667 Comments for Essex County Isolation Hospital

At first glance I thought it read 666.

Straight out of "Session 9". hehehehhe

I neglected to say that Mesothelioma or Asbestosis comes from inhaling or otherwise ingesting asbestos particles.

Yes, it is not cumulative. One particle can start the cancer that will eventually kill you. The older the asbestos gets, the more it degrades. Its danger is directly related to how much it can and has degraded. This is called "friability" as Motts alluded. Basically the hard asbestos such as that found in siding or floor tiles is not as dangerous as that found in soft ceiling tiles and the wraps around old pipes. The old lath and plaster construction and some drywall will have a certain percentage asbestos also. These places are extremely dangerous. One can't assume that since thousands of people once worked and lived here and didn't get cancer that you won't get cancer. The asbestos was new then and was not degraded. Now it is old and the friable stuff is very degraded in many locations. The more exposure to the elements it receives, the more degraded it usually is. Steer clear or at least research and heed that research as Motts says.

Indeed, you can say "biohazard"...and you'd be accurate.

Cancer research eh? I don't want anything to do with those tubes. Ever see "The Omega Man"?

I could clean that room pretty quick with a shop vac.

The ownership of the files is what is in play. Who or what entity actually "owns" the files? The hospital itself owns them so where do you take them? The files that are still in use are transferred with patients and any file left is a copy and not needed-so it is property of the hospital. Doctors make copies of files for themselves as needed or wanted and they are taken with them to their own practices or home offices as the case may be OR they are abandoned too along with the hospital/institution files. Basically confidentiality of files such as these just depends on how much power you've got. Anything can be for your eyes if you have enough money or pull. You can see for yourself how confidentiality is treated. lol~sarcastic

BOO! y'all...

Makes me think of the poor kids that were in here god, makes me feel so sad

I can't belive that this pic is real.... It looks like it's right out of Silent HIll. Which by the way is the most freaky game ever made.

There's just something so sad about this.

Chris........... What did it say about the 5 year ld boy?

This is my very first thought that came into my head when I looked at this photograph.

Here goes:

When the patients go into room number two (2); very few patients ever come out alive again.

I don't know why that particular thought was the very first thought to pop into my head but it just was.
