591 Comments for Mount Sinai Hospital

That's an OLLLLD CRT monitor! If this place closed in the mid-90s, it's probable that this was just the monochrome green-on-black display. Dig that monstrous keyboard. That thing is twice the size of my son's laptop!

I would LOVE to have had the shelving installed there in the back of the admittance area.

Hell yeah, Canada! Or a side table in the living room... what a conversation piece!

Love the striped curtains.

Not sure I'd go with clean and sanitary, Ferdy. LOL! For an abandoned hospital, yeah it's in better shape than many we've seen. But if this was a functioning unit, I'd say it looked more like the King's Daughters hospital in Temple, TX. Still open, and far from clean. Let alone sanitary!

I've never been to Philly. I fell in love with Pittsburgh when I was there, though. For some reason I pictured more hills and trees in Philly, but I guess Pittsburgh is closer to the mountains, so it's different landscape.

This is a nice shot.

You look nervous and shy, Motts. Let me guess, she's a workin' girl and this is your first time...

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Sorry! Couldn't resist.

Motts, is this the location you beamed to for this photo shoot?

Again, I think of under-funded rural hospitals or third-world countries. Yes, the shipping costs would be astronomical, but surely some humanitarian-minded rich person would be willing to donate the cost of a shipping container and the associated transit. Somewhere, this could be of use. There are hospitals and clinics in under developed countries where desperately sick or injured people are lying on dirty blankets on the floor! The wastefulness of this country is sometimes upsetting to me.

Okay, stepping down off soapbox. My apologies, Mr. Motts.

It looks ready to raise its head, slowly, creaking on slightly rusty hinges, turning to examine the invader to its dark retirement with a dimly glowing vestige of radioactivity deep within its single black eye.

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 Or maybe fixed up and shipped to some third-world hospital that has no x-ray equipment (old and outdated by our standards would be better than nothing for them!).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

Motts Thanks for another Wonderful Gallery to see. Motts you ROCKS DUDE. Keeping taking more Photos Please.

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.
