DiMola Bros finds medical artifact on NYC garbage job
On my latest NYC garbage removal job, I found this medical artifact — a vintage Jones bedpan that says “Relax” in big, bold letters right on the front of the box.
I couldn’t help but think — if you’re using a bedpan, how much more relaxed can you get?
The description on the box says:
- Easy to Handle and Carry
- Form Fitting Seat Area
- Easy to Place
- Anatomically Designed
- Aids Free Evacuation
- Neal Comfort for Patients
