Georgetown University is a famous place. It has a basketball team which is or was good at some point in time. If you say you went to Georgetown law people are impressed. If you wear a sweater that says “Georgetown Law” people are impressed and you didn’t even have to say anything.
Clearly, Georgetown has an amazing medical center. I went there for a while and received treatment for headaches from an 85 year-old who recommended I go on a special headache diet. The references for this headache diet were from 1979*. When I found this out, the only reason I returned was to spend a bit more time in my favorite waiting room…
When I’m sick I go to the Georgetown Medical Center to see a qualified professional. Signs in the waiting room are both functional and attractively displayed.
Vents are commonly used to direct warm or cool air into the room in order to make the room warmer or cooler. So long as the rust buildup doesn’t completely clog the vents, airflow proceeds essentially normally.
Vents are like two way streets, which is really interesting. Things can both exit through the vents (usually air) and enter through the vents (usually paper towels, small decaying mammals)
Attractive two-tone garbage cans decorated the waiting room.
There are always new things to keep up with in 2008.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t get the whole sign to fit in the picture!
Plastic flowers are an excellent way to make a cold room feel cozy and warm and dirty.
Custom 3D wallpaper uses an end-curling effect. This creates artistic tension: the curl partially covers up the pattern keeping you in a state of suspense, wanting more of that pattern!
As I arose to meet the doctor I noticed this decorative stain on my chair. I continued my day happily wondering if this stain was created by a liquid that might contain DNA…
*funny thing was I later ran into someone who actually used this diet via this book to good effect. So I tried it and it actually worked. Thanks doc!

Georgetown U Med Center just got a D on its ethics report card and has to go to summer school — see http://notionscapital.wordpress.com/2008/06/03/dc-teaching-hospitals-flunk-conflict-of-interest/
Hilarious!
Ew, gross!
I go to school at Georgetown med. It’s even worse than your pictures show. The school has some great programs, but for the tuition we pay, you’d think that they could at least try and upkeep the facilities. Also, when JACHO recently came by, they had to start putting people on unpaid suspension for not doing basic things like putting the time and date on the charts. It’s really kind of scary.
Cool pictures. Can’t say I’m terribly surprised at your findings, and unfortunately that are likely more demonstrative of the rule (rather than the exception) for the majority of hospitals in this country .
