Talk:Kingston General Hospital

INCORRECT PHOTOGRAPH
The image described as "KGH in 1920" is wrong. KGH is located in downtown Kingston, across from the Frontenac County Courthouse and next to Queen's University. King Street, a major thoroughfare, runs between KGH and Lake Ontario. All of these landmarks are missing from your image.

The photograph you are showing is of the former Rockwood Mental Asylum (now closed), which is located approximately one kilometre west of KGH along the Lake Ontario shoreline. Besides the very different architecture from KGH, another dead giveaway is the coal dock, built to supply the Rockwood heating and power plant as the hospital was originally outside city limits. KGH has no such dock.

Incorrect and invalid date
The statement: "'In 1886, KGH became the first Canadian hospital to purchase x-ray apparatus for medical use.'" is incorrect and not possible. The discovery of X-rays occurred in 1896 by Roentgen and were unknown to the world in 1886. In North American, X-ray apparatus was not commercially available until 1896-1897.
