Interesting thread.
I have a vague memory (any memory I have of when I was 4 is vague) of being in a room with a bunch of kids at Providence Hospital in Southfield, MI, the room had no beds, some books and toys, and a color roundie (perhaps a "pediatric waiting room" - I had skin surgery done the night before). There were no TVs in rooms with beds.

I have a 1968 19" RCA Hospital set with the CTC 27 chassis. It used a wired remote with internal speaker. In an ad I saw for it, they called it a "pendant"
When visiting someone at a hospital by me,(they were in the oldest wing) I found in their room the plug for the pendant still on the wall with the "RCA" logo on it and a newer Zenith 25" sitting on the suspended from the ceiling metal shelf. You could tell the shelf was made for the CTC 19/CTC 27 series RCA's as it looked as if it could support the weight of a car!

First off, let me just say whats up to captainmoody. I remember really enjoying a lot of your threads when i first joined but then didnt see you on as much. And you bring up another cool subtopic here...the shelves themseleves (lol) saw many many swivel wall mounts in both home and institutional settings like hosps and schools. Got a bldg in town that has an early 80s maggie on one of these, looks like crap by now probably ran round the clock.

In the late 1940s or early 1950s, this little 8" TV was marketed in the Detroit area for hospital use. Branded "HOSPIX", it is identical to the better known Arvin model 400T, except for the green two-tone paint job, the HOXPIX logo, and a headphone jack at the back.
I have no idea how many of these were made, or how widely they were marketed. It must be one of the earliest hospital TV sets. Anyone know anything more about the HOSPIX? OK, its NOT a color TV. My bad!

color TV use in medicine....
of course separate from the use of TV color or b/w for patients ... medical use of television ..especially color tv begin pretty early and color tv using field sequential systems began in the late 40s.
