Well, Merc, I assume there were some visitors. The hospital would want to leave a grand first impression. And who is to say that insane people cannot appreciate beauty anyway? There is some amazing and talented artwork done by institutionalized people that proves the contrary is true.

Beautifully said, Roy, thank you.

On another note... yellow is not a color seen very often in psych hospitals. It looks more foreboding than cheerful now, shrouded in shadow and the air of abandonment.

Amazing how few paint flakes are actually on the floor, considering the peeling on the walls and ceilings.

Exactly what I needed! Thank you Motts.

Could've used that chair to push my mom around in after her little accident.

Love the colors.

As a nurse I took it to refer to the medications that have to be counted at the beginning and end of every shift. Then as I read your comments, I began to see all kinds of things it could apply to. Including documentation. Living up to the standards that we were taught in nursing school. At the end of the day nurse's work is only as good as the nurse doing the job. Nobody stands over us all shift long. It probably applies to that most of all.

Bet that has one heck of a power supply in it! Probably some "killer" capacitors too!

One of my nursing instructors worked in a military VD (STD) ward during WW2. She gave some of the first penicillin that was used on these cases. In those days syringes were glass and were reprocessed for reuse. She told the story that syringes were in short supply so they used one 10ml syringe and 10 different needles. Each patient got one ml and then you changed the needle and moved on. The problem with cures like the hot boxes is if the patient had syphilis, they would appear to be "cured". Only syphilis remains in the body in a somewhat dorment stage. Several years down the line the patient develops a variety of neurological symptoms which are known as Tertiary Syphilis which is fatal. Penicillin has changed everything. When I first started working as a nurse 1971. All patients admitted to the hospital were screened for syphilis with a blood test, This was discontinued in the 80's.

In OH they were discharged to the streets. We live in the county seat and many of them end up here because the social services that they need are in our town. They live in boarding hotels or on the street. They intimidate some of the citizens, because they walk about talking to themselves. Some make very large hand gestures which some interpret as agressive. These places were bad, but I have to believe homeless is worse. Anybody wonder what the new "health care" will do for these folks?

No, it was from one of R2D2's dark side of family history. This is R2D2's great-great-grandpa A2D2 and he was condemned to be molded into a domed hair dryer for a unknown crime.

13 controls just to hose water at a person in a 360 degree shower?

this is old, and you may not see this post motts, but as far as the outside shots, you should come back in a few days after your exploration and approach security and tell them ur a photographer and want to take a picture of the outside (its not like your gonna go inside or anything...*ahem*)
