That last pic is a heart breaker. :-(
Yeah you know that damn goose is just biding it's time to strike, lulling that kid into a false sense of security.

It's 1000% better than the original model. When I first started work at the County hospital we stored those in the basements for back up when all our Birds and MA-1s were in use (yes I'm that old). I got to use one. It was horrific. Definitely sad any kid has to experience that and one day that will be history.

is that a "modern" iron lung?....guess it's better than the thing you see in old movies where they're in a giant tin can, but it can't be any fun....

Yes it is. I used the giant tin can model. During this time period a friend of mind was doing research on Jet Ventilation which changed the way we looked at lung insufflation in neonates. It created quite the psychic dissonance with one foot in each camp.

People still have trouble opening their minds like this. When scientific emotion clouds scientific method.

Latin is dead, ok google......
So dissapointed in myself I was going to post the English version of this
In undergrad I was president of the dead languages club, greek, latin and sanskrit (vedic and pali). During my junior year I suddenly realized I was graduating and couldn't earn a living off the black market. Sigh...... reality sucks when you imagine what you will be discussing on your kid's career day.

surprised u never got into semi precious stones, they're is a big market for those. The languages that you learned would help cause stuff like saffires (sp) and rubies comes from areas that speak that language......just saying...

The languages aren't spoken. Probably the closest was ancient greek but modern bore little resemblance.

Most like any woman I was into precious and semi-precious stones. I like star sapphires (I have a story about those), fat south seas pearls and brilliant, to the blue, flawless, large diamonds. I have impeccable taste and no wish to wear them but I enjoy looking at them and the models that can wear them.
