Wow, all the "Soap dispenser" Kids must be in college . Sorry for that Mr. Motts, thank YOU for another beautiful gallery.

Thanks for another great gallery! Hi Debbie, miss you

It looks like the glass is all intact, amazing for how long its been abandoed and the fact that everything else is falling apart

I dont like the looks of that thing

I bet it would be awfully heavy if it was filled with coins

It seems like all the floors in this palce are wood rather than tiled

More dirt and filth. I wonder what kinds of bacteria are in this place

Creepy but interesting

These are also used in surgery for sponges and other stuff. Of course those are metal and can be autoclaved.
Used to work ER also and we used the disposible ones for dips etc.
Many years ago a young man who had not been provided with a urinal handed me one of these that was full to the brim with urine. I have never figured out how he did that........he was on bedrest and ordered to stay on his back.......? YIKES

The hooks probably held a cloth bag for dirty linen. Looks like the shelves gave the staff a place to have extra items the patients might have needed.

Maybe a dental chair

Probably used to create the medal "stamper plate" that each patient had. It was used to stamp the patient's name and account number on a charge slip for items used in patient care. This is a very old machine. We called them addressograph plates when I first started working in the hospital 1971.

In the "old" days cough syrup would be purchased by the hospital in large quantities. The pharmacy then filled and labeled bottles like these for the specific patient for whom it was ordered.

As always, VERY captivating, Mr. Motts! Thank you for giving all of us another "fix"!

Lots of glass area on those doors; Is the glass still in them? Kinda looks like it, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't all busted out.
