sliding automatic doors are the simplistic answer in every medical facility I've seen.

Smooth Corners

STL girl

NEVERMORE gets a point here. IL has outlets & sockets going both ways. Personally, I associate socket with light bulbs. "no outlet" IS a funny way to say "dead end" ...or, for that matter, blind alley! ;) Ice blocks, Felyne? seriously? -BTW, "Davenport" was a brand of convertible sofa/couch. I've also wondered if the Hoover brand of vacuum cleaners has lost it's name copyright in Britain. Here, we may Hoover, but we also Oreck! ;) ;)

Electroconvulsive Therapy

STL girl

Voluntary (and nice) electro-stimulation PT: electrodes applied around my kneecap with an ice pack over it-stimulation along with the ice to reduce excess inflammation.
Involuntary jolt: being tasked with topping off horses' water buckets by putting a hose through the stall bars. Specifically, these two horses were owned by a diva who insisted on running electric wire across the entire front (in)side of their stalls. For instant fun, just add water! Ouch. Rather punishing to those of us just trying to fill a water bucket!

I think it's a "check mark" X..."gone through and emptied, leave door open so we remember we did"

DawnMichelle, I have a feeling Motts deploys some serious business "don't disturb me, I'm working" protective auras for these projects. That way, there's nothing to distract from what physically remains.

...were those actually green light bulbs?? I know green counteracts red, but isn't that a little overboard?

The Big Cooler

STL girl

The only Waverly Hills I know of is the former TB sanitarium in KY. The St Louis Psych Rehab center has the main part of the Kirkbride remaining and has active facilities in the area.
