As I stated in the previous picture....these records should've been destroyed. Its really a disgrace that any records or patient info was left behind period. Today it should not happen but yet it still does. It is wrong!!!!!

I work with Medical records...Legally, Drs etc are to keep patient records for 7 years. If they are not going to keep them they either should be stored properly or destroyed properly. It is against the law to leave patient records for all to see. They should be burned or shredded not left in old buildings for people to find them. I think its wrong. I don't care if its 100 yrs ago or yesterday. If it was your records would you want 'all the world to see'?? Just think about that. Its wrong...period. Hospitals etc can be fined lots of $$ if records are not destroyed of in the correct manner. Even with records going on computers I don't ever see this being a paperless country. I actually think theres more paper being used. Anyway, old records need to be disposed of in the proper manner period. No expections period!!!!! IMO

Memories and stories from past employees, visitors or patients are gratefully welcome

If that lonely little chair could only talk.

Amazing they would leave stuff like that just laying around in a closed facility such as that.

looks comfy =]

I can imagine, however vaguely, how this elevator looked originally. The rust indicates that a great deal of it was steel or some other metal, and thus it was likely very shiny - maybe painted, but there really isn't any indication that there was paint here, so ... I bet it was so shiny! Maybe irritatingly so. :D

unopette which in a search reveals that unopette is a procedure used to determine red blood cell count to a very accurate reading see:

Was bored (went to look over old archives starting at the top of the list and going down); and this one just made me think that the dust on the floor near the bottom of the photo almost looks like shag type carpeting.

Overall I love the texture of this shot!

I've had the same nightmare as Lynne : ) Great shot!

This has to be your best "lone" chair shot. It's spectacular!

A "perfect" hallway shot. This picture has it all!

Disgraceful and disrespectful to leave patient records lying about.....You took a great picture, however!

awesome pictures:)
