Maybe not so much tight-fitting as form-fitting Lynne...gotta love the stretch ones ;) ...Do regular medical hospitals stamp their stuff?

...and people think fake "prison issue" garb is funny.

Seeing as a hygienist named Marcia does most of MY dental work, yeah, I'd generalize fear to "The Chair".

lordy-good-heavens, this is quite something. (about the chipped teeth thing, OUCH, who knows what other unpleasant places that substitute dentist worked/tortures learned in dealing with small children!) That abusive incident aside, I almost find it amusing that dental appointments are what makes most of us batty and our blood run cold. :) ? -I survived 2 years of braces (revolting tasting cement & impression tray stuff) and as far as regular dentistry goes, my 3 or so small cavities were nothing compared to the week following removal of all 4 wisdom teeth (1 with a 3rd root) Nitrous-great! massive-scale antibiotics...sick after 4 days. Not bothered by dentistry, though...until the day I might need a root canal.

If it's not for laundry, what is it?

I remember watching A Civil Action-it was the first campus activity I went to in college (fall '02)

Any idea who owns it now? I'd like to buy the place and fix it up and live in it.

i recently re discovered the place.i would drive mountain bikes and motor bikes some 20 years ago on the paths.i went to the \medical building recently and was amazed how cold the air around the place is.it was a warm day but in the windows a cold air comes out and you can see your breath.i wouldnt hang out around the place often or long because it does have a feeling of despair and bad energy going on.

Why does the remind me of Silent Hill?

...unless it's a particularly hot day ;)

The white orbs...are also white paint balls...orbs don't drip.

This is a beautiful photograph, I love the colors and the peeling floor tiles.

...wow..!!!!!it's totally crazy....great gallery

I know at the state hospital where I worked, if someone were put on a level they would have all things that they could hurt themselves with (including a bra) taken away and then as they decreased in level they were able to get more back. So once they were allowed to have a bra again they first had to use a state bra (logo and all) because they didn't have wire and they were just made differently so that there wasn't a chance of the patient hurting themselves again.

A lot of sites have very similar windows with screens like this. It's really odd to me how similar these places are to each other after you've been to enough of them.
