Concealed in the ceiling of a room in the maternity room of Contra Costa County Regional Medical Center was an examination lamp. A door opened hydraulically and the lamp could be pulled down for use. The item below the lamp with a wooden back was a mirror so that the mother could watch herself giving birth.
