Stretchers

wow you go from wheelchairs to these...GRrRrRR. hope none of experimental patients ended up in these.

Kahuna69- Your ignorance does not even deserve a response, but I can't let it go. This state school was basically a specialized hospital. I see nothing unusual about having stretchers in a hospital.

hell why are some people so ignorant?

What experimental patients, kahuna69?

Did you read the description of this facility at the beginning of the photo album, Nancy?

"The most infamous aspect of this facility is the testing of radioactive substances on unknowing participants in the late 1940's, according to declassified documents from the US Department of Atomic Energy. The tests were performed in conjunction with Harvard University, MIT, and was sponsored in part by the Quaker Oats Company. A total of 74 patients were encouraged to participate in the experiment under the guise of joining a "science club", where the boys were fed iron and calcium enriched meals with "radioisotope tracers" that were used to track absorption.

The doses given were very low and doubtfully caused any injury to the subjects, but the troubling moral dilemma exists in the fact that neither the children nor their parents were given knowledge about the testing."

Geeez! This looks like something right out of "M*A*S*H" (one of my fave shows and I cried when it ended)...this is kind of spooky. I can almost hear the loudspeaker:
"Attention all personnel--attention...incoming wounded..."

Too much TV for me perhaps? What do you think Motts?
