Doesn't that mean that they have an isolated ground?

The green dot indicates a “hospital grade" electrical device.
The orange triangle indicates an isolated ground (the ground of the outlet is isolated from the metal frame of the device and the metal box).

Thanks. Can you think of any reason (other than Erby's) to have these? They appeared to be purposely added but it didn't seem like a logical area to have a bunch of "machines that go beep". Maybe a bedridden occupant or someone who ran very sensitive computer equipment out of that location?

Old folks sometimes spend their last days at home. They probably had a hospital bed and some other equipment set up in that room at one time.
