Hi Stacey, I wasn't able to photograph the place before it was trashed, however there are images of the hospital in operation on the main location page:

I had two great aunts that were patients at this facility, one I'm not sure why she was there but the second went crazy when her brother smothered her son by accident, she was sent there and died there. I was wondering do you have picture of the hospital before it was ransacked?

GREAT pics and descripiton by yaggy. So much activity while an audience sits below absolutely unaware of all the sometime frantic activity just behind them.

I bow to you both - Motts and yaggy.

Oh, absolutely fantastic shot!!!!

I keep expecting to see Phantom's disfigured face looking down from the top.....oh, wait, this is ByBerry....not the Opera house. :-)

To continue on...sorry for two postings....think of it like this...the laminar flow produces a 'curtain' of air that isolates the lab specimen from everything around it.

With all this said, I can't comment whatsoever what room this may be, but it really does look more like the hood over a stove/cook top than it does a laboratory hood. There even looks to be a 'grill' to the right side.

It may be a hood....but I doubt it was laminar flow. These types of hoods are very carefully enclosed, air is drawn through a HEPA filter, and then blown in a very smooth pattern/flow. The laminar flows are designed to protect the sample/specimen from the user rather than protecting the user from the specimen. I'd say this was more of a chemical/fume hood to draw things out/away from the user.

I guess not, Lynn.....but...but.... I still have mine!

And for those who don't know, the uvula is the tissue located in the back of your mouth, hanging over the tongue.....so.....I do believe this means the uvula is associated with both the female and the male anatomy.

Yup, Alex J, I think you're right....one can even see the back of the 'howdy' sticker.

Just have to ask 'mest' about the white shit that was found....I thought shit was usually brown.
