This 1940’s operating theater light is taken straight out of a German hospital and re-fitted to fit regular incandescent bulbs for use in the home or office setting. It’s a unique lighting fixture that will run you about $4200 USD from Trainspotting. It’s unfortunate that this is so expensive.

This is how a hospital might be like if it relied on alternative forms of healing. [via]

I won’t lie, I used to actively watch One Tree Hill, up until maybe like 4th season when it got completely ridiculous. Clarence shared this video above (from OTH season 6, episode 18) where Dan’s new heart gets eaten by a dog. I thought the show might have reached its peak of unpredictability in season 4, but it seems like they just keep raising the bar…

This particular plate of food was taken at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney, Australia and is featured on this interesting niche blog of pictures of hospital foods from around the world. [via]

I was actually at the old Renwick Smallpox Hospital on Roosevelt Island this past weekend and snapped a couple of shots of the facade of the building. The structure looks significantly more stable than the last time I encountered it, and it now has construction material and supports all throughout the building. The former smallpox hospital is currently going through a stabilization phase that will ensure its place in the National and State Archives of historical places and as a landmark in New York City.
Another thing that surprised me this past weekend as I was visiting the structure was that it is now incredibly easy to just walk straight in and see the place up close. The fence that leads into the lower portion of Roosevelt Island was open and several people were just in the construction zone admiring the aging structure. I’m not sure if it was a mistake or not, but it certainly was relatively easy to get close to.
If you want to know more about the restoration process, City Room actually posted a video today giving a short tour of the grounds where the hospital currently sits (the video is embedded below).

If the small pictures weren’t enough, here’s a video of the Hello Kitty hospital maternity ward that I posted earlier. Some Taiwanese people are just as crazy as Japanese people.
Thanks Flo!
