      It's on the grounds of a North Carolina prison, Hoke Correctional Institution. It was being watched constantly until Hoke CI temporarily closed in October due to staff shortages. The North Carolina prison system is a freaking wreck. A female guard was beaten to death last year at Bertie CI, which didn't sit well with prison staff across the state. All one has to do is see the state of the old hospital in this video to know what the Government of North Carolina thinks of it's prison system.

    I'm always impressed by how they keep leaving radiological stuff abandoned at these places. Here in Brazil, in 1987, in the city of Goiânia, a clinic closed down and a radiotherapy machine was left there. Some scrappers found it and opened it looking for metals like copper and lead. They sold the parts to a man that, not knowing what it was, opened the lead chamber exposing Caesium-137 in the form of caesium chloride salt to the environment. Amazed by its blue glow, he took it home and showed to his wife and neighbors. People started to get sick and some died, including a child. So, not a good idea to abandon radiological equipment.

      I feel like a lot of the equipment that's at this place is probably too antiquated to be used in a hospital today. Yes, stuff like all the test tubes and lab equipment could have been reused, but I'd imagine it's probably cheaper to produce new test tubes than to go into abandoned medical facilities looking for glassware that could potentially be reused. I realize that the glassware isn't the only thing that still could be used, but things like the autoclaves, dental chairs, etc, probably wouldn't be up to par with more modern equipment. And as for the HIPPA stuff, yeah, that's unacceptable but pretty commonplace apparently. A lot of the abandoned medical facilities that these guys explore have sensitive records like that just sitting in a corner somewhere. I guess if someone is willing to risk getting seriously ill via mold or asbestos to see my dental records or whatever, they must be pretty desperate!

      Judging by the dates on everything in the hospital, I'm guessing they completely abandoned the place by 2010 and nobody remembered to return in 2012 to destroy the medical records.

      Whenever I see all the things that could be repurposed or reused I just think "that's like throwing out money to the trash"... But I think most of these are probably legally bound and it could be difficult to get them into running condition... Anyway... Just sad...

      Old equipment like that would frequently continue to be used in the US too if the place remained operational, but if it closes, usually nobody bothers to remove it to continue to use it.

The latter is used as a scintillating agent to produce visible light when struck by electrons. (as in a fluorescent tube, or in the case with a traser/betalight, tritium). Phosphor powder is relatively harmless in comparison.
      Even though larger trasers may contain which seems like very high amounts of radioactive material (Tritium/H3) as much as tens of curies(!), the beta emission is of relatively low energy level and such trasers are zero emission devices.

      But most don’t understand the true dangers around. Let alone 30-40-50 years ago the things we used but didn’t really understand.
      At best protect the air you breathe and protect your hands from what you touch.
      Years ago my buddy went to a place and his hands were turning red and hurting.
      He had found out from another person that others in the building a month prior figured it would be funny to pour acid on door knobs.
      So now you must watch out for normal hazards but hazardous things others might have done.

      @Lady Fairfax33 Medical records only need to be kept for a certain number of years, usually 7 years (longer if the patient was a juvenile or senior when they were seen). After that, they are just taking up limited space and must be properly disposed of. This usually means shredding or some other form of destruction. Simply tossing them intact into a dumpster is a HUGE violation.

It all seemed very familiar to me, including the outdated equipment!

The 3rd smaller autoclave near the surgical rooms is sometimes referred to as a flash sterilizer.

      i got stuck in few places becuase the records got burned up in a fire at one of the county buildings that keeps records. so when it comes to history and record keep, it plays the opposite then whats going on now.
      just give or take thats my side of the story otherwise you may find information or part saying they went to this hospitable but you won't know if there a nurse or a patient

      And no. Medical equipment isn't "reused". You have no warranty, you don't know if it works, you don't have any service records, and you don't know if there's a problem that will harm you or the patient.
      Okay. Recycle them. Hire dudes to pull it out, possibly exposing them to toxins, then take it to a specialized location that deals specifically with that. You spend an arm and a leg doing that. The State isn't going to bother with that. You're clearly not American. That's not how we do things.

I've gone too the abandoned Navy base too, the one on the river. That property is unexpectingly the least sketch abando in new Orleans area in my opinion. I've never had issues with cops or hostile people there at all. The Navy base is a giant facility, and the vibes there are nice. It gets scary at night tho. Six flags is awesome to explore too, it's still standing today I went about a year ago and it was super nostalgic, because before then the last time I went was with my family before they closed. Lol I always hope I'll run into y'all one day exploring, love y'all's videos the quality is jus as good as if I was there in person.

      Acid?? I had no idea dialysate was called that in English, or at least that's what Google told me. Fascinating!

    There's so many supplies and stuff left behind! Why are they still there? Like wow... so much history.

    It not only bothers me that these places are left to vandalism, but that the equipment meant NOTHING to them and would mean everything to me. The animals that could be saved with that pristine suction machine I saw… Ridiculous!

    There's this modern hospital in my home town that was abandoned a decade ago. It was built right in front of the original hospital that was originally built in the early 1900s. While the modern hospital was left literally to the dogs (there's a huge pack that hang out over there), the old hospital had the upper floors cleaned up a bit and are now rooms for mental health patients while two of the medical offices, one radiologist and the other an ENT, on the ground floor are still operational. Rest of the hospital is abandoned. It's in a bad neighborhood, and there are still security guards around, so I don't know if anyone has explored the modern hospital. I wonder if they left things behind too.

    Abandoned libraries are so sad, this is how we gained knowledge, and now we have instant knowledge on our phones
