If only there was a way to remove this old medical equipment and start a meciacl museum. I am in the medical field and would love to go to one. It is a great learning tool for modern medical practitioner's to see how far medicine has advanced.

This should be in a museum.

I don't understand how they just leave beautiful achitecture to rot like that. If your goig to rip the building down salvage these amazing pieces of work. Again people pay hundreds to thousands of dollars to recreate things like this.

I believe they were good recreation and some of them were used for therapy and excercise. Think about it. Lifting the ball (some of them weigh alot), the accuracy it takes to hit the pins. It would be awesome therapy for the elderly. I have worked in nursing homes and some of these people are horribly mistreated by staff who don't care. I know alot of the people I took care of would love this. I took care of one man who was one of Hitler's SS officers.

There are beautiful chairs. Clean them up and reupholster them. It's terrible that all this stuff is left there to rot. Put this in a museum. Redo the furnture and sell them as antiques. Some people pay alot of money to recreate this stuff. Just sell these.

Is the tree pointing the way out?

Sometimes wheelchairs or other assistive devices are not passed on to another person is because technology has come so far that these chairs are obsolete. New ones are lighter, easier to fold for transport, and are much more comfortable.

More likely is that Medicaid paid for this chair for a particular person, and it cannot legally be transferred to anyone else, even if the person no longer needs. Nor can anyone "profit" for the sale of something that was purchased by Medicaid funds, so that prohibits even selling them at state surplus property auctions.

A mask like this can be used only after other methods of modifying the unwanted behavior have been tried and failed. Its use would have to be ordered by a physicain andt then approved by the organization's human rights committee. The rationale for its use would have to be for reasons of safety and health of both the person wearing it and the staff, NOT to control behavior. Safety does not mean just safety from injury to self or others by uncontrolled aggression, it also refers to infection control (blood-borne pathogens). A program of positive behavior support would have to be in place, with the goal of eliminating the mask altogether. Typically the mask would be approved for use only for 15 or fewer minutes at a time. If the person were still agitated and violent after 15 minutes, the physician wod have to be contacted and sign off on another 15 minutes of use.

At least, those how it's supposed to work where I live and work. Real-life scenarios are often somewhat different, especially if there are not enough staff.

We had that Santa pillow in my family! I'm pretty sure it was of pre-printed fabric and my mom sewed it together and stuffed it with fill, sometime in the eighties. It got put out with the other holiday decorations every year... heck, we probably still have it in my parents' basement somewhere.

The ceiling looks like a Scrabble board!!

I love the thumbs in the pocket of the bully in the tripping card. Not only is he a bully, he's a non-chalant bully at that.
