thats not blood.everyone wants to believe it is. you can find the glass it came in.there is the package it came in.i cant remember what the stuff does,but its not blood.

[name removed per site policy] was one of the most advanced hospitals for its time.drains on the sides was huge deal and advancement.

the morgue...in this picture you can see two morgues and two drip trays.the top drip tra is now missing as of 2 weeks ago.i og back here all the time,so thats how i know.i researched those drip trays and they run for $2,000.its a real shame

In fact, the hospital I was speaking of in the last post is the sister hospital to this one: http://www.forgottenoh...scan/franciscan.html

You know morgues are often located in the strangest of places, I am familiar with a hospital in my area in which the morgue is right at the end of a short hall from the main cafeteria...and this is a well used cafeteria which is always lively and bustling. I often look down that hall while I'm in there and wonder if people could finish their lunches if they knew what lurked just beyond that stainless steel door.

Lynne, you know what I hate the most about the way people think when it comes to these facilities? Patients (not as often) and their families (very often) who complain about the "service" in hospitals...a nurses duties do not include making sure that your coffee is not decaf, fetching you the morning paper, or looking up numbers for you to call. "Service" is something you get at a hotel, or a garage, not a hospital. A nurses job is VERY important, and in the time it takes a nurse to fetch your paper, or neatly arrange your personal artifacts, the person next door could be in life-threatening danger from any number of possible incidents. Here are just a few which are common in all hospitals: stroke, heart attack, pulmonary embolism, fall, anaphylaxis (acute allergic reaction), choking, panic attacks, aneurysm, dangerous drug interactions, and the like. Nurses have a lot more than just one person to look out for on any given night, it just irks me to think of people being so self-centered that things like this happen. What are a nurses duties? How about making sure you don't die, or become profoundly disabled from something as simple as laying on your arm for too long as in the case with some operating room clients. All nurses take care to make sure that the little things are done for people, but people must realize that they are not in a hotel, they are not at wal-mart, and they are in a fast-food chain, in the hospital the customer is not always right. Forgive me if I sound stern, but it just seems like people want to be first in line, all the time, no matter what, with no consideration for the well being of others.
And as far as comments about lazy fat-assed nurses, I know there are plenty of fat-ass nurses out there, but they do more in a day than most people do in a week. Nursing is not a cake job by ANY means, and to disrespect those who are trying to care for you is just wrong. Anyone with a shred of decency should be able to see this.

strangely familiar...

Very nice photography,it looks like a Prehistoric beast.

Wash, Sanitize, Repeat!

We use autoclaves in dentistry. So it is weird for me to see an old one like this.

These walls remind me of the many military hospitals I visited as a child. Definately NOT fond memories!

Most likeley it is, looks exactally like the one they put up to the side of my face. Ugh I hate the dentist.

Wow, a ceramic autopsy table. I didn't even know they were made.

Wow, remarkably clean and modern-looking
