ER: 1924
Nurse Grandma
The nurse is my grandmother ... still living, though she's OLD!
[Fascinating. Tell us more! - Dave]
re: Garfield
>> Not sure why you would think that
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.
Garfield General E.R.
Love the flyswatter hanging on the shelf support. The nurse is a cutie.
Flyswatter in an ER
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]
