So, a few weeks before I turned five years old, I came down with pneumonia and I had to be hospitalized for two weeks. Some of my earliest memories are of that time that I spent in the hospital. I was little and my mom could not stay with me at night. I remember being very afraid. But there was this one nurse that was a bigger lady and she was very nice to me and tried to comfort me. I remember my Grandma and Grandpa Brown came and visited me while I was there. I remember that I had to have lots of I.V.s and I got poked three separate times just for that. To this day I don't mind shots, or blood draws even, but I HATE I.V.s. 
If you can't tell from the nurses uniforms (which are pretty bomb aren't they- I wonder when they switched over to scrubs and no hats?), this all took place in 1980. 'Cuz look at the bed too! I think it's been awhile since I saw a CAGE at a hospital. Woah! Did you just feel that surge as you went back in time....because I did!!

Holy cow! What a picture!
Even though its obviously not the best memory ever, that shot is a treasure.
Oh My Heck!! I thought that was at least taken in the 60's!! That is a great pic and what can I say my mom is from Cali she was freezing always for many years here!!!

actually, Mr. fantastic was in one of those cages when he got sick. So they still exist. Maybe it was because he was in the PICU. But I don't know.
I love the hats and wish they still wore them.
I didn't know nurses really dressed like that!!! I do remember the hospital cages, I mean beds..
