I was born in that hospital in 1963 so of course I'm glued to this, and thank you.
wow
That's cool.
Yeah
Amazing that you remember that
@@Danica_Sue_Patrick I was told it, that's where I popped out. what was your first memory of anything? mine is a third person dream of being in a baby seat in the back seat of a car, or maybe it wasn't a dream?
Abandoned hospitals always make my mind wander and I dont know why. Makes me think of all the people who has been in and out of them. Some times they never go back home. I don't know, it makes me think.
Me too
HBO chambers have many uses.
We have one in South Bend that can be used for divers if needed.
But they see much more action in wound care and circulatory issues. The chamber significantly increases the amount of oxygen the blood can carry, getting it deeper into tissues compromised by burns, wounds or poor circulation.
Can mean the difference between salvaging a limb and amputation.
south bend indiana?
@@JackIsGiant yes. Well, Mishawaka actually.
This is correct. I've been going to wound care for the past few months as I'm healing from major surgeries and a skin graft from cancer removal. Nope, not skin cancer. I haven't been in one, just been to the office.
So you might end up in Bend if you get the bends lol.
@@CellBlok69wLamphope your recovery is going well
Such a shame to see these beautiful old buildings go to ruin. Be safe guys.
11:44 Whoever did this, did it in anticipation of the Proper People visiting this site. Perhaps they wanted to show that chairs could do more than just chill, they can apparently also do cheer-squad formations.
"Chairs just cheering!"
Another enjoyable video gentlemen! Since you have mentioned that at it can sometimes be months or even years after filming before you edit, narrate and finish a story, I find myself looking for clues as to when it may have been filmed. Would you consider adding an end credit “Filmed (or recorded )March 2023” to satisfy us that are curious?
Good idea
Especially when "It's waiting redevelopment." or "scheduled for demolition."
I think one of the reasons for that was to also keep themselves safe from trespassing consequences, adding an exact date to their videos might defeat the point.
@@bewwie9067 Agreed, exact date could theoretically be problematic. I was suggesting month and year, but even just year would be a bit informative.
@@bewwie9067 Ah! Hadn't thought of that! good point.
At 4:24 there was an old electric fan sitting on the table in one of the rooms. Thank you for giving a clear picture of that fan. I am a vintage electric fan collector and I hope someone rescued it before the building was torn down.
There aren't any plans to tear down these buildings they went through.
Bro is a vintage electric fan collector, and that is genuinely surprisingly believable and something I'd probably do at some point too.
@@IndianaNorthWestern I guess you can say he's a really big... fan... of them 😆
Cool, I lived next to this hospital for a couple years while they were demolishing it. The morning they set off the explosives on it, I was sleeping and thought I dreamed an explosion, only realized it later.
How long ago was it demolished?
@@tre_315 2015
@@tre_315 They demolished a big part of it in 2015, but not all of it.
damn
The hyperbaric chamber would have been used to treat severe wounds and burns as well as decompression sickness. The small "pass through" next to the control panel could be used to pass small items into the main chamber. You put an item in, close the door then pressurize the pass through to the same pressure as the main chamber. Then the inner door can be opened and the item removed. The outer chamber on the main chamber serves the same purpose only for large objects or people.
As a plumber, who’s known the field a lot of times when you remodel old buildings, it’s a bear to get your chiller Lines in in the plumbing and sometimes you have to do stuff like that and able to do it
So much decay in there and yet the chamber was pristine.
Maybe someone's been using it.
@@rikiishitoru8885 😬
Being a diver, the inside of a hyperbaric chamber is nothing I ever want to experience. Thank you for finding it and showing it off though. I was always curious, but not that curious.
There is a large abandoned mental institution in Norman Oklahoma. The institution used to be fully self sufficient, even having their own farm. It is a very interesting story you should check it out!
11:20 I just think those chaires were tired of chilling all day and started to play some acrobatics.
It was like that scene with the kitchen chairs in Poltergeist
They thereby became seats of controversy!
I’m an underwater welder and salvor and I spend a lot of time in hyperbaric chambers during decompression. Pretty awesome to see.
Hey man just as long as no one opens that beotch before its depressurized... I'm sure you've seen the photos of what was left of that guy that got sucked out of the chamber on that oil rig... goddamned jigsaw puzzle trying to piece him back together with major pieces never located... like an entire leg.
I've worked on rigs for 15 years on land wouldn't mind getting into offshore stuff if the money was right, being in the pitch black ocean seems unsettling though maybe I'll just stick to the dry stuff. Stay safe man.
@@jlo7770the night sky must be awesome though. The ones in the ocean seem pretty well lit so that might block the sky a bit…
@@roadchewerpe5759 I've saw a video of a guy that threw an orange off an offshore rig and it disappeared into the night within a second... Def an eerie feeling I'm sure especially if you're the only rig in the area. On the other side I live in a clean as far as light pollution goes (for the most part, there's a lot of flares that do polute the night sky) so I get to see the sky any night it's not overcast.
That looks like a typical upstate NY neighborhood from the glimpse out the window. Love the old houses from that area.
It's pretty wild how much of an impact air conditioning and heating have on the health of buildings. Once you shut them off, the decay starts.
And the mold grows
true.
It is not a two stage pressurization. The smaller chamber is an airlock just like on the ISS. If the main chamber is pressurized and you need to get someone in or out, they can sit in the smaller chamber, the air lock, and either pressurize or depressurize without doing it to the whole main tank. And the little tube at the back not a separate pressure chamber. It is a passage to the outside world so they can pass things back and forth from inside to outside and outside to inside.
That small chamber does seem to be a decompression risk? It doesn;t look like there are any safety interlocks - which means you need to rely on human operators!
Unlike other heavily destroyed places, graffiti is barely visible. The peeling crusty paint shows a natural and beautiful decay.
Soon the place might be covered in graffiti by vandalists and all the windows will be broken and a fire might break out, and I really don't want that...
The ivy in 10:06 is a species called Hedera canariensis.
It is a species that has pretty strong cold resistance and spends the winter as an evergreen even in northern regions, so it's a plant that actually gives a colorful sense of the season when exploring abandoned buildings in the middle of winter.
It was already demolished in 2015 wrote someone

21:58 "Phenylbutazone, often referred to as "bute", is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug for the short-term treatment of pain and fever in animals. In the United States and United Kingdom, it is no longer approved for human use, as it can cause severe adverse effects such as suppression of white blood cell production and aplastic anemia." Wikipedia
Hyperbaric medicine… a lot of major hospitals have hyperbaric chambers. They are used typically for hyper-oxygenation for some skin diseases and other medical conditions. As well as decompression sickness which is not only from diving but from rapid decompression of an aircraft.
NOT an Ironing Board ! A Phlebotomist armrest. for drawing blood.
That Hexano Optima jug at 22:24 cost about $1050.00 a peice
Always enjoy those moss covered rooms just something about them are awesome!
Finding beauty amongst decay.
Looks better than a hospital I went to as a kid
Reminds me of Portal 2, with the decay Aperture went through over 50,000 years of abandonment after the Black Mesa Incident.
YEP
Hospital explores are my favorite!
By far
Same
No comparison! Love is an abandoned hospital...
The moss covered rooms were beautiful 😍
11:27 The ultimate in chairs just chillin.
hahaha
A serviceable hyperbaric chamber is worth it's weight in gold.
I grew up in Buffalo. Most of my family still lives there and I did not even know they closed that hospital. WOW.
Another amazing video! Keep up the amazing work guys 🙌
That chamber is something else. So much good decay in there
the building is so breath taking on the outside, its a tragedy to see it left to rot away, i wish i could buy it and repair it.
It would take a massive amount of money and I bet the neighborhood sucks
@@andrewdonohue1853 still a pitty.
Awesome video as always Bryant and Michael. Y’all always explore the most interesting and amazing places.
This was a really cool video. So much decay and so much to see still. Thanks for being my favorite urbex folks! 💙
I really enjoyed this one. The decay was amazing. It’s always a trip to see mother nature reclaim its territory. Thanks for sharing.
Every time I see one of your new videos drop, I can't help but smile. Adventure awaits!
That Hyperbaric "Beer" Chamber was hilarious!
It's always nice to see an abandoned building with some stuff left behind, untouched by vandals.
I love these videos. I love it when you guys upload 💙💙 the hospital and Asylum ones are my favorite 💕 i hope to see you explore an abandoned mall again ❤️
Thanks again to the proper people for another great video keep em' coming and I'll keep watching.
Can't think of anyone better than these guys to take an urbex trip with, from the comfort of my couch at home :) Love it
Great video, guys!!! Well done!! Reminds me of some of your explorations from years ago!!!
I really love it when you guys show some cool old retro-computer like that. Great to pause and try to figure out the model and era. This is one of the things that keeps me coming back to you guys for so long. Thanks
Its like Christmas whenever you guy's upload
I love all the abandoned stuff. You do. It's amazing things you never think you'll see in your whole entire life and you guys do it well, keep going. And be safe and don't forget your masks and your gloves😊
Another amazing find!
Its been a long time since I was having a good week/weekend and a Propper People video was released. Usually something is going wrong for me but today is a great day. The only thing I got to complain about is some back pain but thats called getting old lol.
What a great way to enjoy my weekend.
Deco chambers are used for decompression illness from recreational diving, as there are many across the nation they are far apart and are usually at hospitals as they use them for research and treatment of various disease but are often found in hospitals within 50 miles of 'diving waters'. You are correct.
Thanks for the great videos. Keep safe.
I paid to use a hyperbaric machine recently. It looked like a one person submarine or that Titan that exploded at the bottom of the ocean. You breathe oxygen while the machine puts you under pressure. It killed my ears. I tried all their tricks to fix your ear pressure, but it didn’t help. The tech reduced the pressure while I tried to recuperate. Then he started it again. I made it for the full hour, but I only made it up to 2 out of 5 pressure. My left ear took months to regulate, and I ended up with an infection in it. It’s supposed to heal wounds and injuries much faster. Sportsmen use the chambers for sports injuries. I didn’t like it and didn’t go back. I’m sure it’s a useful tool, but it wasn’t for me.
Lovely! I really like the winter theme with all of that bright snow and bright light coming through since we're right in the middle of summer right now ;). I guess I'm always looking for what I don't have ;D.
4:37 it's weird seeing this type of bricks outside of Europe (mosty southern/Balkan part)
That desk with all the decay about 8 minutes in is about the coolest shot I've ever seen personally in the PP videos and thats saying something considering pretty much every video has some amazing shots of decay. Just so cool to see a pretty standard, if dated, desk set-up we've all seen probably hundreds of times just completely covered with rotting paper and decay.
I like how the way plant life, water and mold finish the buildings off.
Another great and enjoyable video. Thank you proper people
Crazy to think I've been watching your videos for almost a whole decade now, TPP. Keep up the great work! This hospital was really cool and I hope parts of it can be saved but unfortunately it definitely looks too far gone. Best hope for it is hopefully some of the antiques inside it can be saved before demolition.
Thanks for awesome video that place was awesome I enjoyed watching
That’s a really neat hyperbaric chamber! Your explanation was spot on! Instead of feet of sea water, we measure in atmospheres. Most patients are treated at 1.5-3 atmospheres, depending on why they’re being treated. But we call it “diving” because the pressurization in the chamber is similar to diving underwater. So, each session in the chamber is a “dive.” So not necessarily used to train divers, just part of the lingo. They can be used to treat decompression sickness, from diving. The pressure combined with the oxygen rich environment forces oxygen into body tissues, so it’s good for wound healing, CO2 poisoning, decompression sickness, certain types of infection, etc!
You have both outdone yourselves with the stunningly Beautiful shots of decay in this vintage relic! You should seriously start developing stills of your shots and selling them to frame......or maybe you already have. Some of the most uniquely interesting stuff in this video......really love your work!
Green chalkboards are in fact typically made of porcelain, black chalkboards are typically made of porcelain enabled steel.
I'm pretty sure the ones we had when I went to school were just big sheets of slate.
The Proper people be like, "It's on gLaSs."
"It's dEfiNiTely gLAsS"
@@ilovethe70s same! I was in school from '85 till '97.
I never saw anything else. But my Catholic School in
Syracuse, NY was the same my Grampa attended in
the '30s!
Love the way you guys do this!
As far as dual usage of the hyperbaric chamber, you have to keep in mind that those units aren’t cheap, and wouldn’t necessarily be in-use daily. So not every special interest is going to buy their own, they’ll work out arrangements to share, maybe even split cost, etc. so while the hospital might use it for medical treatment, NOAA might use it for training, etc.
16:48 that gauge was probably meant to inform the occupant of the equivalent pressure inside the chamber to being so many feet under water. Basically it would be saying “the pressure you are experiencing inside is equivalent to being this deep in water” which would help divers know how close they are to being back to surface level pressure and being done with the treatment. With the age of the building this machine was probably mostly used for decompression sickness (also known as the bends) but in modern medicine they’re also used for wound care and circulatory issues
Also the masks inside the chamber were for delivering highly oxygenated air to assist in recompression and allowing the nitrogen bubbles in your blood to dissolve better/faster
As someone with a mild fascination with open water it makes me wonder how long it took humans to figure out wtf was going... like having to use different mixtures of gas the deeper you go. Knowing how long you have to decompress during a dive while returning. I gotta imagine a lot of people died some pretty horrific deaths before they figured out all science that goes into diving at great depths.. its weird to think 500' is pushing what's capable for experienced divers and required hours of decompression returning to surface with different mixtures of gas to keep from dying.
It wasn't till the 1940s that doctors learned how to "reheat" someone with hypothermia the best way. Crazy to think how far things have come in really the last 80 years. Which also makes me wonder how much of those advances came from the Germans and Japanese in the 30s/40s...
@@jlo7770 I’d venture to say that the single biggest reason that we made such exponential growth in the fields of medicine and technology in the 20th century would be because of both world wars and the subsequent Cold War. I mean we went from using low flying gliders as reconnaissance tools to breaking the sound barrier in just a few decades. A lot of diseases also went from being nearly 100% fatal to having a 99% survival rate. We owe a lot of life saving tech to some of the darkest periods in human history and all we can do is make good on the lives lost in those experiments by saving lives today.
@@arianamaria_ oh the disease stuff was 90% the Japanese, they really really loved giving Chinese people diseases and giving them different things to "treat" it. Ironically even if they got better they still would kill them, shoot em, make em stand in a circle and throw a hand grenade in the middle, you know, humane stuff. The reason they got away with it is because it was basically just the Chinese and Americans who knew what was going on and the japs said they'd give them all their info if they didn't try em for war crimes, what a crazy proposal, shows how little governments respect human life. Necessity is the mother of all inventions as they say, and war seems to always bring out the best/worst of people.
It's just crazy to me to think about it in the grand scheme of things, like you said 80 years ago your life expectancy was pretty low if you had any medical issues, I suppose I've never thought about it the way you described, they died so that millions more will live. While I agree that's true some of that stuff was totally beyond helpful and was just sadistic. Mengele sewing people together, the other vile things the japs did that'd get my comment deleted for saying..
Yeah its just crazy to think about how far the world came in such a short time and now with the sinner net its just exponentially changing with the world's knowledge in the palm of your hands. Still think its funny that we (the us) don't know how to get to the moon and back any more, information lost to time, one of the most important things "accomplished" in modern times and we forgot lol. Have you ever seen the Russian space shuttles? There's a bunch of videos on yt of people sneaking into that military base and checking them out I thought it was pretty cool, if you're into that kinda stuff, people exploring abandoned places and what not.
I really like the way that hospital looks, the layout, etc.... that old fan and lots of the old equipment still must be worth some money and yet it sits there and rots away. I like watching abandoned videos of course but I notice lots of expensive things just sitting there wasting away that could be salvaged.
This is so relaxing to see, and very interesting!
Moss and ice, leaves and snow. This is magical!
The old school desks were amazing to see along with the pressure chamber. Cool find guys.
Damn so that thing is where goku and gohan trained, cool.
Watching Brian and Michael exploring this hospital on a cold snowy day while out side is definitely a hot day that chalk board a strange thing because it was painted with chalk board paint on glass😮
Great video. 👍🏻
That was funny and interesting how the chairs were. 😂
11:27 Stumbled across the Chairs Just Chillin' boss.
Is that your creation?
@@timflemming4christ No, but I wish.
Who makes the incredible drone music that always cascades in at the perfect time? Props🏴☠️
Absolute amazing work on exploring this place! really well done cinematography too! As a quick suggestion for you boys. Should probably bring respirators or masks, just to be safe. Never know what the air quality in most of these places are like! Much love!
I went to school in Cheektowaga NY, a suburb of Buffalo. One day the maintenance guys were moving a chalkboard panel and it broke. Was 100% made of glass. We were all very surprised.
i found this place on google maps a while back and always wondered what was inside. hoping to explore this some day
Nice to see you guys in my backyard. Do more in the WNY area!
Awesome to see a video 30 mins from my hometown
Thank you for making another video been a while
Like watching your videos
A very nice decompression chamber wow nice find.
"the place is really falling apart"
i know right, hope they do something before its condemned.
Wow. This was awesome.
regarding "jewett refrigerator co" a family named jewett lived in the Buffalo area in the early days, now theres a street named for them
12:10 holy moly this montage gives off some chills
I have meniere's disease and this kind of chamber is still used for different kind of hearing diseases. 18:10 You can even remove tinnitus with it if the symptom is very fresh! Do not be afraid of it if you are introducted into it and having a hearing loss.
I love your videos, but I wish you could post more hospital videos. Those are my favorite hospital and asylum videos.
A+ content here. Y'all always put out amazing videos.
its nice to not see any graffiti everywhere. hopefully the building continus to naturally decay WITHOUT any graffiti in it. also, that decompression chamber looked cool!!
17:25 That's a port where medications could be passed through from the outside. They would place something inside the portal, and the door would be closed. Then, it would be retrieved for use inside the chamber.
Hello, I want to tell you something. Your intro is so good. ❤
Amazing video thank you
2:39 I thought that medical dummy was a dead body at first.
Awesome vid guys! Looks like the chalkboard with glass behind it was just glass painted with chalkboard paint? 😉👍
i was boen here this is cool to see it all abandoned now!!!
You guys do a fabulous job! How irresponsible of the former occupants to leave all those chemicals behind. That was very disheartening. Thanks again for another great journey!
That slide of the head crowning sent me but just started watching your channel love it thanks guy
I think that chalkboard was actually a green dry erase board. That would have been a newer thing in 2010.
i thought this was Childrens' at first when they said Buffalo, I didn't think Gates had any buildings left after the big demo!
BRAVO !
21:30 I wouldn't swish the abandoned work... especially in an analytic lab, and double so if it looks like there are crystals forming in the neck of a bottle or under the cap. Blowing your fingers off or letting loose a little fart of phosgene (both from degraded solvents) tends to ruin one's day.
Coooooool !!! 💙
Hyperbaric Oxygen Chambers are use for a lot of illnesses, not just the bends from diving accidents. On the East Coast I would imaging they treated a lot of Lyme patients, but things like necrosis from Diabetic peripheral vascular disease to try and avoid amputation are very common uses for HBOT. Looks like it was a good place too bad it is now gone. A common theme in this country anymore.
Those chambers are the same as being under water you can’t just let out pressure faster than 30 feet a minute coming up or the nitrogen in your blood will come out of solution to quickly and you will get bent or die … awesome to see an old one
correct!
