thank you, barbara. no reason for you to get flamed, my dear. you were merely stating fact.

(perhaps i use too many latin phrases. an antiquated language, ipso facto, might not be so easily understood by a fair percentage of people. i shall try to curb my usage.)

but i will never understand why people spew out such hateful words without provocation....

FYI...

the latin abbreviation i.e., stands for "id est", which means "that is", "that is to say", "in other words" or "specifically" as opposed to the letters e.g. which stand for the latin phrase "exempli gratia", which means "for example". hellooooooo!!!!!! don't make yourself look bad! how embarassing....

i thought that was common knowledge. if you don't believe me, look it up!

geez, never underestimate the lack of intelligence of the human race....

please, be sure the brain is engaged before putting the mouth in gear (or fingers to keyboard).

Ancient Equipment

hi dear, i.v. stands for intravenous which simpply refers to something that enters a vein. the glass bottles would have been filled with saline, nowadays, thankfully, they're made of plastic. a long tube runs the saline solution directly into the vein. there are many reasons why this is done, rehydrating, etc. but it is a great way to administer drugs intravenously, especially if it's something they plan on doing more than once, or something that they need the patient to be on a steady supply for any length of time on.

hope this helps. : )

Cell Window

nice shot! i love the "fire exit" painted on the wall showing through the bars. i can't help but imagine a fire breaking out in there and the poor guy looking through the bars at the sign, unable to follow that arrow. just my imagination, of course. ;)

yeah, i wonder what happened here and how long ago. imagination knows no limits.
