These are drying racks possibly used for test tubes beakers. Have the newer version in the pharmacy where i work.

Glass IV bottles are still used in some hospitals. I use to compound Insulin IVs in glass bottles up until the hospital I work for decided to change over to more convenient "plastic" bags. Now a days most common IVs such as normal saline, lactated ringers, DW5 etc, are all standard and come pre maded into the pharmacy. Electrolytes such as multi-vits are compounded individually by the pharmacy and are commonly called "banana bags" because the solution becomes yellow once the vitamins are added by the pharmacy tech.

I love the window in this one

I love this picture Motts! I haven't checked out the site in awhile as I've been caught up with school work and my own photography adventures, I was very happy to see that you've added new albums! Keep up the amazing work! This is so far my favorite of this line of photos, the face (though it is from matrixing) is almost like the face of a patient looking on from the other world at where they once resided.

No, it's currently closed and off-limits, although I believe the state has opened the place up for filming movies / TV shows.

The door found a way to wave at us! Nice shot.

A shot right out of the original Psycho film!

Mindblowingly beautiful shot! Wallpaper!!!

I love the contrast in the colors of this one. So happy to see all these new galleries! I've been a fan for years! Thank you very much mysterious Mr M!

Is this place open to the public or for tours??

A confused patient cry's out.
Confused and alone.

wonder how , when and why the windows were open

Wordy Not at all Ravenna752. Thank You for your response. I have worked since 1987 and I have never seen that type of thing. I suspected it was some type of medication administration record. I would also guess that these units were for the most part Long Term. I appreciated your opinions, as you work in areas where nothing is routine.

Thank you for another excellent gallery!

Those are "old" IV bottles which were replaced with bags. You can see the metal bale around the base that the hanging loop is connected to. Not sure why this type of bottle would be in a lab. It was usually in central supply and placed directly on the unit as stock or sent to pharmacy so any additives could be added under sterile conditions. The most common IV solutions of the day were normal saline ( same as the body's normal salt solution) D5W which is 5% dextrose (sugar) and water. There were also electrolyte solutions used such as Lactated Ringers. Not very exciting. They got additives like vitamins.
