The hospital that I worked in from 1971-1977 had this type of light. They were for use by the patients. Sometimes we would use them on patients that had decubitus ulcers= Ulcers of the body covering areas of bony prominence. Specifically as applies to bed fast patients. We would roll the patients on their stomachs and take the dressings off and allow the slight heat from the light to dry out the area before we redressed them. In people speak these are bed-sores. Dr's did examine patients with them, but if they really wanted to examine something in detail we took the patient to another room with better lighting or carried better lighting to the patient.

wish I'd gotten let go- :) I think they're pretty hard on you there nowadays

regarding permission to go to glenn dale - -

My friend asked the park policeman - he said No permission is ever given, not even for film crews.

hope that helps.

I've explored a ton of abandoned places and this is the only place I've ever gotten into any type of trouble. - was greeted with a park policeman w/ a gun when we left the building - - - to be fair, once he lost the whole gun pointed at us thing he was doing, he was quite nice and probably someone I'd have actually liked a lot had I met him in different circumstances. I'm told if the actual police catch you they're quite a bit harder on you, not sure if it's true. (kinda doubt it)



interesting place, not worth it. There are neater places without the hassle

Wow! I cannot believe I found this site--this is fantastic! I grew up in Maryland and used to drive by the Glen Dale hospital with friends now and then, just to get spooked--we were always trying to find fun things to do, since Bowie didn't have much to do when I lived there. Anyway, if "Busted" sees my comment--please let me know who you are--I swear I know you!! Otherwise, you had the exact same experience I had--we were driving down one of the driveways to get a closer look at one of the buildings, but then we turned around, and a cop had pulled up to us and told us to go to one of the other buildings. Then we all had to give them our names, since they said we were trespassing and proceeded to let us know that the area is dangerous and that the girls could have been raped, while the guys could have been killed (by the creeps that hide in the various buildings). That scared the crap out of us...lol

on the 2nd window from where the smiley is at is that a face?

Kids, Stay away from this place. You are going to get a ticket for ttrespassing with a criminal record/$500.00 fine. I know because I got one. Besides, who wants to believe in Ghosts? Don't you know that they are Satan's angels pretending to be real??? I realize this was stupid of me, Stay out.
