The flyswatter is hilarious! The nurse reminds me of Lindsay Lohan or Scout Willis (Bruce Willis' middle daughter). Anyone else see it?

Maybe the the commenter thinks "segregated" means "didn't allow black people." The word "segregate" means to keep separate.
Garfield Hospital

It was a mixed bag - Garfield was not segregated, however. See this link.
[Not sure why you would think that. Garfield had separate (i.e., "segregated") waiting and treatment areas for black and white patients. Below, the "colored waiting room." - Dave]
Infection control

The flyswatter is a scream. My wife worked in the infection control department of a hospital and I can't wait to send her the pic. The lack of gloves is also a great indicator of different times.

Love the flyswatter hanging on the shelf support. The nurse is a cutie.

Don't think you'd find one there now.
Not segregated?

In 1924, I would have thought the hospital system in D.C. would have been segregated.
[It probably was. - Dave]
