Really looks like military surplus. But why in this hospital?

I looked online to try to find one similar but nothing surfaced in my search. Odd place to find military equipment.

As I said before in the previous photo, this looks like an early-model Reeves Stretcher. Could be used to carry patients without using gurneys, with enough straps you can pretty much tie people down tight. Very popular on today's ambulances, though obviously much more modern.

Its a supine restraint board. they strap you in it so you cant harm yourself. inside the canvas there is slats of wood that keep it straight. The straps are tied around you and also used as handles for transporting violent patients to a safer area. Trust me, I spent 5 years in a mental facility.
