Seven is not my lucky number.

Yeah, and most regular hospitals when you go in the elevator...the 13th floor is called "records" right on the control panel. Or at least it's that way at StonyBrook, Mather, and St.Charles.

Or some sick kid thought it would be great to take home #666, i know a few people sick enough to do that.

careful, i swear my typing is really off today...need more coffee

Just be care what you did up there friend.

Or a bite...

This one is very captivating.

I love the sky in the background, really adds to the place.

What is it about gray and dreary that makes a cemetary. I love going to visit my grandmother when the sun is shining and the birds are singing.

Very creepy shot.

As i've said before this site is extremely educational. Now i know what to talk about at tomorrow's spagetti dinner at my mothers! Hey ma do you know why graves sink? That will go over well. LOL!

I love this pic, another one to add to my screensaver. I'm thinking of adding some music to it. Perhaps Mozarts Requiem Mass would be fitting.

Excellent shot.

Some states and hospitals handle things differently.

State run hospitals did the best with what they were given. My great grandfather was an accountant for Kings Park, my grandmother used to tell me about how little the hospital really got. He met my great grandmother there as she was a head nurse and she would often complain about how inadaquate the supplies they had to work with were. So in the end the fact that these people got buried and that their grave was marked with a stone was probably more than they ever had in life. The fact that maybe, just maybe a nurse or fellow patient thought of them or shed a tear for them is more than their own families did...its something.

In the end, if carving a name in a stone means not being able to buy a much needed supply to serve the living...then there would be much more dead and a lot less saved or made more comfortable.

Just the way i see it.

It cant be a ghost, Motts scares them off. I could honestly see him yelling at a ghost for getting in a pic..."Hey your ruining the pic!" LOL!

But at least a good number of them were buried and more than likely had a proper funeral. If no one on the outside cared enough to pick up their body, what they had here was decent. The could have all been cremated. In my opinion, better to have a number and then people like us come around and wonder about them, than to have nothing and be forgotten completely.

Yes! Finally, that is beyond incredible. I love the shadow on the wall. Very Alfred Hitchcock!

Yikes, those old wheelchairs creep me out...those and old rocking chairs.

Looks like maple though, it might stand up if you sat on it.

Imagine staring out that grate day in and day out. That would make you insane if you werent already.
