It's a nope fest for the ages folks.
That dust mask should be a respirator.
Notice the shadow of his giant balls.
You're always supposed to go deeper, right?
Medical waste bags.
A little late for this...
Nope.
Looks like a good idea!
To Hell.
Mama said.
You think he had authorization?
Summary of Notifiable Diseases. US Department of Health and Human Services.
Silent Hill anyone?
Stop. Hammer time.
X marks the nope.
Learning.
Yeah I saw this scene in Aliens Resurrection. Learned my lesson.
Balls of copper.
Operating room
Nice shoes?
Records of deceased patients from the 90's. I 'member.
More of this "pool".
Can someone in the field please explain this?
Hallway to nope.
Nice Chicago-style graffiti.
More of the pool.
And of the deceased.
Pretty sure it's the Necronomicon.
No clue.
Obviously.
HIPAA was not implemented when this hospital was closed.
Sweet chandelier.
Outside shot - this is right in the middle of a major population center.
Again, would love a healthcare professional to identify/comment.
Why does it keep going down?
Urbanity.
Incase of fire, use stairs.
Love the 60's green.
We get it, you pool from Hell.
Finally heading out.
Maybe the creepiest prom album in the world.
Survival of the fittest.

Some imaging scans are called nuclear scans. That might be what the door was referring to.

Fun fact: John Wayne Gacy and Hillary Clinton were born there! Chicago!

I work for an engineering firm in Denver. Recently got to survey a building that's been abandoned for about 12 years and has no power.

Loooove this shit
RadishIsAMeat
Aren't patient records supposed to be taken care of by law? Seems odd to have death records just abandoned there.

Surprised the paperwork wasn't shredded up or burnt. Looked like a great tour around.

Looked like a compazine suppository used alot for nausea with people who couldn't take it orally

Yaaay right before bed

Looks like something from STALKER.

Nuclear medicine uses radioactive particles that are either injected, eaten or put into the body to look at different physiologic functions
HandsomeAndStinkyPaperBrothersForHire
As someone who frequently partakes in urban exploration...this is a damn dream for me
Nickicipi
Looks like the pool scene with Moriarty in Sherlock
Thedailywumbo
Fun fact the concept of silent hill was taken from the actual town of centralia PA https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centralia,_Pennsylvania
Thedailywumbo
See the legacy section for pop culture references. It's a very cool place I've been there a few times since I live in south central pa
IGDetail
Trying to find a source but this is primarily true for the movie, correct?
Thedailywumbo
Correct
ilikepotatoesalot
i've always wanted to go there.
Thedailywumbo
It has a very uneasy feeling around the whole place, that and while you're approaching it you can see the smoke rising out of the ground
zerothoughtgiven
Home of the Graffiti Highway and Penis Trail as well

Naturally
RobBobertyYT
Those are some great looking pics
SFCrawNik
Why do we not just demolish places like this?
eromitlab
The hope it can be re-used or re-developed, bureaucratic red tape, asbestos mitigation before demo, just plain not wanting to deal with it.
ohcanadian
Money...
zerothoughtgiven
Could be a whole bunch of issues. First is always money then perhaps needs asbestos removal or other hazardous materials. It looks closely
zerothoughtgiven
Surrounded by a residential area so there could be issues with that as well.

how does a hospital get abandoned
DjNeHi
They build a new one with better stuff.
kirosharlequin
And just leave the medical records?
Chpgmr
well i mean, i dont think they the patients are gonna come looking for them.
kirosharlequin
But their families might
sirwinstonfatcat
Community hospital. It was never nice to begin with only a matter of time.
MrShpoople
It runs out of patience
TemporaryUzername
comment of the fuckin' day right here.
theforceiswith
It's actually called Edgewater Medical Center and I, too, have broken in and explored it. In fact, that fish stencil in #10 is mine... :x
OverpricedCrayon
Is that the one where Ashland and Clark meet? I live about 10 min down the street. I've been wanting them to knock that thing downfor awhile
theforceiswith
Yep. I live about a mile away

not really sure what you're trying to convey here...

Anyone else think this was the real world inspiration for The Last of Us?
GulDukatja
I, too, read dnainfo.com.
sirwinstonfatcat
But do you, too, quick post it to Imgur and make FP?
GulDukatja
No :(
DarkBusterBaron
What hospital that's a horror game
Heyyythatsprettygood
How long had it been abandoned? That looks completely trashed
bedframe
It's in Andersonville, a really nice area populated by gays too old to tolerate boystown. They're actually taking about converting it.
sirwinstonfatcat
It's Chicago so about tree fiddy.
mugglemomjsw
This needs to go to FP. Honestly, awesome pics!

It got there, by God, it got there.

Nuclear Medicine: think radiation oncology, such as external beam therapy or brachytherapy.
KillerTofu615
Nuclear could have been x-rays at that point.
What1977
no. This hospital isn't that old.
hewhosits
I think that would have been radiology. Nuclear medicine can involve irradiating marrow or inserting tiny radioactive pods to kill tumors.
pobody
I just had a nuclear medicine stress test. They object a gamma emitter and view its activity to trace out blood flow with a scintillation
pobody
Detector. And that should be inject, not object....
What1977
Nuc Med tech here. We administer radioactive tracers in order to do functional imaging of organs/systems.
TheRompingRaccoon
Also pharmacological stress testing sometimes will use radio tracers
polydipsiapolyuria
1/3 I think nuclear medicine is used for diagnostics in human medicine. Radiation therapy refers to treatments. I work in a...

2/3 vet hospital and we can treat cats with hyperthyroidism by injecting them with radioactive iodine to destroy thyroid tumor cells...
polydipsiapolyuria
3/3 which is radiation therapy, but to help diagnose where the tumor cells are, a radioactive compound can first be injected, and the cat...
polydipsiapolyuria
...can be scanned. The radioactive compound will light up the affected anatomy, and that part is referred to as nuclear medicine.
Saranghae89
Identify compazine? Antipsychotic. TX: anxiety, schizophrenia. Also nausea and vomiting. The papers look like logs. Medical professional.
imshibagel
Isn't records of dead people from the 90s then a hipaa violation on the state if it's an old public hospital?
psy890
The glasses next to them are to shield eyes from radiation.
lilbillydartos
Still used today. Abortive therapy for migraines in the ER. Also medical professional
Saranghae89
Yep!
theleafssuck
Nausea. Hence the suppository.
lilbillydartos
I usually give this IM with a few others. You're right as rain in less than 20 minutes
flaminggiraffe
Note the shape: this is a rectal suppository. Good for very bad nausea or non-compliant psych patients. Source I am a nurse and former 1/2
flaminggiraffe
Compazine prescribee. Worked great for nausea until I developed restless legs. Absolutely horrible side effect if you've ever experienced it
thelonepig
That sounds interesting though. What's that like?
flaminggiraffe
Hard to describe the psychological torment of uncontrollable, constant movement. I couldn't get or stay asleep for weeks
flaminggiraffe
It was pretty much all in my legs, but sometimes my hands as well. It physically tires you and your muscles out but then keeps you up. Awful
thelonepig
That's awful! Was it the urge to move or like, just doing it on its own? Parkinson's looks so exhausting.

red paper clip
notwhitetrashbrittany
I was submitted to the hospital twice with uncontrollable vomiting, compazine is the only thing that made me stop. Zofran doesn't work on me
spookyu
They ever try phenergan or benadryl on you?
notwhitetrashbrittany
IV Benadryl worked but only because it puts me completely out. But phenergan has little effect
Alanacat
Lucky you! During chemo, I had a bad reaction to compazine and all the muscles in my face seized up and I was biting my tongue. Zofran ftw!

Are pools in hospitals a thing?
Pandaphant
Yep, sometimes for leisure, but usually for rehab. Some will offer infant water session things.
bedframe
This one was for the nurses, actually.
Retardis310
uh....haven't seen it in ages, but the pool from hell...isn't that the pool from Constantine? catholic girl through skylight, etc?
sirwinstonfatcat
So right. That was an easy one I missed.
