wonder what it plays when no one's around. So sad to see a piano fall into disrepair

This looks like a "seatbelt" that is commonly used to help residents stay in their wheelchairs if they are in danger of slipping out- it's not really a restraint, because it's not inhibiting voluntary movement- the person is simply in danger of falling out of the wheelchair, usually because of altered posture.

There was nothing "nasty" in that cabinet- just useful equipment used to care for sick people. Glycerin swabsticks are used to alleviate dry-mouth, NG tubes are used to decompress the abdomen or administer food or meds to a patient who can't eat. "All purpose catheters" are simply hollow tubes used for many different things- possibly oral/nasotracheal suctioning, irrigation, etc.

THATS nuckin futs O_O

motts motts motts....

You'd wish that until you found out it was your own personal paperwork that everyone was looking at. :-)

Wish you would have taken some pics of some documents.

I thought this was a TB hospital. Something else had to be done here.

I'm pretty sure they were for lifting patients. The chains are too thick to be restraints.

More evidence of children with TB.

What should the title be? Suggestions?

It looks like it's alive....

Maybe it was for children with TB, all the labeled material seems to indicate that.

That's sick! Imagine, if they didn't even have the capability of cleaning up infectious material for the uninfected public, how they maintained their patients environments.
