Think Shepard Fairey or Bansky.

Scary looking hallway. It scare me.

Awesome

This makes my heart drop a little... I am a in training to be a theatrical lighting designer, and theater is my life. It pains me to see a beautiful (albeit Small) space like this deterorate into ruin.

It seems like alot if these hospitals are located in huge vast forests and you cant see anyhting around for miles.

medical grade plastics can withstand the high heat and pressure of autoclaving as well.

we use these at school. my coach makes us get in these before weightlifting meets. the cold is suppose to make our legs feel better!

There are two types of bucky's. The first bucky is the cassette tray that slides underneath the table top. The second bucky is the wall bucky that the cassette is loaded into, but can move up and down that is attached to a fix unit. Last but not least...AEC. AEC (Automatic Exposure Control) controls the amount of exposure distuibuted to the patient. The AEC, KVp and MAs must be selected before making an exposure!

I remember having an x-ray in "94 and that 's similar to the one that was used on me! I'm guessing that is a late "60's to early "70's machine!. Talk about vintage!

its an over head soap despencer

get the raid

a racoon sticker? very sad and distrubing, perhaps a child was in this lung?

so give them blood, blood, gallons of the stuff. (:

Shazzorama ~ institutions are more humane now???? Did you ever think this was the top-of-the-line for that time?

Kathy ~ Christopher Reeve and his wife both made mega bucks before his accident so they could well afford all the new technology. Dianne's parents got the iron lung when she was a child and since the mother couldn't work, all they had was the father's income so this is probably the best they could do.

Many of the posts on this site disgust me !! How can any of you with any decency come on here and joke at the expense of those less fortunate. SHAME ON YOU !!!

I was 7 when I came down with the non-paralytic polio in 1954, same year the vacinne came out, and I now suffer with post polio syndrome, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and arthritis. I would gladly trade places with all you people who show no compassion, joke about a buffet and argue over which color you want. I have a great sense of humor but not at the expense of others. You need to grow up but most of all, you need to suffer some ailment to understand and be more sympathetic or you need to be turned over someone's knee and whipped a few times. Your parents failed miserably in teaching you to be understanding, compassionate and loving towards those who are less fortunate than you.

I was in the hospital for over a month when I had polio and I remember going by the iron lung ward on my way to therapy. I can't imagine what it must have been like, to never be able to run and play with other kids like so many of them ended up doing.

I pray God will have mercy on your souls for insulting so many of us who have survived this terrible plight.
