You'd think this stuff could be recycled. Or maybe fixed up and shipped to some third-world hospital that has no x-ray equipment (old and outdated by our standards would be better than nothing for them!).

Heck, this thing looks like the equipment used at a hospital about 15 miles from me. It's an old hospital with old machinery, and when I was in there, I kept seeing it as it would be whenever it was finally abandoned.

Eldokid, tell that to the company that made my "stainless steel" cutlery. That stuff started rusting within six months!

It's interesting to see the walk-in body cooler. Most morgues had installed the drawer system cooler, presumably to save space and expense. These would have been singularly horrifying to get trapped in. I wonder if there was an emergency release on the inside, like in the industrial food-freezers in restaurants.

One would hope the brush was routinely cleaned of its clinging particulate matter. Then again, when all is cold and quiet in the halls of the dead, it's too easy to imagine tiny bits of the morgue's last customers dried upon the stiff bristles of the autopsy-table scrub brush.

I meant to say... "went TOO high in the cooler."

A D, I was thinking zombies, too. Morgue alarm = Zombie alert. Heheh... but it makes sense you'd want some sort of mechanism to notify workers if the temperature went to high in the cooler. Last thing you want on a Monday morning in the morgue is to come in and find out someone left the door to the cadaver cooler ajar on Friday afternoon...

If that sprayer could speak... how many bodies had it washed down? How much death had it seen lying upon the table? Ah yes, my mind just works in those morbid ways.

Oh joy! A new gallery! Thanks so much, Motts.

Oddly enough, my first thought was, if you gotta puke, you don't have to get on your knees like you're praying to the porcelain god! (I admit, my sense of humor can sometimes be very... off.)

Also, being 4'10", if that WAS a crapper, I'd need a small ladder to use it.

Thanks, Dylan and Neariel. You got it just right. It's sarcastic humor, not a note from some poor child wishing for death, or whatever. It was originally from SNL. If you don't think it's funny, move along, but don't read so much into it.

Definitely not a helipad. Those are usually in fields or on the tops of buildings. If you look, though, the faded markings at the topmost of the asphalt pad look like it used to be a basketball court. So maybe the bullseye pattern was painted on for some sort of game.

The crib looks old, probably doesn't meet the updated standards for cribs nowadays. It's a beautiful piece, though and would look nice as an antique-y display. I'm pro-life, too, by the way... pro-keep-the-old-historic-places-alive, that is. Motts captures the last breaths of life in these old buildings with his camera... so he's my hero.

Those chairs are SOOO uncomfortable if you have to sit in them for an hour-long group session or something. Your skin sticks to the pleather. And the rigid sides are way hard on the arms. Still, these seem to be in remarkably good shape. They probably aren't much used in more updated hospitals, which may be why they're still here.

Thank you, Motts. Fantastic work!

This would have been a good shot for that exhibition on gurneys!

Obviously a much more recent building.
