Amazing place!
This is by far one of your best explorations. I really enjoyed this one.
@Emma Dondarrion you want to read my comments Emma as know lot's about medical sciences
NordVPN??! You serious? Why would you promote this disingenuous and straight up dangerous service/company?
I am New Subscriber from India. I Love watching your videos.
No graffiti and no vandalism...so refreshing and interesting to see just the normal decay.
Sadly you don't see much of this
Go back in a few months and see what kind of both is there.
It's on the grounds of a North Carolina prison, Hoke Correctional Institution. It was being watched constantly until Hoke CI temporarily closed in October due to staff shortages. The North Carolina prison system is a freaking wreck. A female guard was beaten to death last year at Bertie CI, which didn't sit well with prison staff across the state. All one has to do is see the state of the old hospital in this video to know what the Government of North Carolina thinks of it's prison system.
Indeed it is! a "treasure" as it were when you are an urbex explorer. :)
Guess my idea of refreshing is a little different. Sure as F wouldn’t describe decay as refreshing. Lmao
Welp, there are all the missing respirators the feds were looking for.
I was thinking the same thing lol.
If the govt just went to every closed hospital they’d probably find a ton of them.
Except the feds were looking for ventilators, not respirators. Big difference.
We Are BORG Thanks. Didn’t know the difference. I’ll have to look it up.
I'm always impressed by how they keep leaving radiological stuff abandoned at these places. Here in Brazil, in 1987, in the city of Goiânia, a clinic closed down and a radiotherapy machine was left there. Some scrappers found it and opened it looking for metals like copper and lead. They sold the parts to a man that, not knowing what it was, opened the lead chamber exposing Caesium-137 in the form of caesium chloride salt to the environment. Amazed by its blue glow, he took it home and showed to his wife and neighbors. People started to get sick and some died, including a child. So, not a good idea to abandon radiological equipment.
I know that story, I even heard they smeared it on their faces because it had such a nice colour. All of them died of radiation sickness.
Wow
X-ray machines don't contain radioactive materials like radiotherapy machines do.
@mjrichardss They didn't know what it was, I think they were from a poor suburb.
@mjrichardss Think of how dumb the average person is, then realize that 50% of people are dumber than the average.
(You can replace dumb with uneducated or inexperienced for a more PC statement, but the concept is the same)
Some of this stuff left behind deserves to be in multiple medical museum so future doctors and nurses can physically see how far we've come
That's a really great idea .
It's interesting to see the mix of old and mostly modern supplies. A lot of the stuff there looks normal to me, but some of it is definitely older and fascinating.
In multiple medical museum do future doctors and nurses can possibly see how far we've come
Waste of space, time, and money for restoration. Books exist to see "how far we've come".
The top floor must have closed earlier, while the lower floors were still being used. You see that a lot in old hospitals and department stores. The stuff on the top floor was way too old, the sinks and ORs would have been updated had they been still in use.
Hard to believe what only 10 years does to a place.
In that case only 8 years so even more amazing
Buildings sadly aren’t made the way they used to.
I am 76 years old and love your videos, I get a kick out of seeing you trying to figure items out as to their past use. So many things were common when I was a girl. I was a nurse in the 60s and love your hospital videos. Be safe .
The best thing about you guys is that you document but don't vandalize.
On one hand I respect that but on the other a lot of these places are definitely condemned so vandalism is almost a public service at that point.
@@Gr3nadgr3gory - Most of these old abandoned places will be torn down so documenting what they looked like, even in a decayed state, may be the only record that will be available for future generations/historians to see. Graffiti does not need to be part of THAT record.
A problem that is widespread is that some graffiti 'artist' (and I use that term liberally) don't seem to know the difference between something that will eventually be torn down and a more permanent/historical structure and end up tagging ;places that should not be tagged.
I believe that some graffiti is a true work of art and should be documented and saved, other pieces . . . not so much.
@@WarHawk- graffiti is different than vandalism in my book. Tagging is also not something I condone. Just the artistic graffiti i appreciate. Places that are falling apart with the walls coming down and shit though, i think the owners wouldnt give two shits if you managed to collapse the whole building. They probaly needed to schedule a demolition crew anyways.
they still could have just taken the polaroid camera or an old 90's or 80s pc to make me happy, i don't want to see old tech go to waist
Yea I would probably take some stuff from there.
Strange that the staff always leave a wheelchair posed at an artistic angle in the middle of at least one hallway of the hospital before abandoning it.
more like they move it themselves for the shot 🤷🏻♀️ ik your comment is sarcasm but still it’s pretty obvious
@@meadowp1983 more likely they werent the first people there, and someone before them had fun rolling around in it and just abandoned it in the hall way.
I do wish people would stop touching/moving/breaking/destroying stuff in abandoned places. Its so sad to see a beautiful house decaying but also so disrespected by visitors who came to see its beauty.
@@AdrianBawn I'm 99% sure that a previous explorer/photographer posed it, it's literally in the most visually pleasing "aesthetic" place possible which you see all the time.
@@WinningAlly lol "no touching or moving stuff" it isn't a museum...
Hundreds of syphilis samples, in a fridge that is no longer running. I hope you had hand sanitiser.
@Grozaaïmid The samples are long dead.
I wanna google stuff about how long it can live outside the body and if the bacteria can feed off each other. But i don't want that on my google history. Also they should have had those destroyed- especially since they are bio hazard AND have patient names on them.
@@neverloseyourvoice5263 FBI is not gonna knock on your door if you search for syphilis on google.
@@Vazquez12able no but on the slight chance someone may see it in my history when im using my phone. I choose not to. Its kinda like an anxiety thing😅 also if i become famous one day and someone hacks into my account. Ya know? It sounds crazy but my anxiety is like that all the time
unoPara it’s more like they don’t want all the strange ads which would start appearing on their feeds based on their search history
It`s kinda funny, these things are old equipment but here (I'm from Argentina ) in some hospitals or schools we use them, specially the electrical stuff
Yeah... It's quite sad that so many closed down places have all the old equipment in them left out.... Probably because not enough money and with hope of reopening but as we see on this channel - quite often that never happens.
Whenever I see all the things that could be repurposed or reused I just think "that's like throwing out money to the trash"... But I think most of these are probably legally bound and it could be difficult to get them into running condition... Anyway... Just sad...
Shows you how whatever the place or thing - has no value without people.
They often use old stuff at veterinarians over here...
I'm in the US and I was using some of the same equipment in 2015 in a state facility before I left. It worked fine. Sometimes, it feels like in America we get so used to having things and we don't see their value.
we had old stuff in our school, but it worked and did it's job, so that's fine.
Old equipment like that would frequently continue to be used in the US too if the place remained operational, but if it closes, usually nobody bothers to remove it to continue to use it. Especially stuff like the Xray machine that are literally part of the wall; it is simply not worth the man hours to rip it out of the wall, and you'll likely damage it anyways.
Two things I have learned from these videos. 1. The Federal and State Governments waste so much money not reusing or selling the medical equipment left behind. 2. The Federal and State Governments don’t care about your privacy by leaving behind medical records.
it is illegal to leave the records behind, and everything salvageable is taken before the building is abandoned/destroyed
I feel like a lot of the equipment that's at this place is probably too antiquated to be used in a hospital today. Yes, stuff like all the test tubes and lab equipment could have been reused, but I'd imagine it's probably cheaper to produce new test tubes than to go into abandoned medical facilities looking for glassware that could potentially be reused. I realize that the glassware isn't the only thing that still could be used, but things like the autoclaves, dental chairs, etc, probably wouldn't be up to par with more modern equipment. And as for the HIPPA stuff, yeah, that's unacceptable but pretty commonplace apparently. A lot of the abandoned medical facilities that these guys explore have sensitive records like that just sitting in a corner somewhere. I guess if someone is willing to risk getting seriously ill via mold or asbestos to see my dental records or whatever, they must be pretty desperate!
@@StormBreaker_Chasing its probaly illegal to trespass on the abandoned property anyways so any evidence gathered here for a lawsuit would be fruit of the poisoned tree.
@@mrmarkle7088
This applies especially to times like these....
You can donate the wheelchairs and medical tables and such to 3rd world countries. Every hospital they explore has tons of wheelchairs left behind.
That old autoclave door was like art.
I agree 💯
It is art 🙂
From experience of 30 plus years in demo and construction. You guys are not protected enough.
Trust me I used to do the same back in the day then getting into this work finding out the danger I was really in from lead to asbestos to mercury the list is mighty long.
Just a heads up guys
They have already stated it’s a risk they understand and they are willing to take 🤷♂️
Yeah the flaking yellow paint had me a bit worried!
I’m all for fun and exploring.
But most don’t understand the true dangers around. Let alone 30-40-50 years ago the things we used but didn’t really understand.
At best protect the air you breathe and protect your hands from what you touch.
Years ago my buddy went to a place and his hands were turning red and hurting.
He had found out from another person that others in the building a month prior figured it would be funny to pour acid on door knobs.
So now you must watch out for normal hazards but hazardous things others might have done.
@@mikesacco8457 containers read "biohazard" and guys just touching everything w/ bare hands. INSANITY!
mattelius
I love how some say.
We know it’s dangerous etc and we’re all good.
Until they get hurt and all hell breaks lose. Lol
It’s like. Gee let’s explore a big meth lab and lick everything we see. Lol
I'm no HIPAA expert, but I work very closely with Medical Records, and someone could get in several million dollars worth of trouble if those records aren't retrieved/destroyed. Any sort of disclosure that's not authorized by a patient (including y'all just looking at them haphazardly) could land whomever the holder of those records is in a literal fuckload of trouble.
Beautiful place, though. Really loved this exploration.
Judging by the dates on everything in the hospital, I'm guessing they completely abandoned the place by 2010 and nobody remembered to return in 2012 to destroy the medical records. Definitely seems like a catastrophic mistake on part of the medical record clerks, if returning was impossible, they could have at least transferred the records somewhere more secure
@@brosch91 Exactly -- I believe the records can be used without authorization 50 years after the passing of a patient, so, those definitely aren't 50 years old, lol.
and this was a GOVERNMENT RUN place and makes that blunder
Definitely was a huge mistake to leave those records behind
Those records are still in the building and are not released or exposed to the public. They are trespassing and come across them. It's no different than if you were to break in to the Med Records department of your local hospital.
I love how you guys are as fascinated with the age of the medical equipment as I am. Great job finding the date of manufacture on those x-ray machines!
7:09 Prison Hospital: "Let's make the ink about fingers last for 50 years."
N:OW CVS: "Let's make the ink in our receipts last for only 12 hours."
Two completely different things. Those printed papers apply ink to the paper. The receipt paper has a chemical in it that changes color when heated. After time, the chemical fades.
Idk why it angers me that they leave so much stuff in the building, those books could have gone to local libraries or schools, the patient documents shouldn't be left behind, if you were able to go in there, what's stopping a bad actor from getting them and using them for all kinds of destructive and scandalous things?
I would love to go to places like this and just salvage the equipment and shit.
Like I posted before it's taxpayers money the state doesn't care
The fact that those are prisoners or the people they belonged to are long dead.
@@marishiten5944 Nah, the records are from the 00's, those people are still alive.
Hello Bryan and Michael. I just want to thank you for al the work u guys are doing for us TH-cam people. I was a urbexer myself years ago in the Netherlands and it always give me a rush going in and document the building before it gets destroyed.
Just want to say thanks and I appreciate all the work u guys put in this.
Where exactly in the Netherlands, may I ask? I live in Amsterdam, and perhaps I don't have much of a keen eye, but it seems there really aren't many abandoned buildings around.
@@franzkafka7126 I think that due the COVID-19 there are a lot of abandoned buildings in Amsterdam, don't you think?
I live in the Netherlands and I always thought that urbexing (Idk if that is how you call it) was really thing here. Since we're so small and crowded, vacant buildings often get reused or demolished quite quickly?
“Lets put him in a body bag”
“No”
Benjamin Totallynotalt lol I just got to that part
You are such proper people, respectful and polite. Really nice video, as usual.
ironic
Brilliant pun, loved it!
Its sad seeing these buildings abandoned like this, all the equipment and tools that couldve been salvaged, and all the important documents should either be tried to be returned to someone related to the patients or be destroyed by professionals, I would so love to see places like this before they are sadly demolished and all that historical stuff in there is lost, videos like this give me a nostalgic and sad feeling, and i like it.
You can't salvage any of that. Who's going to buy second hand medical equipment? Hospitals? It'd be a risk to purchase any of that stuff because you don't know if it'll fail and you don't know what kind of neglect it had before being sold. It's cheaper in the long run to buy new and have a warranty from the OEM that includes a service contract.
I found a whole doctors office records dump in a dumpster once. They just throw it away. They are supposed to keep it, but they don’t.
@Lady Fairfax33 Medical records only need to be kept for a certain number of years, usually 7 years (longer if the patient was a juvenile or senior when they were seen). After that, they are just taking up limited space and must be properly disposed of. This usually means shredding or some other form of destruction. Simply tossing them intact into a dumpster is a HUGE violation.
Theres a shelf life on physical files. It depends on the company but most have to be disposed of after 3-10 years.
11:25 those are blood culture bottles. theyre loaded into a machine that detects bacteria in the blood.
If you guys ever come across a working hospital grade germicidal lamp, understand they are extremely high intensity UV-C (the bad kind). They must only be run with no one in the room. Running one and looking at it for too long will result in you waking up the next day feeling like someone attacked your eyeballs with sandpaper. Or worse, give you permanent eye damage.
Some of those exit signs look like self luminous ones. They use borosilicate tubes coated with phosphor. A charge of tritium gas provides excitation via beta emission. They can provide service up to 25 years depending on pressure spec when ordered. Even past their useful life they will very apparent in a totally dark room.
wow thats very interesting. Thanks!
Isn't phosphor highly dangerous?
@@chrisi7127 Phosphorus (an element) and phosphor are two different things. The former is hazardous if not properly handled. The latter is used as a scintillating agent to produce visible light when struck by electrons. (as in a fluorescent tube, or in the case with a traser/betalight, tritium). Phosphor powder is relatively harmless in comparison.
Even though larger trasers may contain which seems like very high amounts of radioactive material (Tritium/H3) as much as tens of curies(!), the beta emission is of relatively low energy level and such trasers are zero emission devices. (due to the gas inside the borosilicate tube) Unlike radium dials of yesteryear which are quite dangerous if not handled properly.
the creepiest part is that it was active in 2008/2009 and it already looks like its been there for such a long time. 2008 doesn't seem like it was that long ago
Now I feel old.
What is the nastiest foulest thing you have ever found in an abandoned building? Proper people - "syphilis in containers"
Never seen windows in an operating room....
Depending on when the place was built, electricity could have been added in later.
That piano playing was pretty cool. Gary Jules/Tears For Fears - Mad World
Oh my gosh I love you. As soon as I heard that I was like I need to learn this it sounds amazing
Finally, one of them can play something.
I currently work in a hospital lab (in microbiology), those bottles are blood culture bottles to check to see if the patient has bacteria in their blood. Those looked unused, at least hopefully they were!
All the medical supplies just going to waste. I don't know if I could leave it there.
Makes me kinda sick to see all this stuff just left to rot when third world countries are crying out for medical equipment like this, surely it could be re-used or at least recycled? Bloody waste if you ask me. Fantastic location though and NO vandalism whatsoever, love your videos guys you do a great job.
All this Equipment doesnt help a third world country tbh....they dont even know how to use it
Then they can pay for their own.
And no. Medical equipment isn't "reused". You have no warranty, you don't know if it works, you don't have any service records, and you don't know if there's a problem that will harm you or the patient.
Okay. Recycle them. Hire dudes to pull it out, possibly exposing them to toxins, then take it to a specialized location that deals specifically with that. You spend an arm and a leg doing that. The State isn't going to bother with that. You're clearly not American. That's not how we do things.
I could spend all day looking through records trying to imagine exactly what was happening when it was open
I have never been this addicted to a channel. Love yalls work. Yall respect the buildings and the stuff yall find. Keep it up.
once, just once, please visit a boiler room or mechanical room in one of these buildings. would love to see what they are like. thanks.
Actually would love to join to explore these abandoned hospitals as a med student. It’s quite interesting to see these old medical equipments.
17:47 Playing "Mad World" on an old piano in an abandoned hospital in 2020. Perfect match. 👍 And the green scrubs were for the operating room to minimize the optical after-effect of blood on them. Amongst some other advantages like reflecting the bright light not such much etc.
Thank you
Those newer autoclave doors had strong 70's feel to them.
time traveler?
Tuomas Haarala how did u comment 23 hours ago?
@@Floridamermaid woah.. this video just released 40 minutes ago.. 23 hrs?
Patreon things...
look at all those amazing black slate lab tables! super expensive!!
Right?! They should recover those tabletops and sell them! Slate lab tabletops are worth so much money! When they destroy buildings with those in them it hurts my soul...
it still amazes me when buildings become abandoned, the amount of item and equipment that are left behind. and some of the architecture is can be so ornate too. yet another good exploring video guys. cant wait to see what you have in store for the next.
All around me are familiar faces, worn out places, worn out faces...
I love this channel, they have the coolest content ever
Aidster X Ik right?
trueeeee
agree - totally!
@@sjm8650 - are you for real - or are you on medication?
@mama queen they post like once a week. for what they are doing that is pretty good. they have to get to the place they are exploring and edit the whole video. it’s not a simple process
I've been watching you guys since you had 42k subs. Congrats on the huge jump and evolution of your channel. you guys were using Gopro when I first started watching
Superb watch. How often do you come across syphilis test samples. It's crazy to me that equipment just gets left there. Especially with a ventilator shortage earlier this year.
Oh my god that first autoclave looks fantastic... Like something straight out of BioShock!
The stainless surgical tools and glassware should have been moved or sold. Many countries could use that to save many lives.
Modern surgical tools are disposable. They are thrown away, the metal is melted and recycled. That often cheaper than proper sanitization.
well, all that exploring, and you guys still didnt find The Fireflies
lol I’m surprised their weren’t any Clickers, Bloaters, Runners or Stalkers here
Just as long as we're not playing as Abby it's all good.
New subscriber, just discovered the Proper People. Have to say I enjoy their style of exploration. Other urbexers have now turned into dramatic TH-camrs who have an overreaction to everything. 🤣
Don't change your style Proper People 🙏
It's still just amazing how ... untouched this place seems, the medical information, the supplies left there, the lack of graffiti... this either must not be in a heavily populated area or so out of the way that many people are just not interested in it, thank you guys for posting this amazing place. I just hope this place stays untouched and nature takes it course.
they did use a train track to get there so likely very out of the way
Won’t b for long
A couple of nimrods have posted the location in the comments already. It won't be long till the place is trashed unfortunately.
The lab report for the person born in 1974 - that's someone who is (likely) still alive and only 45 years old.
46 years
What I wouldn’t give to explore this place myself... at least I can live vicariously a little through your videos. Super cool place, I expected a Silent Hill nurse to pop up at any moment
Watching these make me wanna follow y'all's footsteps and explore these awesome abandos, I'm from new Orleans and used to explore/hangout at the factory y'all set alarms off at all the time, I'm pretty sure the alarms were set because of a movie set they had setup in there, for the new planet of the apes movie.me and my buddies used to go in there every weekend, just to explore the entire place, I still feel like I haven't explored that whole factory it's big. I've gone too the abandoned Navy base too, the one on the river. That property is unexpectingly the least sketch abando in new Orleans area in my opinion. I've never had issues with cops or hostile people there at all. The Navy base is a giant facility, and the vibes there are nice. It gets scary at night tho. Six flags is awesome to explore too, it's still standing today I went about a year ago and it was super nostalgic, because before then the last time I went was with my family before they closed. Lol I always hope I'll run into y'all one day exploring, love y'all's videos the quality is jus as good as if I was there in person. Thank you for risking yourselves for amazing content, exploring is a risky hobby and I respect y'all for it !!
Oh yeah and I climbed the stacks ontop the factory, that shit is fun lol
@@braddlyswaggly Really cool finds, thanks for sharing
Had to laugh.
" Look at all these needles!".
"Syringes in a box."
"Look at all these I.V. needles. Right?"
"UGH! catheter needles!"
Collectively: " Ugh! Ooh! Definitely THAT SUCKS!!"
LOL
Every time they say surgical, Take a shot.
I know what I’m doing tonight
Few mins in and I'm waaaaaaaasted =)
My dad did.
And he died.
@@edwardfights4900 I wasn't being serious
@@MysticalKitty71 I was. My dad is dead.
Bro remember when you went to Aerojet Dade rocket facility in Florida I went there a couple weeks ago and bro you should have went and seen the rocket for yourself it was awesome man you could still clearly see the rocket just need a flashlight and that’s it!!!
Some lab documents like blood bank have to be kept for at least 10 years. They should have came back for them but there's good reason they weren't destroyed yet. Most other lab records have to be kept for 2 years, hence the destroy dates. Cool lab, looks like they did a lot of different micro stuff there.
Everyone should have a few cardboard tubes full of syphilis stored on a shelf somewhere, just in case.
11:25 Somebody's been there within the last 10 years.
how do yoy know?
The marking on the white tray
The Proper People are the Christopher Nolan of Urbex lmao
That's probably the best description I've seen of them
It seems that no matter what building you guys explore. You always find Christmas decorations.
wow crazy how they just leave biohazard things for you guys to discover, stay safe world
So then check a doctor if it hurts. Better to get checked then wait.
@Steven Gird ah, i see good luck with that
Steven Gird Those samples were probably dead after a week of turning off the fridge that they were in.
A lot of that equipment and new boxes of unopened stock , could’ve been re-purposed and used in other hospitals to save money .
Thank you so much for continuing to blur out the names of people that are found in any sort of books or just random pieces of paper lying around. Even if they are dead thank you for keeping their privacy.
i just wish after 200 years or something they get released or saved to a name, genealogy is hard when there is only names and no records of them. it's nice because then it backups / provides proof of the name.
i got stuck in few places becuase the records got burned up in a fire at one of the county buildings that keeps records. so when it comes to history and record keep, it plays the opposite then whats going on now.
just give or take thats my side of the story otherwise you may find information or part saying they went to this hospitable but you won't know if there a nurse or a patient
so for privacy it's great but record keeping it's bad
No matter how many times I see the date 2008, this hospital is pretty shocking imo (even without the degradation that happened after).
I don't think you would've seen this kind of facility in Canada around the same time. Most of it I would expect from the 1990s or earlier.
@Vashon Tarpon Interesting! Yeah I mean a lot of the equipment is really antiquated looking stuff, even the whole layout for like these massive 8-10 patient rooms and stuff, with almost no wall connections. I don't know what kind of care these prisoners would have had here...
@Vashon Tarpon it was a prison hospital so I wouldn't expect to see the newest and best equipment there.
I guess you haven't been in too many medical buildings in Canada then. Just guessing, because we have a 100+ year old hospital serving 600K people in Vancouver. Some of the buildings of VGH are wow, straight from the 50s with decaying facades.
@@Stylemaster911 Their care was definitely not up to par for the era, which is also a big problem with some rural hospitals in the USA, too. I had to go to a rural hospital in the middle of nowhere in Pennsylvania and it was almost all 1970s wood panelled stuff except for a couple newer radiology areas which had stuff from the early 2000s, but that was the newest stuff in there.
A nurse told me they had issues with wall outlets at the rural PA hospital I was at, so it's interesting to me you also pointed that out here as it seems to be a huge issue with older built hospitals! Even if they have new stuff, they may not be able to use it in most rooms.
Don't forget this is a Prison Hospital.....do you really think they would bother to keep equipment up to date^^....
I would have taken that body bag. That is too cool to leave behind.
Nope. One of the rules of urban exploration is to take nothing and leave nothing.
@@alexbhanks pretty optional rules
Thumbs up for the video! Been getting into abandoned more and more myself, Finding places like this is magical. :-)
You guys ought to learn a specific piece of music to play on every piano/organ you come across.
Classic government. When places close, basically they pack what they must and they get fired and just walk out, leaving it as is.
Thank you for keeping the information about where these places are located to a minimum. The respect you have for old abandoned buildings is very admirable
All these places are easily found online through very simple google searches. They're not keeping anything secret. They blur out the place, but don't bother to blur out names or dates on patient records.
it must be so cool exploring these places in person, I would love to do something like this but I live on a small island where there are basically no abandoned places
I used to work in a hospital sterile processing department. I can confirm that those indicators and big augoclaves are older but pretty standard. The 3rd smaller autoclave near the surgical rooms is sometimes referred to as a flash sterilizer. (Used in case of a sterile instrument or object is dropped or becomes unsterile and needs to be quickly resterilezed without going into the bigger, and longer time wise machines)
for some reason, at 6:50 i thought the dental office sign said "meth lab" and i was like wait....
I’ve recently discovered your channel and I’m so thankful I did. I binge watch your videos every day! I’m thoroughly impressed and amazed at the production value and quality effort that goes into your videos. Your presentation is amazing and your editing and music always make watching an awesome experience. You guys are my favorite channel by far and I appreciate all the hard work you guys do!!
I enjoyed your exploration of the radiology department. I worked as a radiology transcriber for over 30 years, including at two different hospitals, and even helped out in the dark room at one point, exposing X-rays, before they went digital. It all seemed very familiar to me, including the outdated equipment! By the way, if anyone decides to empty the buildings in order to demolish them, all those X-rays left behind can be sold for silver recovery.
Marble countertops in those awesome labs. I would love to have a lab like that. Just less decayed ofcourse ;)
18:31 I can't believe you where there and didn't play that guitar
The guitar is broken. I explored the place too.
The bucket was my favorite part. Thanks for showing it more than once!
Those respirators need "liberating" now.
Those things are worth a couple hundred dollars a peice
This Location is now watched Heavily by the State Highway patrol
Charges will be put against you...AVOID
i think that is because of how illegal it is to leave medical samples and patient documents around
not because of explorers
ALSO they are probably making sure people dont go in due to the radioactive samples
No its being watched because of a Facebook group I'm in in the state where this is to many people are exploring it to much
@@ExploringtheDecay for sng, what state?
Piano was in great condition. I wish it could go to a good home...
Your slow-moving shots are SO soothing and just beautiful!
Got some pictures from your site, the random pack, and one is from this hospital! Of the wheel chair in last video, and at end of this one
The costs in running a prison medical facility like this one in 2019 was a cost of 80 billion dollars of hard working tax payers money. I'm assuming this is one way of these places being abandoned and noone accepting responsibility for everything worth a sizeable amount of money just abandoned and left to rot, decay, be stolen, or vandalized. Which is to include medical equipment of all types, inmate clothing, medical machinery, and supplies, etc. The Federal government is responsible as being one of the most wasteful in terms of tax payers money being used on outrageous, frivilous costs and wastes such as these items left behind. It isn't their money, afterall. This is a prime example of pure waste after seeing what all was left behind to rot, decay, be stolen or vandalized. Such a shame when our schools are hurting, our teachers are underpaid, many law abiding citizens cannot afford medical care. But be a lawbreaking, con or a crooked politician getting sick due to their own ignorance and stupidity, as we've seen of lately and you will be taken care of with an exhuberant amount of tax payers dollars. What a shame.
Hey guys, thanks for sharing. But, the swear words are not necessarily needed to enhance the professionalism of your videos. They already rock without them. Just saying!!!
P€a¢€~n~£0v€✌🏻
4:14 literally the first time I recall seeing them actually pick up and mess with any object in the places they explore.
I’m pretty sure those were scrubs you guys saw. Physicians and doctors wore white while staff wore the green and maybe the other for inmates if I were to assume.
The "surgical room" at the 2:50 mark may have been a dialysis treatment room. The pipes along the wall may have carried acid for the machines, and those blue chairs are chairs that are commonly used for dialysis.
Acid?? I had no idea dialysate was called that in English, or at least that's what Google told me. Fascinating!
@@voidspine We also call it dialysate , but we call it acid for short.
It not only bothers me that these places are left to vandalism, but that the equipment meant NOTHING to them and would mean everything to me. The animals that could be saved with that pristine suction machine I saw… Ridiculous!
I would have loved to see what was on that camera tape! What do you think was on it?
8:50 You got ghost cameras and Biohazard .. All you need next is to run into pyramid head. Is this a survival horror? :) Solid vid lads.
Didnt know what syphilis was and I searched it up🤢🤢🤢🤮
Its what made the gangster Al Capone lose his marbles in the end.
I had to do a paper on it for high school health class. Quite the disease.
@@XSemperIdem5 what do you learn in high school health?
Hey!! TH-cam Proper people What really makes them all creepier is looking at the way everything looks so abandoned and the same time it looks like sort of everything left behind in the hospital like it came to look like a zombie token over😲😟🤫🙀
I really enjoy your videos, its like being there.
Damn for a minute there I though the piano playing was dubbed in. It actually fit the scene! Wow
"Gomco" stands for Goldstein Medical Company, the original manufacturer of the clamp used in Gomco Circumcision ,which uses a clamp and between 8,000&20,000lbs of Hemostatic force against the foreskin...😬🤯😭 .
"Shake one"...... "SYPHILIS!" "I ain't touching that!" The best exchange ever lol
I really like milk
I can tell. Your picture is a glass of milk.
"Milk, it does a body good." 😉

loved the "blocked out" Employee info from the 30's.
It's important to block out because it's possible to track people even with very old information some times, and because these are medical records, if they posted them uncensored they might still be liable for medical information protection law prosecution. So I'm glad they censored them, good thinking!
@@effluviah7544 that wasn’t actually medical information tho. Was records of staff
I don’t get blurring out the names and other things written down, it’s natural art and public history, why hide it 😂
Thanks guys another wonderful explore ive been in and out of hospitals all my life and i have nurses visiting my home to take care of me and a carer who is my best friend .. i hate seeing lung xrays as it reminds me of when i had pneumonia and a pulmonary embolism. I most likey would of ended up in a respiratory ward .. as a matter of fact i visited Florida last Novemeber as we always did near the holiday season from England and i ended up in Dr Philips Orlando Health Hospital with a horrible foot infection due to cellulitis. I am used to being in hospitals as if i want to go visit one for the novelty of it .. NOT lol. Any way i enjoyed this part 2 also as i did part 1. Thank you for sharing your wonderful camera magic and filming ... such amazing guys ... keep doing what you love and you are making a disabled lady very happy .. xx
