    When ever I go to the doctor's, I go through all the drawers to see what weird stuff I can find. When I was younger, I thought it was hilarious to steal weird medical supplies like urine cups. I'd keep them on the back of the toilet (empty, of course). My doctor practices acupunture so he has all his needles, charts, and a heat lamp. Also the basic exam table, some have stirrups for gyno exams. Over the years snooping through the drawers I have seen gowns, panty liners, sterile sealed syringes, water based lubricant, digital thermometer ear thing, reflex hammers, protractor to measure how much flexability you have, pharmaceutical pens and paper. On the walls you'll find the stethascope, gloves, blood pressure thingy, ear check thingy with disposable caps. Back in the day, my doc used to keep his prescription pad on the counter but these days that is a big no-no.

    Is there a specific question you have? Let me know, I've been to a lot of hospitals and doctors...

    Depends on if you mean the exam room or the actual whole place. Apart from the labs and exam rooms, everything looks like a normal office:paper, pens, computers, copy machines, etc. Just special software to add to the computers and a sort of cash receiving system. It's very detailed.

    Exam rooms have the tables and EVERYTHING needed to perform a routine to even special exam. Usually everything is kept in all those cupboards and counters, or hung on the wall.

    Labs have special equipment for doing microscopic and analysis work on specimens. If they have an operating room, expect operating tools.

    Just think about your last doctor's office. Typical bookshelves with patients' files, computers, desks, television, waiting chairs, etc.
