it almost looks like a woman under the propping stick...sitting on the floor, wearing a dress with legs outstretched. the stick would go along her back like that...

Pink is in the red family and is supposed to be an angry color. Why is it in a hospital? And it's not evena pretty pink.

The prop is a piece of curtainrail, with the curtain hangers bunched at one end, with a bit of burnt curtain material still attached.

Written on the wall in red is just a bunch of ppls names/initials.

Believe it or not, at the time there was some currency to the notion that rose pink (which this is not) had a calming effect on disturbed people. The salmon pink seen here was just one of many colours used during this time, usually at the whim of whoever was in charge of that particular area.

i have been told that they used to paint hospitals and prisons with that 'pepto-bismol' pink and mint green because it is supposed to keep people calm.

That pink is exactly the shade of the ice cream they used to send for desert.
