Hmm, my parents are going to wonder why under "Internet History" it shows I've been looking at body freezers... o_0 XD
Anyways, yes, the doctors had no drawers. Sounds like ~Me's kinda place, eh? LOL

Actually, I don't quite recall. The room with the bodies was adjacent to the autopsty theatre...I'm not sure whether it was the actual morgue or not but there were a lot of bodies there.

The very tip of the wing that's made of the newer red brick? Nah I haven't climbed through this collapse for some reason, sounds interesting though!

Yeah this trip was probably the riskiest, I'm trying to be safer over there now but even so I had two close calls last time.

That looks just like the old gym we used in school, minus the bleachers. Amazing!

The hole's too far back to be useful for incontinence. It's possibly a comfort feature, similar to wheelchair cushions, to avoid pressure on the tailbone.

This is interesting. It is the old morgue from Detroit's Wayne County. The pic at the bottom shows a HUGE morgue - says they had space for 186 bodies!

Hmmm...I suppose I will think twice about eating pizza now. That reminds me, the pizza ovens at my high school did kinda look like that, and the manufacturer's name was Blodgett - I never found that name too appealing for some reason. I'm trying to remember the morgue I went to, I can't remember the drawers but I know they had a lot of gurnee-like table things with bodies on them...I bet in some cases they used those for the more portly bodies. As gross and insensitive as this sounds, I did notice that one of the bodies under a sheet on the cart was more portly. I think that since this was more of a university morgue (for studying doctors) they may not have had drawers.

'Snows,

Don't you mean "you are one of the few people to have ever made it down that ward. . . and come back alive to tell the tale"? ;-)

So they are very thin? I haven't seen anything like that, and I wonder how portly bodies can fit inside... where do you work, in a general hospital?
