Abandoned NYC Hospital-Tuberculosis Sanitarium *frozen in time*

[@DarkExploration]

I forgot to mention alot of war vets coming back from the two world wars were treated in this very hospital also! So much history trapped in these walls. If you enjoyed leave a thumbs up and subscribe for more awesome explores 😝

This was one of the best abandoned hospitals ever and the rain gives it the perfect feel.

[@Melissa2087]

I'd be looking at all those medical files. I'm too nosy to pass it up

Same, for sure.

Dark Exploration Films The wheelchair you were asking about had that design from the early 1900s up until the late 1940s. Wheelchairs were made of aluminum beginning in the 1950s. That particular wheelchair might have been made anytime between the 1920s and 1940s due to the fact that Hospital was open in the 1920s. I only saw one metal wheelchair, I'm sure there were more, but it seems there were more wooden ones. I had to delete and repost my comment because I had a couple of idiot trolls. They never give up. And to all you trolls who have to leave nasty comments that refuse to think before you write, get a life. And to those who think I need to learn about other things. Use your brains and pay attention to my comment from the beginning and the video. He asks about the wooden wheel chair and I'm nice enough to help him. I like to learn about certain things. That's what normal, considerate people do and they help others. That's how you make friends and also what makes you likable and popular. Use your eyes, ears and brains before you comment.

Such a great video,the sound of the rain in the background was hypnotic and creepy all at the same time 👍🏻😳

[@andreatullo2490]

At 6:07, Jobst Compression Unit is used for people with severe Lymphadema or DVT (deep being thrombosis). There are compression "boots" that r put on patients legs, the boots r then hooked up to the machine and the boots then compress intermittently on the legs to augment blood and lymphatic flow. Lyphadema and DVT pumps are not interchangeable. I hope this helps! Great video!

[@baboylove]

Interesting! So these are like electrically powered compression stockings :o

[@pene9101]

Thank you Andrea it kind of looked like something they used for torturing people lol

[@rubyaceves5122]

So that machine is what is now those stocking like things nurses wrap around the calves after a surgery? Ive had 5 c sections and have had the compression things on immediately post op to avoid blood clots. They can be quite annoying after you get the feeling back in your legs. It’s like a never ending leg massage.

[@proseb4bros976]

I really enjoy your videos and admire how respectful you are of the buildings and the contents within. Especially with those medical files. I've seen a couple Urb Ex channels in the past that show patient files or photos.... it's always bothered me. Thank you for being ethical and showing respect. You are amazing!

[@darrenwildeman5276]

Your videos are so good. I don't follow many urban exploring channels because I find it to be too many of one thing but yours are excellent and always come out so good. Your video and photography skills are excellent as well. Keep up the good work :)

[@Kate93_bts]

Seeing all those cribs for babies was so sad, knowing that they were all sick at such a young age. I feel bad for all of those people who had to spend time there.

[@jackyhawkins1895]

Fantastic explore. Very forboding place. I loved being taken around. Areas were very eerie and made even more so by the fact that was actual equipment and furniture left. Great filming. Many thanks for sharing

[@Jolou_73]

I would be so proud if you were my son, you have the utmost respect for these buildings and people who worked and stayed there, bless all those little ones who suffered that horrible disease, may they r.i.p 🙁

[@UrbexAndChill]

This came out so good

[@Mywonderland1982]

I've been addicted to watching your videos. These places have so much history, you can feel the past and the vibe of the present as well. So desolate now.

[@bucki58]

It’s really amazing how much stuff was left behind. Overall this place is just crazy.

[@Shwalker07]

Reminds me of a area you would find in the BioShock game with all that dripping water and rustic equipment.

[@DarkExploration]

I love it. That or fallout

[@Corishpotatoes]

Ive just recently started binge watching your videos, & I must say, I love how you really relive what the patients had to live, & you’re very respectful of the property, this channel is so fascinating. I couldn’t help but subscribe 😍

[@CassieMcKeever]

6:17 While I'm not a medical professional, I majored in history with a focus on medicine and technology. From my limited understanding, that is a machine that hooks up to what are basically inflatable boots or gloves, depending on what area needed treatment. It is used to treat edema (swelling caused by excess fluids). EDIT: I should probably add that TB patients often developed edema.

[@pene9101]

Thank you Cassie M, It looked like something they used to torture people lol

I am very impressed with your coverage of old hospital, keep up the great work.

[@courtney6126]

I love these! The abandoned hospitals. I’m a nurse so all of this I love to see.

[@zipshed]

All the old equipment left behind here made this place very cool. Great job!

[@MeyerBen27]

I've explored this entire area over hundreds of hours with my cousins and friends. There were two trips my cousin and I alone walked extremely slowly with no lights and we both agreed to try to will ghosts to us by thinking/whispering/beckoning to spirits to come to us; we saw absolutely nothing across all explorations.

[@bellabambaa]

I tried to keep my eyes open throughout this but the rain on the leaves along with him exploring and his soothing voice my eyes got soooo heavy. Loved it!

[@kpietran61]

You have the best perspective on your experience in these old places I love it.

[@sassysue6472]

Very nicely done! I love your appreciation of history and respect for the patients privacy. Too bad the hospital didn't care enough to destroy the records instead of just leaving them behind. I live abandoned hospitals. It's interesting to see how far we have come. TB was a horrible disease. The iron lung had to be one of the scariest devices I've ever seen!

[@YellowRubberDuckie]

Sassy Sue I believe there is still at least one person using the Iron Lung. He may have passed recently, but he had been in it for decades.

[@sassysue6472]

YellowRubberDuckie wow! I would have thought technology would have advanced enough that he could have had something less restricting.

[@YellowRubberDuckie]

Sassy Sue There actually is nothing better than that to help him after being it it as long as he was. He can spend time outside of it, but the Polio damage literally took away his ability to breathe. kzbin.info/www/bejne/naHPcmmmpp6WhdU

[@sassysue6472]

YellowRubberDuckie wow! At least he could be out of it some. Such a terrible disease.

[@AussieBeckyHTD4LIFE]

How do you find all these awesome abandoned places? i find your videos so interesting, i love the history behind the old places. i really enjoy watching your videos.

[@spunkfish11]

Makes me feel all emo too, being a nurse and all. Very sad place. Thanks for showing me. xo

[@WTFello5]

As much as you can manage safely: Please keep adding NYC content! NYC is my home city, growing up I've always been curious about all the abandoned building and remenats of the past since I was small. Now with all the gentrification going on a lot of these structures may disappear forever. {or maybe turn into museums like the Brooklyn Navy Yard}

[@kpietran61]

The rain made this explore even more mysterious. Great video

[@westwasbest]

75 years later and I can still feel the sadness and despair going through these hallways and rooms, with what these poor souls had to endure, and the staff that had to take care of them, sometimes we don't know how lucky we are to be alive, those walls could talk I can only imagine the things they would say, thank you for this detailed video

[@Debb1963]

Great explore! The weather made it even better! Bet it's haunted too. Stay safe!

You are legit because you are the only one who discover all the place alone by yourself👏

They should make this a medical museum but it would probably cost millions just to clean the place

[@ManiacalSurgeon]

At 6:08 that’s an early form of compression machine that served to prevent clots from forming in the legs of patients that were bed ridden for long periods of time. When you lay in bed for extended time you risk having what’s called deep vein thrombosis, or DVTs. The patient would wear stockings that covered the their legs and those stockings would connect to each terminal on that console. The console would fill each stocking with air one at a time at intermittent intervals.

[@ladyofsin553]

The device located at 10:21 in the video footage. With the two glass tubes that are broken. Might be at home in an operating theater one tube would show oxygen levels being given to the patient. The other anaesthetic gas levels given to the patient. There have been many styles of anaesthetic vaporizer used but they all do the same thing. See this link for an example of one such vaporizer. images.app.goo.gl/Ar3TRNdgBz6MHbbm8 I hope this is helpful.

How amazing is this place. Look at all those patient files just left behind . How does everything just get left behind like that?

[@SCUMCRODE]

6:02 is a sequential compression pump that intermittently inflates sleeves on the calves preventing blood clots. One port per limb so this machine serves 2 people with its 4 ports. These devices are the size of a basic toaster now, or smaller.

Hi I have had Tuberculosis in Brighton UK treated with Streptomycin, Rifampicin and Other treatments, it's sad to see the hospital abandoned like that. Why on earth wasn't the building turned into flats. Instead of just abandoning it like that. Seeing cots for babies and toddlers is just crazy that it's been left like that, what on earth happened to make it get abandoned like that . Thank tou for the insight like that, it wonder. If a place gets closed down you take patients files and equipment you don't just leave things behind.
