Loving that light fixture!

MY GAWD THAT'S THE SAME STRUCTURE OF THE MILK REFRIGERATION THAT WAS IN MY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

Sorry about the caps, this really brought me to another time .. o_0

Reminds me of the Warroom from Dr. Strangelove

I thought it was a super secure gate over a stairway.

I think that fridge would look great in my kitchen......

Medically approved tanning beds? LOL

Oh my. Wonderful shot! I find myself wondering how much this hallway has decayed since this shot was taken....

I really like that light fixture.

And why do curtains in abandoned buildings hold up so well?

I contracted polio in 1953, at the age of 13. I spent about six months in an iron lung. It doesn't hurt. It is a very gentle form of artificial respiration. You are not claustrophobic, because your head sticks out the end. And, most important, it keeps a person alive. Thank God for the iron lung, and thank God we now have a polio vaccine. But a vaccine only works if people use it. Get your children vaccinated! For more information on polio and the iron lung, go to www.polioassociation.org

I HAVE HAD A PHOBIA ABOUT THESE MACHINES FOR THE BEST PART OF 50 YEARS NOW.ANYONE OUT THERE FEEL THE SAME ?

Pulmonary function tests were and are used to test the capacity of a patients lungs. they are also used for after chemo therapy because some medicines can cause problems with the lungs.

I would like to talk to people whose mothers had polio and were in an iron lung during their pregnancy with you. My mother was in an iron lung when she was 2 months pregnant with me and staye for about 5 months

I would of taken the jet pumps out and used them in my hot tub.

hehe yep thats a 1955 eureka roto matic canister vacuum cleaner. This hospital was cheap!

MY MOTHER GAVE BIRTH TO ME IN AN IRON LUNG ON AUG.17,1954
