lol, man the comments. but seriously, this is a big place

two words: holy cow. this place is huge!!!!!!!!!!!!

it would make an intresting cd cover and for once the graffitti is actually not that bad

amazing and i kinda have sweeny todd in the back of my mind when i see this pic

Did you go up them?

Wow It's looks so diffrent from when it first opened.Your photographs are so awsome nad sometimes give me shivers down my spine.Your work is amazing!

They didn't want sucide attemps there I guess.

Looks creepy. What caused that?

I have visited the hosipital a few times and needless to say i will NEVER go back. There ARE spirits haunting that place and the proof of about 20 grown men to prove it.

To understand what these things are, one must first get out of the "restraint" mindset that is commonly shown in horror movies. These are not restraints. They are used to move people that cannot move themselves. Think about it this way, you are a ninety pound nurst trying to move three hundred pounds of dead weight. Now tell me, do you need help?
The world of special needs also has quite a few devices to this day that look like something used to restrain someone in a horror flick. Take a look a a standing frame someday :)

Yipes, sorry I am posting so much. I looked at the photograph again and it is upside down. The hole in the middle is about where a person's crotch would be. A leg would be on the longer part to either side. There really is no good head support on these things, aside from the whole wrapping up feeling of the sling. all four sides and a few other places attach to the metal part that lifts and lowers the person.

Ah yes, it hooks onto a metal device too. There is a lever that you push up and down that raises it. A release slowly lets it back down.

That is a sling for a Hoyer lift. They come in all sizes and are used in moving and lifting people who do not have the ability to do that themselves. Welcome to my world, the world of a special needs mother. I have a Hoyer in my home to help with the lifting.

Why is the bartender wearing a Friday the 13's Jason mask? That IS a creepy place!
