Looks like a Francesca Woodman photo.

Unbelievable.h

I worked in a very old hospital in 2011(!!!!!) that had some hand crank beds. Fuck. It's being demolished at the moment, when I worked there it was 3/4 of the way abandoned. I would take my breaks and wander through the tunnels and through abandoned wards. They were all fully stocked with neat old medical equipment. Literally everything from chemistry equipment to syringes, mortar & pestles, morgue fully stocked but empty, etc. As a nursing student there is where I performed my first postmortem care & I remember bringing the body down through the tunnels and into a warm morgue that smelled horrible, horribly. Prior to the current demolishing status the property was opened but obviously closed, and I wandered around it and found a fully stocked hazardous chemicals poison closet unlocked on the property, hah.

Except it says "units" above, duh... Um..

The hospital I work for has long #'s because it encompasses the ward/building, floor, and then room number so they're all universal through out, perhaps it's something like that.

Curious as to what sat in the space they painted around.

I believe this ships name was max (in flight of the navigator) I loved that movie.

Ahah, look at that one baby mans belly button, it looks like a pigs tail.

I know some grown up, non-disabled people who could use these.

You know, Motts, I know this is an old gallary,.. but I was SO extremely interested into this hospital/ruins phase.. my grandma worked at the psych hospital in utica, ny.. the old main one that i ventured into so many times.. i remember hanging out and going on outtings with her patients.. shes no longer alive and a lot of her old residents/patients arent either.. now IM a nurse, and I've been ill enough to require psychiatric hospitalization .. and I've worked with some of HER old patients.. and It's just so numbing and eye opening to think I was so 100% skewed in my beliefs one way and now I totally think so much in the other direction and part of it was spawned by your photographs.
I think you're cool enough to understand what I mean but it's really surprising what most of your viewers have to say!! God damn. P.S. I push every single drugs ever listed on this site plus some. It isn't barbaric or inhuman... you try getting attacked by someone psychotic or mentally imbalanced. better to give an IM injection than to have the potential well being of staff and other residents at risk.

I was gonna say this before, but I didn't. Who the HELL would buy a house/property near a functional PRISON? I don't care if its minimum security or not.. Listen, if it was just the abandoned structure I could see that.. but it isnt. They must have plans to demo both? or the property/housing market is incredibly cheap?

..interesting.

Attitude is more important than education?

Or you could just punch the shit out of the beautiful scenery in the photo to the right? How asinine is that to hang a print next to a punching bag? Looks like it isnt in GLASS though, I guess.
