	STL girl yep, reminds me of something I'd see near an overhead electric rail line.

	STL girl interesting how it's a wooden tower, yet apparently didn't get damaged much at all from the water vapor.

	STL girl The upper color looks ugly, the lower kind of matches the dark stained trim.

	STL girl "I see it's time for the geography lesson, so get off to the lecture hall, all of you lot!"

	STL girl Goodness, is THAT a newell post??

	STL girl With some luck, a person might see this in the lobby of an old downtown bank still in use.

STL girl Yep, a fairly impressive (and intimidating) admin building, likely! The Upper School (grades 6-12) building where I went for high school had a lower-level foyer going to the gym (left) and the main school building (right). There was also a second-level (generally admin) entrance. The second floor was a balcony overlooking the main level "commons" area and not-too-fancy stage. The third level was the ceiling over this. Needless to say, THIS main hall and balcony beats mine by two miles!

	STL girl ...makes me think...there's a high school and an old junior high school in my city that I would have had a difficult time staring down while going in the front doors without being rather intimidated. I pity the poor little 11-year-olds who have to go to Lincoln Middle School as incoming 6th graders!!

	STL girl With the crumbling debris swept back, seeing the wood floor is amazing!

	STL girl Eughh, seems about right for a TB unit. (better, I imagine, to recover from spontaneous pneumothorax than require one being surgically done!)

	STL girl At any rate, regarding protective gear, I would not want to have reason to visit anyone in isolation/intensive care. Needing to wear as much stuff as a staff member seems like it would be a cumbersome annoyance to me.

	STL girl If the Treatment Room consisted of oxygen therapy, that's not so ominous seeming.

	STL girl echh, the double doors like that in hospitals for some reason seem creepy.

	STL girl Doesn't look like a dental chair, but there are lap belts on those for oral surgery.

	STL girl I see the arm bandage thing going on. His face looks...late 1800s. The other one is the nurse with the little boy...though what in the world injured arms have to do with TB treatment, I am clueless.

	STL girl Blech. Funny, I thought it was a disgusting overstuffed Victorian loveseat.

	STL girl BRRR, don't wanna be cold now, I'm wearing a T-shirt!

	STL girl *Were hospitals "this bad" three and four years ago? I imagine they were, and, really, if things don't improve, it makes more sense for them to be complicated and bureaucratic in entirely different ways-not necessarily getting worse. *end rant

	STL girl ...Lest any of us take good health in that area for granted... (ughh)

	STL girl Somewhat similar to the Waverly hills elevators.

	STL girl A similar motif to a certificate of some sort that I've seen from the "Shriners' Hospital for Crippled Children".

	STL girl Sparky: "...She had to hold onto something like this, while the doctor performed the surgery..." Ughh, a similar method of adenoid-ectomy was detailed in Roald Dahl's autobiography. Back when adenoids and tonsils were considered a useless nuisance.

STL girl "I see only one other person has commented on this type of pan being used for ear flushing. I definitely remember having one of these held up to my reclined head while cold gooey wax and peroxide dripped out of my ear. I had frequent ear problems as a kid so I never thought about them being used for any other purpose. Krista" Wow, and I quite disliked even the ear drops when I was young...

	STL girl To quote Lynne: "And, of course, no one ever even thinks that their own personal shiny stainless steel sterile-looking emesis pan may have been used by someone else previously. ;-)" -Or, dishes in the dining room, if I may add!
