    In this episode, we explore an abandoned tuberculosis sanatorium that dates back to the early 1900s. It's beautiful architecture and open air floor plans were thought to be the only hope patients had to heal naturally in a pre-antibiotic era. Many of the antique medical equipment from the era was also left behind.

    I was a Western Union Telegraph delivery boy in my late teens and sometimes delivered telegrams to our local "TB" sanitarium (two blocks from my home!). Sometimes I'd have to collect for a message and the cash would be placed into an envelope and the first time I was going to seal the flap, a nurse said, calmly, "No. Think of where you are," and shoved a commercial moistener (a round sponge in a special dish) over in front of me. It strikes me now that we were never taught about contagion in school, other than quarantine for measles, mumps, and other kids' diseases. Spent my fifth birthday in a hospital ward with my leg in traction in 1945 and I can picture what this place looked like when still in operation. Wasn't too scary: a couple of pretty nurses came around and kissed me goodnight every night! Good video, guys!

    The mixture of HNO3 (nitric acid) and HCl (chloric acid) is called "Königswasser", a German term which refers to its property to dissolve noble metals like gold and platinum (which no other acid can do) due to its formation of so-called NO radicals (which are very aggressive to cause chemical reactions). Likely it was used in this context in analytical chemistry to dissolve samples which would be otherwise hard to dissolve. Königswasser is not stable and needs to be used directly after it is freshly made. I worked with it, and would only handle it inside well vented hoods since it forms a lot of nitric gases. The solution does not attack glass, so it makes sense to keep it in this bottle temporarily while using it. Amazing that the label stayed intact for so long!

      Interesting I decided to look this up you are on to something however I noticed another thing. Another name for this is aqua regia and it can be used to clean nmr tubes or break down gold. Now aqua regia is a very dark color If it is used to brake down gold it turns to a lighter yellow color called chloroauric acid which might also be here. Assume it is possible they dissolved the gold fillings and other things from the patients. Its a long shot but that could be gold laying on the ground. By no means am I a chemist though and it is hard to identify something by color alone.

    18:13 the harry potter points tracker is definitely an ion exchanger. The columns are filled with a resin (the orange stuff) and it is usually used to make de-ionized water. The caustic chemical is needed to regenerate the resin. Too bad it is broken, looks like some residual water froze and cracked the glass. Modern exchangers often use mixed bed resin instead of two separate columns.

It’s amazing how long those bacteria - and in this case I’m talking about Mycobacterium tuberculinum, can persist due to the very complex waxy coating they secrete to make a little “fort” to hide in and wait out long long long periods of time.

    The long tubes with the solid materials looking like yellow sand coming off could have been used as desiccants. Caustic soda (NaOH) pallets or or other salts would serve this purpose. Possible they dried air or other gases for some usage.

      Looks to be using schedule 80 plumbing, double union ball valves, and regular braided flexible pvc tubing as the drain. The liquid was most likely pumped into the bottom of the tubes for maximum exposure to the red brown medium. With the ball valves the operator could adjust the flow rate to achieve ideal suspension / turbulence of the medium. The fluid drains out near the top of the cylinders and gets recirculated.

      someone else noted that it is definitely an ion exchanger. The columns are filled with a resin (the orange stuff) and it is usually used to make de-ionized water. The caustic chemical is needed to regenerate the resin. Too bad it is broken, looks like some residual water froze and cracked the glass. Modern exchangers often use mixed bed resin instead of two separate columns.

    I can only find pictures that medical equipment in my aunt's nursing textbooks (she took up a bachelor's degree in Nursing back in the 70s, and some of her textbooks are dated 60s to 70s.), especially the oxygen tent. There were two types: the one that uses ice and the one that uses electrical refrigeration to cool the air-oxygen mixture circulating inside the tent. The apparatus that are shown in 24:33 is probably a bronchospirometer, used to measure the pulmonary volume of both two lungs (the amount of air that enters the lungs - usually measured in ml), or a volume-cycled ventilator.

(BTW, I had to grin when I saw the shot of all the dust motes swirling in the shaft of light in your intro. There are so many people out there who immediately start freaking out about "ORBS!" every time a dust mote shows up, looking larger than life in the bright lights of the camera.
