i watched space jam and in one part is it tweety pie that is in an iron lung? i remeber always wondering what it was. these are incredible, i cant believe theyve just been left there.

i dont understand thought, how did they go to the toilet? people fed them ? they just lay there the whole time? that is so unreal.

thats "recuperate" no irecuperate... type - sorry

Now THAT is a crib.

Traction ... I've had the modernized version of it, not quite as painful as the machine there makes it look.

I wasn't talking about someone stealing this stuff and selling it,what I meant was, wouldn't it be better for it to be removed at closure and used elsewhere then just sitting there for theives or vandels.

It was a very modern hospital, the machinery left behind although few and far between seemed pretty large and expensive.

Kassie, yes, thats what I was thinking too.

I'm curious to know if there were patients in this Hospital while these labs were doing testing?

Oh don't be silly.........it's a nurse's face. ;-)

I was thinking the "owner" when I posted "why didnt someone cash in on this stuff". My thoughts were that its silly to let it sit and rot... I agree with you Sam, it would be more than difficult to just go there and take them.

who wants milk anyway, wheres the Pepsi machine!

I memory serves ne, this machine is where you would put a piece of wet laundry into - and when it rolled out the other end, it would not only be dry, but ironed too. the only problem was that you had to make sure it was totall straight when you put it in or you'd end up with a creased mess...

Lynne, yes... thank goodness for that!

I love this picture, what odd doors. I wonder why they went to such trouble in a place like that. I imagine anything custom made was expensive... Was this a very upscale type of place?
