Visits to
Russian medical facilities are always interesting. Staff are enthusiastic, and
interested in showing us around. Here we see a medical examination room with
examination table at the Moscow Medical Institute in Moscow. Supplies and
furnishings appear old and outdated, but functional. |

The
Director of the Moscow Medical Institute, was happy to show us around, answer
our questions, and pose a few of her own.  They are always appreciative of
books, lectures or supplies received from Americans and other foreign visitors.

This

Communism used to be commonplace but today it's rarely seen in public places. |
