On the last weekend of my travels through America I got a chance to explore a rather nice abandoned hospital. It has only been closed a few years but the decay has already set in, and there is loads of stuff left behind to poke around at and take photos of.

The first floor is pretty much ruined by the water used to douse a fire on the roof when a generator exploded not long after it closed, as well as metal thieves. However the corridors are fully illuminated by strings of work lights giving it a very odd feeling. Adding to the weirdness (and I already outlined this in the 'oh shit moments' thread), we were on the 4th floor and me and one of my companions were stood by one of the stairwells. From above we both heard an enormous crash, one of the loudest noises I've ever heard in an abandoned building. After a minute or so of wondering what it was we ventured upstairs to check it out as we hadn't shot the top floor by that point, and as soon as we pushed the door into the corridor open we saw that that entire area of the top floor - the corridor, and all the rooms leading off it - was full of a cloud of thick, choking dust. Something collapsed, or fell over, or slammed shut with so much force it raised a huge amount of dust up off the floor. I stayed up there just long enough to grab a photo of the cloud of dust before heading back downstairs as there was no way we would be breathing in that dust. My theory was that a door on the roof slammed shut seriously hard, and the pressure difference caused all the dust to be raised into the air, but I simply don't know. It was a moment that will stay with me for a long time though!

I'll get on with the photos now...

12. Most of the patient rooms looked like this but in varying states of decay

18. A baby incubator was probably the most surprising thing left behind...

As always, thanks for looking

Wow I am really surprised at all the things left behind, all the racks of what appears to be perfectly good medical supplies.

It would be interesting to go beck into the X-ray room with a Geiger counter to see if they had properly disposed of the radioactive source from the machines.

Awesome set man! It's really refreshing to see a hospital like this with intact medical equipment and free of graffiti. Excellent capture.

Phenomenal set sir

Holy eff. This is like a dream explore for me! Lucky duck!

This is absolutely insane. Fantastic explore my friend.

Very cool place. Thanks for posting this great set.

Awesome set! Looks like a great place to do some exploring.

Awesome! I was just at a hospital today that as been abandoned for over 15 years. It so bizarre to go from that to this place which is still in such good shape. I love all the equipment left behind, really a excellent place!

WOW!!!!

Top notch shit here!!!!!!
