After the second floor, there was a little dark room on one of the landings, then you entered the odd lecture hall that was in the tower http://opacity.us/imag..._scattered_seats.htm

Is it a Stryker frame? They used it for people that were paralyzed or burned. Strapped them in like a sandwich and turned them every 2 hours. Does it look like that to you Lynne?

We used something like that to shake down the old glass mercury thermometers also.

It is surprising to see such vibrant colors. They usually used subdued colors to keep the patients calm.

I am wondering if the wide halls aren't for moving beds? Especially if they were using ECT. It would be easier to move the person in their bed...
