Maybe sometimes, I dunno, maybe not. Right now I'm not sure. Damned complicated questions.

The color green has a calming effect on people as compared to other colors. No doubt why it was chosen throughout this place. Makes me wonder if a an overload of green would have the opposite effect?

That machine on the ceiling descends to process the heads and extract the brains! Do NOT get anywhere under it!

Many of these places were publicly funded. If I had to guess, I'd say elected officials shut them down for budget cuts and quietly let them fade away. Employees are gone, expenditures stop, funds are shifted to the intended pockets, biohazard disposal fees are avoided, and the facility is then ignored. Later, after decay and blight take over, there is no public outrage when the "horrible eyesore" is then relayed to developers in phase 2 of the pocket-lining procedure. Their money did not equip these facilities, they have no reason to care.

Some old woman was into S&M?

The standard issue lobotomy room. Splatters of guts and blood all over are normal, messy body parts strewn about. Nice tile and big floor drains make for a quick and easy hose job between victims. Next!

I know Motts exists. And I am eternally thankful!!!

MamaToFive, you're still taller than me. I am only 4'10". And a half, but honestly it doesn't make that much of a difference. I have always said I should qualify for a disability, because I'm about the height of a 3rd grader trying to make it in a world of giants, LOL!

I have six kids, btw. Opacity is totally my escape.

the colors in this photo are amazing! love it.

I don't think a clinic, or even a vet's office, is going to want to try and utilize this cancer-causing monster. As Princessica said, this thing is so obsolete it should have those big radiation signs all over it, right next to the skull-and-crossbones placards. As much as it seems a shame that equipment sits and rusts away in these abandoned facilities, some of the machinery is better off out of service.

A machine that one kept people alive... abandoned now, unappreciated and forgotten.

I'd hope they never had to evacuate that place in a hurry. There's barely any room to move along the walls... it would have been a crush of people.

That looks very... slimy and slippery. I think we have a classic case of bucket fail going on here.

You never need to leave because everything is on site.........!!!

All that endless green tile is creepy. Great gallery!!
