Amazing how CLEAN it all is.....except for the floor...even the MIRROR is clean!!!

PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!!!! THE GREAT OZ HAS SPOKEN!!!!

Now, that's an awesome shot! The "secret entrance"...

It's also convenient to have a loading dock outside and a place that doesn't require stairs to transport the body in and out of the building, hence a basement or ground floor.

Thing- Most Morgues or other body storage facilities are in the basement of subbasement of buildings, to keep them away from the prying eyes of the living. As well as to shelter the living from seeing what could be a less than pleasant end to someone's mortality.

Serrena. Next house, I promise.. Morgue doors on the cabinets.

Lovin' the detailing on the hinges. Now /that's/ art. And the wood? It's beautiful. Wish my kitchen cabinets looked like that.

is that in the hospital basement ???

where is the morgue at ?????

That is what an autoclave does.

Props to derelict sensation. That was hilarious.

That tub is amazing...it looks spotless.

I wonder what all those gadgets on the wall were used for?

It feels like your teeth have been pulled right out of your mouth right after having such a thing removed, but I've only been in conatct with plastic ones... Have a mold of my teeth somewhere..

Before the 1800's the mentally ill were usually put into almshouses or prisons until people like Dorthea Dix sought to built these institutions, which were more like swanky hotels when they were first built, changing the everything. Lobotomies were first used as a major medical procedure in the late 1930's.

i'm not sure what the web site was trying to imply, but it basically talked about old ways that mental illness was treated with back in the 1800's. that was one of the things listed on there and it said that sometimes mental issues would be acredited to teeth and various other parts of the body, as well as using labotomy. pretty twisted treatment if you ask me. although what you have said does make some sense. if a person is impaired physically or mentally and they had an abcessed tooth, i can see why they mistake that for a fit or mental problem-so much was misunderstood back then, you could be institutionalized for anything
