  • Our journey begins at the base of a mountain we are about to ascend, at the top lies a hospital built in 1913 and abandoned in 2003. Everything was left behind leaving the current environment the perfect location out of Fallout. Multiple operation rooms and many surgical lights reflect back at us while we shine our lights into the darkness. A full library of knowledge, a decaying chapel and much more awaits. If you enjoyed, a thumbs up would let me know right away. Thanks for watching

    In the medical field, books are only relevant for about five years because medical treatment and research develops and improves so often. However, old medical books are really fun to collect. So they could be sold to collectors.

    Gotta say your channel is the next best thing to Proper People. They win because of the photography work of course (hard to beat, they've got the equipment and the experience), but your demeanor and understanding of when to talk and when to let the building speak for itself is right up there with them. Keep up the great work!

      I was very common for hospital to provide housing halls or floors within the hospital up until WWII. Lots of times the hospital was a distance from town and it was cheaper to provide housing than to pay the nurses more. Additionally the nursing staff worked long hours and women didn't usually have families and jobs, just made sense.

    A number of hospitals I’ve been to have small chapels or rooms to pray in.
    The nurses housing was there for the original build of the hospital as it was a teaching hospital and students and staff nurses slept there. There are very few, if any hospital based nursing schools these days as it all pretty much moved to college/universities now.

    Appreciate your quiet respect for the place. It's a wonderful location. So glad it's free of graffiti, etc. I noticed in comments someone asked if you ever take souvenirs. The legitimate explorers (of which you are one) never take anything. They leave the place pretty much as they found it. It's still stealing to take something from the locations explored. Respectful people don't take things that aren't theirs. Very nice video. Thank you!

    Hospital explorers are my favorite of any explore. And this one was absolutely spectacular. Odd how parts of the building was in good condition. Whereas, other parts were decaying so much quicker. Beautiful campus as well. Thank you so much for sharing. Not alot of left over equipment, but great video regardless!! Your calm and peaceful demeanor during the explore brings an added bonus of which some explorers do not have. They have way to many people involved during their filming which takes away immensely from the affects of the video. Your voice is very appealing and calming with no unnecessary cursing or jabber. Great job. Thank you for sharing!!! 😊

Too bad you couldn't explore the house at the end more. Was surely like the top Dr's pad of the facility. That 3 car garage looked to be burnt at some point from the roof being charred & mostly gone.
