Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Time and Thomas Waring: A Study of a Man The operating theatre was lighted from the north end by a large window which was also partly a skylight. Under the window stood radiators. The chief aspect of the place was one of intense and scrupulous cleanliness. The walls were of white and gleaming tiles: bright metal work glittered. On the left there were standing basins of white ware against the wall. The floor was of a close grey concrete. Near the standing basins there was a brass structure. By this were boilers of nickel with cold and hot sterilized water in them. To the right was a glass cupboard with shining instruments in it. Above it in the wall an electric fan was running. On the other side of the room there was the big sterilizer. Puffs and jets of steam rose from it but did not reach far, for the temperature of the room was almost eighty degrees. On a shelf nearer the window were large bottles of disinfectants: perchloride of mercury, coloured blue with methylene; and biniodide, coloured pink with eosin. They gave a strange note of colour, though there was something sinister about them. In the very middle of the room, closer to the window, stood a long narrow table with a folded blanket and rubber sheets on it. It was made of shining polished copper, which gave it a peculiar aspect. This was the operating-table, with its screws and adjustments. At its head there stood a stool for the anæsthetist.
