Yep, hate it when i cant watch your videos in 4k, ive actually been done exploaring in my area too! Going to a giant abandoned mill soon

Thanks for what you do!

Nothing wrong with 1080p

Yeah ok

Same shit happen to me last week.

I was SO curious about the bath slab! I can't find much online about why it was made/used (water saver?)

@@TheStorytellersBox From what I found on line they placed the patient on the slab and washed them down. What I can't figure out is how they placed the patient on the slab if they couldn't get up on the table by themselves. I guess they could use a sling lift made out of plastic. It was before my time so I am curious too.

Wow, almost 50 yrs as a nurse? That's impressive! I'm sure your work helped a lot of people. 👍🏼

@@TheStorytellersBox People were manually lifted onto the slab by one or two caregivers, depending on patient size, shape, and staff availability. A mechanical lift was used if available however even though it was easier on the back it took more time to set up so many staff still opted to manually lift to save time. The short sides made an almost lateral transfer possible as well as making it easy to reach the person during bathing. Some later slabs had the capability to be raised or lowered. You could walk all around the person or have a caregiver on each side with easy access. Another benefit was that after bathing you could dry the slab and put dry towels under the person and dress them before transferring them to their w/c. Also these slabs were often used for changing the disposable briefs of incontinent people who needed washing up. The slabs were slightly angled down toward the drain end and this prevented the waste and water from running back on the person if you were really careful. A spray hose was used for washing and I know this sounds barbaric but there are techinques for using these slabs that can make the bath much less uncomfortable than you might imagine. But that's a different lengthy comment...

Thank you for your service. My first brush with nurses, hospitals, and operations thereof was in 1945, when I was hit by a car. I still vaguely remember traveling on gurneys up and down hallways, in and out of elevators, all the while feeling the drafts of March weather. My right femur was broken and my impression, before the anesthetic took hold, was that they'd laid me on some sort of rack, very uncomfortable. The break was clean, but the broken ends had passed each other, so they drilled holes in my tibia and pelvis, inserted stainless steel pins, and attached "horseshoes" to the pins' so they could apply traction to pull the broken pieces apart to line them up. I was encased in a plaster cast from the base of my toes to my armpits, with an opening at the crotch. Comfy! We celebrated my fifth birthday in the ward, with the nurses attending, and I didn't mind a bit that a nurse or nurses would come around at lights-out, to kiss me goodnight (I came from a very affectionate family). I've had surgery for a pilonidal cyst, perforated diverticulitis, a nephrectomy (cancer of the right kidney), and half-hip replacement and it has always been the professionalism and compassion of the nurses that made my hospital stays bearable. Even now, I have a "Dream Team" of RNs helping me to cope with Old Age. Bless you all! Stay safe.

Yeah, especially no over-exaggeration n all that garbage :P

Yes, they're A1 at this, along with Broken Window Theory, Derelict Doug, Urban Exploring with Kappy, Mobile Instinct, Bright Sun Videos, and several others. Don't you get tired of every exploration beng "scary," "haunted," "(I almost died!") etc.! Some of them are so inept you wonder how they manage. Stay safe.

Straight up.

That’s a very beautiful comment 💜

I agree! These guys are the best!

Sometimes I wonder if the PP would be better off just putting on reflective vests and hardhats, carry clipboards around, and make it look like they know what they're doing.

@@smwsmwsmw whatp

Can't help but think about how those tiles are more than likely asbestos. Which is fine as long as they don't break...

You might not understand how microphones work when ...

I worked at a medical facility that was always upgrading equipment. I now have several of the finest medical grade stainless steel BBQ grates known to man.

At 30:53, the grate is on the floor through that door. At least it's a grate of some sort.

Hello Amanda I totally agree with your comments on this video

Without all fake paranormal stuff ghost

Every now and then they have real a paranormal stuff

Is that the one Stephen King refers to as the 'mangler?'

@@ericbartol yes

Flatwork ironer & Sheet folding machine. I would consider the design more like Streamline Moderne (late 30ies ~ late 50ies) than Art Deco.

It looks like a Sci-Fi tank to me.

Looks like an old American Laundry Sylon or Super Sylon ironer with original aprons. The folder is a separate piece on the end. That particular ironer looks to be about 40s-50s and was built in Cincinnati, Ohio. Mostly original. Doesn't appear to have the inverter conversion done. The hood on top was for sucking out the steam from the sheets and the wax smell when they were waxed before using. A must have for being in a basement or enclosed area. Although that vent is too small by today's standards and most likely was full of wax in the walls. I'm surprised to see that in there. That still fetches a lot of money in the open market. I use to install and rebuild these things all over the US for 10 years. I always anticipate seeing something laundry related when watching your videos.

I hope I never break a bone! 😬 Are patients awake during this procedure??

@@shaynak745 No! Luckily, we anesthetize the patient before we ever put their legs in the boots.

@@921buzz that’s good!!

Omg that sounds awful and painful! Bless your heart for having to be the one to do that procedure.

omg o_o fuuuuuuck no but also thank you for what you do, I never could do that

Same here

Same here, my wife (who really isn’t into watching KZfaq often) enjoys watching their videos, a lot of times we watch their videos at breakfast in the mornings before we go to work

As does anyone who does Graffiti.

@@Cthulhoop Na, I know a couple actual artists. They have respect and they don't just tag to deface and rebel against their parents. lol

that's disrespectful to doorknobs

@@YaBoyLogann Valid point

😅

Some of the graffiti was very good but most is just annoying but it's art non the less

The Among Us graffiti was some of the most frustrating. It's not even that good of a game. If you can't even be original don't bring paint with you.

Isn't that a Megadeth album name?

@@wounded625 To be fair, I think it added a lot to the place. Mid-century hospital with modern day graffiti with modern ideas really points out the contrast in how much the world has changed since then.

There could also be scrappers, vandals, homeless people and other explorers.

Taking pictures as an objective maybe?

@@Chris5685 yessssssss

Do it!

Think about all the human juices that was in that tub though. You might be able to clean the human broth out, but the metal remembers the the filth soup.

Good thing they're the "proper people" and don't scavenge ;)

@@Saluno375 Yeah, much better that it's left on the floor of some old building rather than if it was reused by whatever means, right?

@@prebenjaeger I mean, scavenging a single circuit breaker off the floor is a victimless crime, but if no one scavenged we'd have abandoned buildings in pristine state in our urbex content. So yes, don't propagate the idea.

Watch people recognize this building and head over just for the circuit breaker now

What's a circuit breaker?

W H A T (you were in...?!?!?!)

What does this mean, if you’re fine with answer? I just find interest in this kind of stuff whether you meant you went exploring in one or whether you were actually in one :D

@@Makoishere4 I'm just adding my 2-cents on what the room looked like to me based on the experience of being in a hospital ward several times as a kid. I wasn't exploring between the ages of 2 months old and 12 years old :-)

@@lavapix I still find that interesting mate :P

@@Makoishere4 The moment I saw that room it brought back memories of being in the hospital as a kid. The only difference is the entrance was in the center.

Is it possible the sources are still in that old equipment (and potentially dangerous if scrapped?).

@@tc7009 After what happened in Brazil in 1987 I doubt the source would be left behind.

@@tc7009 uhm... I get the feeling you're up to something? 🤔

@@tc7009 Ultimately, no. The equipment itself is not radioactive. Perhaps all the parts are still there that can produce x-rays (a cathode, anode, filament, tungsten target, etc.), but those parts alone do not hold any radiation.

@@tc7009 no, the x-rays are generated by high voltage... no voltage, no x-rays, no x-rays no radiation.

Man that thing looks like it would give zero shits if a person got caught in it.

The absolute hands down worst job I ever had was mangling sheets in a nursing home. I think I ran each one through a total of 16 times but I can't remember. It was hot, had to stand in the same spot facing a cinder block wall all day. Just mind numbing. But sometimes on Friday afternoons I got to hand iron clothes!

Welp, now I'm remembering Stephen Kings story about the Mangler.

@@SEEYAIAYE Its interesting you called it a mangler instead of a mangle. That's the word I always used too but thought maybe I was wrong.

@@jackimiller8511 Nah SK named the story that. For a short story it's creepy though. This thing turns on by itself and kills people.

Somewhere at the 8-minute mark, there is grass growing in one of the rooms.

Life uhh... finds a way

In one video where they explored a steel mill there was plants growing on a conveyor belt like 100 feet in the air. Nature really does always win at the end

@@Owlleap I thing that was moss/lichen. Either way, nature reclaims 🙌

The guy is a fool

I used to subscribe to him because I just really like urbex videos and need more but he was so freaking annoying. Most urbex channels are since they fake crap or just have annoying personalities. This channel is the only one I'm subbed to still because their videos are so aesthetically please and they're super chill.

Josh used to hate such explores with fake titles but now he became one of them i think. Or at least it feels like it since he start to become that famous. That's why i stick to Proper People. They're chill and didn't change. And they're videos are pleasing to watch

@@AstorReinhardt Yup same here.

The *Proper People* are properly respectful. They even speak in hushed tones. 🎩

That’s word for word what they said

@@EndOfLineTech ok?

Why did they close ever find out guys?It should have more secure border windows.i wish people didn't have to destroy things.Great video.Thanks guys.

I mean they said that to cover themselves in the video. This is the Lakeville Sanitorium in MA is it not?

yea that’s right

Is that the old Taunton State Hospital or the one in Foxboro? I saw one piece of graffiti and it had a phone number with an area code of 508 that is south eastern Massachusetts. Great video.

@@philvecchio6366 its the lakeville one

I was wondering if anyone else noticed the place! At the beginning of their video I was like wait... I know this place! I’ve personally never been inside it, I live a few towns away from it, but I’ve talked to a few people who have been in it and seen many pictures and videos. I only wish it was way more intact as it would probably be more amazing to explore.

There wus 8 patients in a room @ the heartlands, Birmingham,

I worked on a medical surgical floor with 6 bed wards in the 1970's. If I entered the wards, I could never leave. Everybody needed something. LOL

My local hospital has single room wards and you could do cartwheels through them, they're that big.

Exactly what I thought being British I was like “man they should visit a busy NHS hospital” that is not packed tight that’s practically private.

Look at this link towards end of comments is link to Fairfew mental institute wards had at least 20 to 30 cots side by side no space at all in between them I absolutely hate the terminology used I find it rather offensive ie cripple, spastic, retards, mentally handicapped, mentally challenged etc its disgusting horrible nasty way to describe the children and adults even babies with very complex special needs I'm very severely disabled myself what's so very very sad and I'm going to mention this please only watch this documentary with caution as it made me physically sick seeing the disgusting way they were treated I sensed from nurses body language no empathy or emotion odd few did but to see children and adults even babies rocking violently backwards and forwards along with repetitive erratic behaviour which is very clear sign they are very seriously deprived of stimulation, love and attention etc etc left all day in play room on floor if there able. The bed bound are all bent, stick thin, and severely malnourished with their bodies all gnarled and excruciatingly painfully twisted nurses giving them medication and feeding them flat on there backs shoveling food in continuous and constantly not giving time to acknowledged theres food in there mouth, time to taste, chew and swallow what's put in their mouths or given breather and or water in between each mouthful that's seriously very high choking risk which causes Aspirated Pneumonia which is usually fatal I have no doubt what so ever its most likely the cause of death in these young patients as well as severe malnourishment. Vast percent of the patients were Epileptic, Down Syndrome, brain damaged, various stages of learning difficulties etc we seen them in mental asylum for feeble minded a relative and her friend worked in the 80s it was horrendous place those in lock up wards screamed, hit and bit themselves and or others even chucked poo everywhere. I remember one lovely lady had very mild Downs but because lack of stimulus she had absolute no clue how to live independently I took a shine to her said to her guardian (her parents were both deceased by time she got out after institution got shut down) she can be rehabilitated with plenty time, patience and supervision sure enough in my care plus her guardian and carers Elsie thrived eventually moved into assisted living like sheltered housing but with more freedom. She even got married lived very happy fulfilling life her violent rocking and anger issues stopped after few months due to being stimulated and learnt to socialise she loved dancing and painting I taught her to make home made cards its so sad how these barbaric torturous hideous buildings treated special needs any ways here's link its about Slab bath shown in this video opacity.us/image5260_slab_tub.htm#!get=comments

Hospitals normally have flowing ghost activity so it'd be cool to try and connect to the other side here, however I here they're extra clingy after being locked in a building all those years

@@Shawn_Magara i can imagine. funny, in a way. i've never once had a paranormal experience, but i'd be willing to believe even a little that anything is possible. in actuality, i dunno if i'd be brave enough to try and stir up anything i should be leaving alone.

It may have been obsolete, but that stuff is very expensive. Terrible waste of money to keep replacing it if it is still perfectly functional.

Stuff was built to last back then, and the technology didn't change as fast as it does these days. No planned obsolescence.

Haha same here

My old elementary school had those glossy tiles everywhere. The bathrooms were the green ones and the pink ones, the hallway walls were the yellow ones, etc. I love them so much for how ugly they are

Same.

@@aesxop The fully tiled walls freak me out,don't know why,just do lol

Yeah, my grammar school AND my college both have those pastel blocks lol. The green ones were the most common, followed by the blue, then brown/beige. I never saw pink

I'm recovering from ORIF after suffering "bi lateral fractures of tibial plateu.Had to stand on kitchen counter to reach the windows & when i jumped down...... it was like a punch to the gut that winded me & i hit he floor like a sack of spuds.Having plates & screws in both legs,i just had to see this contraption & now i actually feel sick lol

@@allyjenny15 Technically i wasn't,i had a spinal block & sedative,i was off the planet but conscious

Yes! Had to get all the blood out. My first job in the OR, we still draped with real linens that were folded and wrapped twice and sterilized. We also had to make sure there were no holes in them

Last june i was standing on the kitchen counter cleaning my windows,i jumped down & crack,i felt a jolt that winded me & i hit the floor.I suffered "bi lateral fractures of tibial plateau".Now i have plates & screws in both legs,surgery was carried out under a spinal block & heavy sedation so totally out of it.Took months to heal but i need to get more physio as left leg still not right,i'm really aware of the plate & it's quite painful when walking (still really numb around surgery site) i'm worried i'm gonna end up with permanent limp.I couldn't bear to look at x rays so the thought of something manipulating my bones makes me queasy lol

@@lynnski7639 Bone healing typically slows after the age of 40, the plates and screws will allow the bone to stay stable and heal properly for a longer period of time. You could technically have the plates and screws removed, if they are causing issues later on, however they are intended to remain lifelong. It would be something you would have to discuss with an orthopedic surgeon, if it is worth the extra surgery to have them removed. You may find the pain and numbness could be resolved with physical therapy and time.

@@SuperSharpBlue Done my exercises religiously but i think i might need a wee bit more hands on physio which isn't possible at the minute,thank you for replying

mid-century architecture embodies Americana. It's so sad to see it disappearing.

Oh man, YES!!!! Seriously, that’s a good idea.

Yup. Masks and a security badge.

And a clipboard

If I saw them I would walk them out but not call the police, if you give me some bullshit line that you are supposed to be there I will call the police. Most workers just worry that you do not get hurt in a building, you lie to them and they will call the police since you are now pretending to be someone official and that is more than just a trespassing ticket. No one is going to believe your stupid story they know who is supposed to be there and they would not like some BS lie.

I believe if they get caught though, that could get them in more trouble

So do the old elementary schools

​@simonwyatt8398 lakeville hospital Massachusetts you will get arrested for trespassing in this state so I don't explore much

I'm not totally familiar with the heating in these buildings but if they had a supply fan blowing into the ceiling space and over the coils would heat the air and cause the hot air to blow down form the ceiling. As long as there is a negative pressure source elsewhere in the building (exhaust fan) it would constantly draw air down from the ceiling (through all those holes). Now a days most buildings use the ceiling space as an exhaust plenum but I have heard of supply plenum ceilings, but it's not as practical as you pointed out hot air has that annoying habit of rising.

I was thinking it was in-floor heat for the floor above.
