The large metal syringe is actually used for flushing ears. Nothing sinister and still quite effective, even today. The large instrument described a rib spreader looks like it might actually be plaster cutters. These were the days before the little electric grinders they use these days.
Heh, I dont mean any offence to Motts or anyone else here. My old man is a GP and has been for about 40 years, he loves this site =)

I'd do the good samaritan thing and remove the lock, so no-one would get trapped..

Err. Non-conducting metal?

Hah the old abandoned mental hospital out where I used to live has a holden just swimming around in the pool

It looks like a small hydrotherapy tub.

Its disturbing to see the grafitti artists have desecrated the site. I honestly do not see their need to leave their scribbles everywhere. It is disgusting.

Dark and brooding, excellent shot :)

Beautiful shot.

A lot of morgue freezers frop that era opened from both ends, because on one side was the room where the body was stripped, cleaned and stored, and the other side was often the autopsy suite.

psycadelic one, though blood would have dried up, there is a massive list of pathogens that can survive excessive periods of time. One would need to practice utmost care when around stuff like this..
