    In this episode, we're exploring a massive abandoned hospital in Madrid. Founded in the 1960s, it was a university-run hospital where some of Spain's most important research on organ transplants took place. By the 2000's the facility was becoming too outdated, and an entirely new hospital was built to replace it. Once all the operations had been transferred, the old building was abandoned, left to sit silently in decay.

    Can you imagine working at an old hospital, transferring to a new hospital, having to decide what to take with you and what to leave behind, and probably being told, “Just leave everything here, we’ll start fresh in the new place.” Literally patient records, lab work, medical supplies, expensive equipment, etc. They walked away from all of it.

    As a Radiologist Technologist i can surely say that this machine at 4:23 is a SIEMENS T.O.P. C-Arm Radioscopic Machine. A Radioscopic Machine is used for surgeries because its like a live X-ray. The surgeons and the doctors can position the machine and it will use X-Rays on live time so they can see what is happening inside the body and at the place the surgery happens. Unlike the regular chest X-Ray for example, that you take it one time and its like a photograph, the Radioscopic Machine shows live what happens inside you. Now the CT Scanner looks like a donut, and the MRI Scanner like a thick tube.

    Hospitals can still have imaging equipment left behind, and those devices often still have radioactive material such as Cobalt-60 left inside them unless they’ve been professionally deactivated. Unfortunately, in the past some people have stolen radiation sources from abandoned imaging equipment to do really bad things, so that’s why they sometimes care so much about security and perhaps why the police got involved. I didn’t see too much imaging equipment in this one, but they did have that Siemens Polytron cath lab in the beginning of the video.

And that first slide was a cross sectional image of someones lower abdomen. Showing the spine and upper crests of the pelvis I think.

    4:29 - That's commonly used for things like venous catheterization, and also for angiograms of specific vasculature. Angiograms are essentially images of your vascular system (Veins and arteries) . They're also used for cardiac or vascular procedures like placing stents in real time. It's not a CT, and it's also not an X-ray machine (It does use X-ray technology though). It's an in between of the two, but used for VERY specific reasons. They were the bees knees back in the day. They're now more commonly used in poorer countries due to their low cost. We have much newer ones that do a better job as of present time.
    5:27 - That's not a brain. At the top of the image is the spinal column, underneath it the two circularly defined objects (One dark/ One light) are the inferior Vena Cava and ascending Aorta. toward the middle right, you can see the stomach which has some contents in it. The rest looks to be intestines and random fatty areas as well as poorly defined hip bone.
    5:37 - Image of a pancreatic fistula seen using flouroscopic dye. Definition Via PubMed ""an abnormal connection between the pancreatic ductal epithelium and another epithelial surface, allowing for the leakage of pancreatic enzyme-rich fluid.""
    7:48 - "This hospital doesn't seem very out of date" - You're right, a lot of the equipment I see in the video is fairly up to date. Wouldn't be surprised if you were to see the majority of that equipment in modern hospitals that keep it around because it... just works
    10:27 - That style of defibrillator isn't used anymore. We stopped using that "paddle style" defib almost 20 years ago in most places. The machine it's sitting in is a cardiac monitor (Not quite an EKG, but works similarly). They way the two are paired allows you to monitor the heart while also delivering shocks to reset the rhythm of the heart. Back in the day everything was done on paper, so it makes sense that the monitor would print results for later review or actively used to monitor the patient during a code/ cardiac arrest.
    13:33 - PVDF membrane or polyvinylidene difluoride membranes are used in labs for various reasons while immunoblotting. Immuniblotting has a few different purposes (google it), but mainly for identifying certain protein markers in microbial life.
    13:46 - Gyratory Shakers are used mainly to culture microbial life in a lab setting. Still used today, but more advanced models are used obviously.

      Depends on the country, some place like Spain that depends on tourism for a lot of its economy is probably more likely to go easy on some trespassers so as not to scare off tourists, especially when they're just filming and are going to be polite and respectful like these guys always are. Their trip to China was probably a lot riskier because you never know if they might want to make an example out of you or if you make the mistake of pissing off someone with connections. This is Spain and a member of the EU, at worst they would kick them out of the country but I even doubt they'd do that, they'd probably just tell them to get lost and not do it again.

    it looks like the hospital was built whenever it was built, or turned into a hospital.

    That thing you guys were saying "must be an MRI" is actually a C-Arm which is basically an Xray machine that's used primarily during procedures.

The second was likely an Xray.

    Re: the comment about radiological equipment being abandoned while containing radioactive material: machines used to take pictures, e.g. x-ray machines (and CAT Scanners) use a vacuum tube which only produces radiation when fed high voltage on demand. MRIs use magnets, not radiation. Radiotherapy machines may use radioactive material like Cobalt-60, or contain a particle accelerator (another vacuum tube requiring high voltage); only the former are dangerous when not energized.
    What these guys found, the C-shaped device, is a fluoroscope. One end (bottom here, and it's been removed, maybe by a scrapper) houses the x-ray tube. The other, larger end receives it and brightens the image with an intensifier device, before showing it on the CRT screens. The old fluoroscopes sprayed the doctor with x-rays all around the direct-view screen (which, mercifully, had lead glass in it), and they had a very dim image, requiring that the doctor spend time sitting in total darkness first.
