319 Comments for Barlow State Hospital

Not too long ago I explored a University Hospital in the City. A filing cabinet sitting open contained Index cards with student's personal information, including Social Security numbers. We come to think that the internet is most dangerous for personal info, but every so often I come across things like these that scare me even more.

My opinion is still more about privacy (patient) and how can a "Hospital" just leave these hanging around?

btw . I live in Finland and trees are not dyeing out, if you replant them!

I don't know if anyone is still using this site, but I believe I have this exact unit. I was trying to figure out what exactly I should do with it. Sell it? Keep it? If anyone has any advice please let me know

Also worked at Medcraft. I seem to remember another ECT called maybe the FA-11, might have been the precursor to the B24. The FA-11 was built into a black wooden box but the B24 was built into a Samsonite overnight carry-on - looked real homey :).

Does anyone know how to find out info on Babies being born in 1968 at Jensen Hall ??
I guess I was born there in Dec of 68

Medcraft of Skippack, Pa. manufactured the B24, series III, ECT machine shown here in the photos. Medcraft was a division of Hittman Corporation which had several other divisions. One of which was the Nuclear Battery Division of Columbia, Maryland. I know this as I worked for Medcraft at the time this unit was being manufactured. Medcraft made a number of medical devices including EEG machines, EKG machines, remote heart monitoring stations (the RM-400), a cardiovascular diagnostic center (the CDC-70) and a wearable heart monitor/recorder called the Accutape 24. So named as it recorded for 24 continuous hours on a C-180 cassette tape using pulse width modulation. At the end of the 24 hour recording cycle, the tapes could be reviewed for abnormalities or cardiac events using the CDC-70 station discussed above. The B24, series III, ECT machine was the only piece of equipment that was not patient tested after manufacturing was complete prior to shipping to a customer. There was, however, a dummy load which can be seen inside the lid which was used to set up the machine prior to patient use and also for machine diagnostics.

On box 1992 ?

BKW, the soap dispensers were on the ceiling in the previous photo. ;-)
