Yes... Very attractive :)

Sparky: "...She had to hold onto something like this, while the doctor performed the surgery..."

Ughh, a similar method of adenoid-ectomy was detailed in Roald Dahl's autobiography. Back when adenoids and tonsils were considered a useless nuisance.

"I see only one other person has commented on this type of pan being used for ear flushing. I definitely remember having one of these held up to my reclined head while cold gooey wax and peroxide dripped out of my ear. I had frequent ear problems as a kid so I never thought about them being used for any other purpose.

Wow, and I quite disliked even the ear drops when I was young...

To quote Lynne:
"And, of course, no one ever even thinks that their own personal shiny stainless steel sterile-looking emesis pan may have been used by someone else previously. ;-)"

-Or, dishes in the dining room, if I may add!

I have a feeling this place just might be durned creepier than Waverly Hills...

It's so...odd...how these places are unique, yet the interiors can very much resemble each other. I went on a weekend trip out to Louieville, and on the Waverly tour, our camera flashes lit up the otherwise pitch dark rooms , making the photos look as if there were fluorescent lights glaring off the dull gray and white paint. (it was SO hot that night, we were hoping for cold spots!)

The cookie-cutter condos of the present are a sad statement in comparison. A true Victorian building was never ordinary, even painted gingerbread trim adds so much personality.

That is some FASCINATING decorative detail!

Reminds me of the game S.T.A.L.K.E.R call of pripyat with the abandoned buildings and the forest growth and the sky.

that looks like my nans wheel chir and arm chir put together

Cool. Can you imagine waiting with baited breath and a Remington shotgun for whatever comes out of that elevator shaft?

Spectacular pic. No doubt about it.

Very nice picture. I can only imagine what it looked like in the hospital's hey day.

To Colleen : This is not a restraint. Please browse through the other comments. At least two people have stated what this was, and what it is still used for. It is the sling for a hoyer lift. Again, it is not a restraint. If you truely were a nurse, you might know this especially if you have worked in a retirement home.

Those tags are not recent, I used to have one of those lil marking labeling things when I was little and i loved it! You set the dial to the letters you wanted then pressed the lil handle and out would come whatever you put it to say.. the letters were .. not sure of the right work.. not stamped but embedded maybe..
