Hospital stools for bed patients. A year or so ago Christian Steenstrup was a patient in a Schenectady hospital. As with most hospitals the beds are too high for patients to get in and out of easily, so when Chris got home he built a wooden stool, quite similar to the type used by railroad porters. Steenstrup built 24 during his spare time on his home cellar work bench and gave them to hospital.
