    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!

Graffiti does not need to be part of THAT record. A problem that is widespread is that some graffiti 'artist' (and I use that term liberally) don't seem to know the difference between something that will eventually be torn down and a more permanent/historical structure and end up tagging ;places that should not be tagged. I believe that some graffiti is a true work of art and should be documented and saved, other pieces . . . not so much.

Any sort of disclosure that's not authorized by a patient (including y'all just looking at them haphazardly) could land whomever the holder of those records is in a literal fuckload of trouble. Beautiful place, though. Really loved this exploration.

    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.

Probably because not enough money and with hope of reopening but as we see on this channel - quite often that never happens. 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...

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.

    @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.

    If you guys ever come across a working hospital grade germicidal lamp, understand they are extremely high intensity UV-C (the bad kind). They must only be run with no one in the room. Running one and looking at it for too long will result in you waking up the next day feeling like someone attacked your eyeballs with sandpaper. Or worse, give you permanent eye damage.

    I used to work in a hospital sterile processing department. I can confirm that those indicators and big augoclaves are older but pretty standard. The 3rd smaller autoclave near the surgical rooms is sometimes referred to as a flash sterilizer. (Used in case of a sterile instrument or object is dropped or becomes unsterile and needs to be quickly resterilezed without going into the bigger, and longer time wise machines)

I worked as a radiology transcriber for over 30 years, including at two different hospitals, and even helped out in the dark room at one point, exposing X-rays, before they went digital. It all seemed very familiar to me, including the outdated equipment! By the way, if anyone decides to empty the buildings in order to demolish them, all those X-rays left behind can be sold for silver recovery.

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.

I had to go to a rural hospital in the middle of nowhere in Pennsylvania and it was almost all 1970s wood panelled stuff except for a couple newer radiology areas which had stuff from the early 2000s, but that was the newest stuff in there. A nurse told me they had issues with wall outlets at the rural PA hospital I was at, so it's interesting to me you also pointed that out here as it seems to be a huge issue with older built hospitals!

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.
