Ah, I must say I how much I've laughed during these comments. Lynne and Charisma, you've missed your true calling as comedy writers....

Kitchen

AvalonSeeker

Hmmm....lemme see, I'm pretty sure it was FOOD, probably the institutional kind, sort of like we get at the hospital where I work every day, overcooked veges, mystery meat, etc, but I'm sure it came from a freezer and then went into the oven. Cripes.

Lynn, your post is most insightful and informative. Thank you for taking the time to educate. Ever think of becoming a politician? ( Meant in a positive way)

I'm disappointed...no one has mentioned the soap dispensers hanging from the ceiling (apparently they are too high for the little girl to reach to wash her dress....

Jeez, Lynne, I was so glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read your comment about the "whaling wall"!!!

Bed

AvalonSeeker

Well, there would be a mattress on it. This is merely a non-electric hospital bed. You would manually wind the head or knees up with a handle at the bottom of the bed. It hasn't been all that long ago that a LOT of hospitals still had these beds.

I believe in laws and law enforcement, but honestly, what is it about this site that keeps patrols on constant duty? I mean, how BIG is the police department??

Well, I can tell you, I work on an ortho unit, and we just got brand spankin new beds with frames over them that hold trapezes for patients to assist in lifting themselves.

The bar designs are quite intricate, I thought the windows were some ornate stained glass!

I'm not sure how this speaks to the equipment in the hospital where I work, but this sort of wheelchair is quite common.
