I have a couple of friends that work for the coroners office and the head coroner used to have a specialized kitchen set as the knife blades are longer, the hilts are better, and the blades are less likely to bind and slip than a scaplel, also there is no intention to put this person back together in the same fashion as a medical doctor in a hospital so it is not uncommon to see knives of this nature in morgues.

beam me up scotty. there's no intelligent life on this planet

Man, that would not be comfortable. Im sad for the people that had to go inside one. My great Aunt had polio but she didn't have to go inside one.

I've noticed that the water main is shut off in almost every disused building I've been in, probably to eliminate a leakage problem that could go unnoticed for some time. This would disable any water based fire extinguishing systems; I'm not sure how other systems are handled (Halon etc).

OMG, a glass IV bottle. I haven't seen one of those since Carter was president.

These labs must have been mass produced because the one in the old Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Dispensary looked just like this!

Looks like whoever emptied those drawers was in a hurry. ==8-O

A pulmonary function test (or PFT) was a procedure where the patient blew into a tube about the diameter of a paper towel tube. You blew until you couldn't blow anymore (sometimes causing the patient to faint) and the force of the air was measured.

That's about the actual size of the skeeters in Brevard County Florida. They've been known to carry off pets & small livestock. ==8O

Tread lightly. That ceiling looks like it's about to go. Mr. Motts, when these buildings are abandoned, are the fire suppression systems deactivated? I was noticing those fire sprinkler heads in the ceiling.

Ugly but fascinating. The lack of an operational HVAC system & the presence of moisture & humidity will sure do a number on a building.

anti-vaccine crowd should take a tour through here and all should understand that instead of winding up tubed and then trached on a "bird" respirator they could still talk and communicate-- "tank"worked fine and saved many lives.

No problem Mari! Make sure you check out the newer gallaries posted not too long ago! LOTS of neat pics there too, and inside jokes! :)

See ya there!

that's the new Sleep Number bed.

I work in a laundry and we have 4 of these machines, this one is in pristine shape. Most have been updated just keep the rolls and frame. Brand new ironers are close to $150,000, but you can grab one of these and rebuild it for around $25,000. With alittle upkeep they're last forever.
