation on the mouth, trachea (airway to the lungs), larynx (the voice box) or the oesophagus (the gullet). When the finger holds are brought together the instrument opens. It works like a pair of scissors, only backwards. There was also a smaller version for use on children.

I was a patient there. I know what the mouth gags were for. They had nothing to do with ECT, but you folks go on with your fantasies. Heaven forbid anyone should intrude with facts.

Dear Doctor Sketch... If you notice a few extras on the pile it's only temporary. ;)

Yeah, but you didn't kill and dismember all the people like they regularly did (and apparently still do) in institutional facilities; otherwise there would be little ghostly mists all the heck over the derned place.

Funny how an open well might have mist coming off of it... Mine does the same freaking thing, and nobody points it out!

Just got back from a 6 hour exploration of Glenndale. Nothing weird happened(unless you count bumping into a bunch of Mexicans who were there for the same reasons we were). I grew up in Bowie and have been to GDH more times than I could possibly count(at least 100) and nothing "supernatural" has ever happened to me. But that's just me. :-)
