That is crazy how they just abandoned all that useful medical equipment. People were losing their lives due to shortages of PPE and this place had tons.
Yea its crazy to think about it now when we have a shortage of these supplies that are laying around this hospital and I'm sure many other abandoned ones.
This equipment is not useful any more to Western standards of healthcare. Equipment is probably 4 or 5 generation's out of date, and was not upgraded. Looking at xray films is not done any for at least a decade before the last hospitals moved to digital. Even if you used the equipment, I doubt any professional would want to, or even findca service contract. Same as you wouldn't expect a backstreet garage to service your new Tesla.
@@joemann2178 I think that all of those masks would have been plenty useful to the nurses and doctors who were reusing old dirty ones. When the pandemic was in full swing.
@asteinmann Ummm at the height of the Covid crisis nurses and doctors were reusing masks for days or using clothes tied over their faces. I am sure that they would rather have had these than nothing.
For those wondering, the entire hospital didn’t get demolished. The City of Plainfield approved a redevelopment plan of the former medical center a couple of years ago. This project includes a development of both a luxury apartment complex and a new medical office on the former hospital campus. The main building was just rehabilitated to allow for this project to take place. As of 2021, 1/4s of the building was used for the new luxury apartment complex called, “The Randolph.” The Randolph apartment complex has recently finished construction last year and the apartments are now available for lease. Meanwhile, the rest of the building is still in the process of being rehabilitated for a new medical office building to be opened, which is under the name of, “Muhlenberg Medical Arts Complex.” During that project, the older buildings that were next to the active emergency room/satellite emergency department building (shown here at 14:20) were demolished to allow for more parking space for the Medical Arts Complex.
This kind of exploration deserves more public presentation, showing how government wastes millions and millions of equipmemt and supplies that could be reused or donated / sell to the desperately needing. Exploration that makes one feel amazed but so ashamed. Good find 👍 Rest In Paradise Rebecca 🕯
@@hawk2156 ghosts and spirits and souls. Equipment x-rays, getting caught by the pole pole, and creepy, I was like, oh! hell no I’m not watching and I did and I loved it. Thank you for your braveness
@@faithford9143 naw my brother well my dad was a mortition and he worked with dead bodies his whole life and just got used to it at first it was creepy then everything got back to normal.
@@hawk2156 Yeah yeah, I think I saw an episode of this guy go into a funeral home and there was leftover dead babies there. And leftover cremated jaw.That’s creepy.
Great video as usual bro! Really appreciate your style and how you put these videos together. Also, when I get a notification, I know it's going to be a banger and not just a filler video. Quality over quanity matters. I don't really bother watching other explorers unless I'm scouting a spot but I definitely can't help but to watch every video yall release.
Haha thanks Joey, we really appreciate the support. Im also the same way, i def spend more time scouting for spots then actually watching the videos but I do enjoy the Proper Peoples. They make really solid videos.
So sad too see ,I'd be right down to the chemist !!! Make no bones about it ,sad the PPE ,think of all that equipment is still state of the art ,sad ,intriguing channel
1:15 fluoroscopic x-ray system made by Picker in the mid 90's. One of the earlier digital x-ray systems then. That large camera next to the overhead x-ray tube is the image intensifier where you do fluoro as a radiologist. Fluoroscopy is live radiation. It shows an x-ray video of your body on the TV monitor nearby. Commonly used for barium studies and cystograms. The x-ray table also tilts.
What area of the U.S. do you do your hospital videos? There is a hospital in Wheeling West Virginia where my parents are from that closed I believe mid to late 2019 the hospital name is Ohio Valley Medical Center Alecto Healthcare System in California owned/managed the hospital There was talk about demolishing it so I’m not sure if it is still standing and if it is not sure what is left in the hospital
Most of this medical equipment is useless now. At the time it could have been sent overseas to countries that need medical equipment which is what we do with our outmoded decommissioned equipment. Now it’s beyond use
This could end up being a fraud, waste this sure is not right if most of it was put in the trash. Good job keep up your documentary history maybe one day some one might go to jail for this waste be safe stay healthy
As a Healthcare Worker the more videos I watch of these abandoned hospitals the madder I get .... this is absolutely ridiculous. I literally seen red when I seen all those freaking mask.
Can’t believe they caught you guys somehow me and my crew always manage to slip away a New York State trooper once drove right past us in plain view did not notice us I surely thought we were done at that moment
From what we were told, the security saw them walking across the parking lot towards the abandoned hospital. They demolished it in 2020 with everything inside still.
This is absolutely ridiculous!! Besides the obvious fact those idol wheelchairs could be helping HOMELESS veterans & people who just need wheelchairs who can’t afford them Veterans on the streets can always use a new wheelchair! All those bags towards the end… everything in those bags 💯% sterile product! Whether it can be used for treatment after horrific natural disasters, or after another tragedy in the world. Idk how long that hospital has been abandoned. But when I think about things like the Tsunami yrs back. Hurricane Katrina / etc It irks me so much. The simple fact that when people have to use makeshift hospital beds out of whatever they can find.. after massacres, bombings, etc. Someone knows about THIS location & all of THAT product! Sterile sutures, needles, gauze, etc. Oh and not to mention the Radiography, BP, IV drip, etc machines I saw. 😳 It’s really sad it doesn’t work like that. Knowing there’s someone in the world when a extremely large group of people need help and they know about what is in this (& others I’m sure) hospital. Great 👍🏼 vid. Sry I went on. 😬 I ranted a bit lol.
X-rays you show on this video are as severely outdated. A film on hangers is been developed in a wet tank. Automatic processors have been used since at least the early 1970s. Today nobody uses film anywhere. It may be used in radiology but it should noted that it is WAY too old to be used today.
Quite a few times the pharmacy at either hospitals or medical clinics still had a bunch of pills left behind. One in Bmore was pretty cool. Couple hundred bottles of pills were left in there.
It's all extremely old equipment by medical standards, and I doubt anyone would feel comfortable using outdated non-serviced medical equipment on people. It's relatively inexpensive and normal equipment which has a limited life anyway.
I've been in many abandoned hospitals and I've seen hospitals with older equipment than this that had auction tags all over everything left inside. Usually, other hospitals come in and bid on all the equipment left. That happens quite often. There was over 250 hospital beds left inside this place. They are 1k-10k a piece. The beds easily could've been donated to other hospitals in need of it.
@@abandonedcentral there is scrap value for rare Earth metals in a lot of radiographic equipment. Vetinerary clinics sometimes use old hospital gear. Would you want to be diagnosed and treated with decades old technology that hasn't been serviced? New health and safety regulations and requirements make this stuff obsolete too. Just so you know.
I worked at a hospital, and 'ALL MEDICAL EQUIPMENT" is serviced on a regular basis, including upgrades!!!!. the only time medical equipment is retired from service is when the manufacturer no longer supports the equipment and replacement parts are no longer available!!!!.
@@gregoryclemen1870 I work in radiology, that equipment is ancient, probably gives you a large amount of radiation dose, and is not serviceable. There has been two evolutions in general xray imaging from, plain film equipment abandoned here in this hospital, to image phosphor plate computed radiogray and now digital radiography. Much lower doses and better images. There is no way anyone would use that equipment, and nobody trained in the last 15 years would even know what to do with it.
@@joemann2178 , I worked on such equipment, even back then the equipment had the ability to regulate time duration and intensity. all of this equipment at one time was serviced on a regular basis. "X-RAY" tubes do go bad and need to be replaced when the tube heaters open up ( rarely happened) or the unit would go into safety shutdown. I am glad that are a "SHUTTER BUG" , however I do not think that you realize just how expensive this "STUFF" really is, and the cost to upgrade to new equipment, many hospitals are hanging on by a thread, and many more will close!!!!. the hospital that I worked in, many of the "X-RAY" machines were 30 plus years old when I got caught up in a 75% staff reduction. the work that I did was contracted out ( electronics work)
This is my definition of WASTE, This looks like a “CHICKEN COUP”. Whom ever left this FACILITY like this should be Jailed For LIFE. Instead Local Police are making money because of intruders being curious. It’s sad & it’s a statement “WOMENS HOSPITAL”.....

awesome explore. since 1983 I have seen more of this sort of thing. Happy exploring
Thanks for watching!
it was a shame that this closed, the newer hospital is too small
The waste is unreal. No big deal when it's someone else's money. Smh
A really awesome explore. I can’t believe all the stuff left behind. Thanks so much for the epic explore 😃👍
Thanks JD! Always wished I coulda went back to see the rest of this place!

Thanks for the update on this property Elijah!
Wow! There was just so much left behind! The green tent looked so interesting
Great work again!!!!
Thanks for watching Claire! We found one of those tents in an abandoned hospital down in Texas. Not exactly sure what they're for?
@@abandonedcentral I may be wrong but I believe those tents are for children that have seizures and also those that sleep walk it keeps them safe.
Another classic. Keep up the great filming
More to come! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! Usually when this much is left behind, they auction it off. Not sure why they didn't do that here.
This was a private hospital no government funds used
That is the scariest thing to do. Is to go in a banded hospital. Thank you so much for showing that. That is crazy scary.
Thanks for watching! Hospitals aren't too bad, funeral homes are pretty creepy tho haha.
What's so scary about a abandon building

FRAN,
YOU ARE THE MAN. Great job Great find and luck was sure on your side that day.
Thanks for watching Sharlene! We def had some good luck this day.
So sad too see ,I'd be right down to the chemist !!! Make no bones about it ,sad the PPE ,think of all that equipment is still state of the art ,sad ,intriguing channel
I feel like 60-70% of the equipment left here could have been saved and used somewhere else. Thanks for watching!
@@abandonedcentral watch them all ,just so intriguing ,most hospitals in the 3rd world could use ALL that equipment

Dude great amazing vedio u filmed.u took a lot time to filmed this u have great talant to do this .
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching Jerry.
awesome splore! had me looking ahead for ghostly apparitions the whole time
thoroughly creeped me out
cudos
Haha thanks for watching! We weren't worried about ghost, just security and police 😬
Looking like something out of those old silent hill games!!!!!
CHERYL WHERE ARE YOU?!!!
Amazing place nice video
Thanks for watching!
I hope to hell the radiological equipment was properly secured.
Good stuff Fran
Thanks for watching Curt!!
Another killer video my dudes !! Fkn epic location ✌️
Thanks man, this was one of the best hospitals i've ever explored by far.
12:05 anyone know what that blue machine is?
it is a ventilator, for use by the anesthesiologist!!!!!.
Most of this medical equipment is useless now. At the time it could have been sent overseas to countries that need medical equipment which is what we do with our outmoded decommissioned equipment. Now it’s beyond use
Yea i'd imagine a lot of it is outdated. This place closed in 2008. We filmed this video in 2018. So it sat in there unused for a good 10 years.
Sell that ultrasound machine!
Omg I was born in this hospital and lived around the corner from here.. we called it "Killingberg Hospital"
This could end up being a fraud, waste this sure is not right if most of it was put in the trash. Good job keep up your documentary history maybe one day some one might go to jail for this waste be safe stay healthy
Thanks for watching Bruce!
they just Abandoned All That medical equipment crazy!
Yea it really is!
Any idea if it is still there?
What a shame, I'm sure another place could have used all that.
Yea it sat in there for a good 12 years before the demolished it.
As a Healthcare Worker the more videos I watch of these abandoned hospitals the madder I get .... this is absolutely ridiculous. I literally seen red when I seen all those freaking mask.
Can’t believe they caught you guys somehow me and my crew always manage to slip away a New York State trooper once drove right past us in plain view did not notice us I surely thought we were done at that moment
We didn't get caught here, another group did while we were inside.
Curious how did the police know they were in the building? Any idea if anything is still in there?
From what we were told, the security saw them walking across the parking lot towards the abandoned hospital. They demolished it in 2020 with everything inside still.
where i am in Montreal Quebec Canada all the stuff would be re used and not go too waste in all of canada that stuff would not go too waste
You're wrong again Jason. Theres several abandoned hospitals in Canada with all the equipment left inside.

They could've donated that equipment to places that are in need.
Yup we feel the same way.
Or even move some of that equipment to the Dialysis Center, Outpatient Care Center, and the Satellite Emergency Department next door.
All these videos remind me of a zombie apocalypse or The Walking Dead lol. 😅😆🤭
Very sad though with everything left behind though. 😥🥺😔
Wow
Thanks for watching John!
Wow money grows on trees I reckon in the USA
WHAT HAPPEMED TO "REBECCA"?????? ( she was coming up on her 31st birthday)
Yes sure they want too protect all that expensive stuff that goes too the dump later pff they should use or sell the damn stuff.
Yea they coulda sold it all back in 2008 when the place closed.
Lots of stuff that chould be sold
They demolished the building a few years ago.
Is that hospital haunted?
