It looks like a couple of styrofoam coffee cups under the tornado thingy, I actually tried squinting real hard to read them to see where they were from.

I love the irony here.

You've heard of the green mile? This is called the green tile.

Nope.

Not womb-like at all.

Wrong Wrong Wrong Wrong Wrong.

I gotta ask, in the initial arial ( so spell 4 me ) the main building looks like it's 5 floor, and the water tower behind it looks like it's about 3 times taller than that. That seems absurdly high, unless they were attempting to fight TB with high pressure enemas....

Anyone ?

TootUncommon, I totally agree with you!!

Thanks Motts for another new gallery to see. Once again thanks motts.

The tiled rooms are where the messy stuff happens. Lobotomies, etc.. Guts and blood splatters can be easily hosed off the walls.

Steam supply left on to go leak in long abandoned buildings? Your tax dollars hard at work! :o)

Drippings from above is my guess. Those rails are stainless steel. (Contains nickel)

Beware of zombies in this area.

A false ceiling has been removed. Yep Ferdy, what I thought too. Plank marks from the concrete forms. This is the only hospital that I can recall seeing the "cow catchers" all over to stop things from hitting the walls. In the TB hospitals, PTs were rolled outside in their beds often. Sleeping outside in cold night air had a beneficial effect.

That towel was used to clean the sputum refuse chute, yes. It crawls around the place under it's own power.

Love the new gallery Motts.....great picture.....love it and love the old hospital galleries!! there awesome!!

Maybe this is where all the sputum landed when it went down the chute.
