That is what i imagine the door way to Hell to look like, well maybe like the side door, ya know, if you're on the list!!!

Nice Details!!!!!

I Agree with that ,Kara sunshine

Am I the only one that finds it odd to have to "notify the office by telephone" if the place caught fire? I think the phone would be the last thing on my mind at that point.

It looks allot like washout from the photo getting wet, I could be completely wrong though, it's happened before... once... a long time ago... we don't talk about it anymore....

The "light fixture" or "soap dispenser" appears to be part of the plumbing, if you look at the top of the bedpan washer/urinal, it appears to be the same size as the hole in the wall. Copper robbers, or whoever, probably took the hook portion out of it.

; )

The x-ray reading probably came from the fact a person reacted to a PPD test. It's a test where they see if you've been exposed to TB. X-ray's are taken to see if the TB is active. Either that or the person has an allergic reaction to the injection, and needs an x-ray to test for exposure.

PPD stands for plasma protien derivative I believe. A small amount is injected just under your skin leaving what looks like a mosquito bite. If the bite goes away in a 48 hours no problem. If it gets bigger and looks inflamed the presumption is that you've been exposed to the disease enough so your system has built up antibodies to it. Afterwards you need a yearly chest x-ray to see if you have active TB. Or you could be allergic to it and your arm could blow up like a ballon. It happened to a good buddy of mine.

Two words: Hulk Smash!

No dude, OBVIOUSLY it's a Baby Blender 3000.

If there was a name, that's a good thing, because the box next to "Negative for Tuberculosis" has been checked. Yay for that person. :)

The flouresent lights we have in our laundry room lasted 8 years before they finally flickered and died. I'm not surprised those still work.

I remember - when I was a nurses aid - assisting the nurse in inserting a catheter.

there is a u-bend on that sink, it is behind the leg

My Friend has CP...She is a quadraplegic. She insists her belt is fastened in her wheel chair because her involuntary shakes would put her out the chair and on the floor

I agree..Almost looks like it is screaming for help
