If these walls could talk. Did you ever feel these rooms were haunted....Did you ever feel the presence of anything while taking any of these photos? I can feel it looking at the photos. The photographs are truly amazing.

Fantastic photo. Love the colors.

Fantastic Photos! Very haunting.

The stepladder was invented in Dayton, Ohio...along with the ice cube tray, the cash register, the electric self starter for cars.... in addition to that whole "airplane thing" Wotta town...I don't think we can claim the wheelchair, though!

The Lady...Or the Tiger?

Is it my head, or is the floor dropping off to the right?
The window looks plumb & level, but the floor, the floor!
(OOOH my head!)
NICE mold collection!

Finally! This is just what I was loiokng for.

It is sad , how many of our posters have ever taken care of the infirm in their home. In the hospital the meal trays come, Housekeeping clean the rooms. Food service gets the food at the loading dock. Then there is the 24 hours of watching someone who may function as a child, that could easily harm themselves or burn the whole house down while you are sleeping. Staff makes beds mops floors and does the laundry. I challenge many of the above to really think about this day after day for months. And all this in an age with no antipsycotic meds...... think about it.

Often adult diapers are fully opened and placed on top of the drawsheet, Sometimes adults are incontinent of stool and urine when they are extremely ill. Hospitala are not overstaffed they are hard work. Its a convenience for nursing and nursing assistants to quickly freshen a bed without changing all the bed linen, it's not a perfect world you do the "best"" you can with what is available.

I find something creepy about the medicine cabinet left opened...

Well said, Falltwin.

I hate when the give Haldol to calm someone..
I know what is it.. and it very hard on our body ..

That machine is actually in better shape than the one at one of my hospitals. Perhaps they could trade?

I feel I need a respirator just looking at this..

Ah, indeed it is. Thanks.
