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 By the 2000's the facility was becoming too outdated, and an entirely new hospital was built to replace it.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.

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.

[@gorillaau]

I have never figured out why they don't sensibly dispose of such equipment while moving out. Decommissioning the items as a second pass seems fraught with problems, including children wanting to souvenir an item or another.

[@blacktopstudios1862]

[@amyfisher6380]

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.

Man am I happy to see this comment, Just a question… probably a dumb one… aside from vandals, who is and why are they hiring security at an “abandoned” place? Is a place like this actually abandoned or are they moving equipment and such out to the new location? At least from your experience I’m not asking about this video specificity. Unless you’re security there

[@Burtocd]

@@B_COOPER I'd imagine that it's a combination of deterring vandals and scavenger thieves(after copper wire and other things in order to make a quick buck), and just keeping people out of the property in general due to potential liability issues for the property owner.

FYI that imagine machine at the start was a C-arm digital x-ray. It's used in interventional radiology case such as pacemaker inseretion, angiograms etc to provide constant internal images of the patient to aid positioning of stents or devices etc. t is definitely not an MRI or CT. And that first slide was a cross sectional image of someones lower abdomen. Showing the spine and upper crests of the pelvis I think.

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.

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.

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

Thanks for all of the great content you've given us over the years

[@Arista177]

The best Urban explorers on you tube. They deserve to be on TV.

• That first machine is a C-arch for Radiologic Surgery if im not mistaken. It is designed for quick real-time x-ray feed capture of patients in beds. Used to check prothesis while installing them. Because it is live feed, thats why it has those monitors in the same room mounted on arms to be moved across the room (something you won't see in other machines. The monitors would usually be behind a wall where the operators would work protected from the X-rays) One of the displays show the video while the other one can keep a momery of a previous take for comparison and stuff • The machine over the defibrillator is just a cardiograph probably.

[@MineTwine45]

Thanks for another amazing video guys! Probably my favorite hospital exploration you guys have done so far. Keep up the amazing videos, definitely a highlight of my day whenever I get a notification for an upload!

If you ever return to Spain, check out the mines of La Union in Murcia. They were first established by the Romans and continued to be mined up until the mid 20th century. I explored a part of it when I was there off the tour path and found it to be incredible, seeing the differences in old and new tunneling and checking out some of the buildings on site.

[@CognitiveDissident.]

Somewhere inside of me is an abandoned building echoing the purpose of my life. Thank you for taking us along, gents.

[@JV3Player]

That opening scene of the video is beautiful, I would want that as a screensaver.

[@cayman9873]

Thanks guys. Appreciate your excellent hard work

[@countingstrides4068]

So happy that you posted another video. I am constantly learning new things on your channel, and I appreciate how you do not further destroy the relics remains of yesteryear.

[@NuutterBuutter]

I love your videos and its cool you posted a video on my birthday. so keep up the good work by exploring

[@TheProperPeople]

Happy birthday!

[@werlecar]

Happy Birthday!🎉🎂🎊

[@yettobseen]

Another tour de force ‼️ music, visuals all of if it just keeps us wanting more. That marble table! The grooves just like the Turkey plater for thanksgiving! Amazing that there’s still so much there in such condition. Thank you!

[@Lizzy1234-m8u]

Yes finally been waiting for a new video from you guys i am always watching old videos that you guys have on the channel greetings from Texas ❤

[@ghostinng274]

Im sure this has been said before but the multistar T.O.P. is an x-ray machine. Specifically a C-Arm style x-ray machine. I'm pretty sure the core is already gone though.

[@ItsaB3AR]

So excited for more of these explorations! Such a strange state this hospital is in, barricading doors with so much left there. Amazing operating theater too, never seen so much natural light in an OR.

[@nufosmatic]

11:33 - Pyrenes Marble - lovely.

[@arbyyyyh]

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. Sometimes they do either single-frame exposures, or sometimes they also do Fluoro/moving X-ray. The slides that you saw, the first was likely a CT scan, a cross section of the chest. The second was likely an Xray.

[@christopherg9806]

At 35:58, I saw Gomco Surgical Manufacturing, Buffalo, NY on some vacuum bottles. I got excited to see my home town listed, so I looked up Gomco. They went out of business in 1978, meaning those bottles were around 50 (or more!) years old.

[@Lighting_Desk]

Security was probably cheesed because they had to do some work. As always incredible cinematography. Always enjoy these videos with fascination and excitement, and often a little bit of sadness.

[@sharonhlavacek8309]

What I like about your videos is that you don't destroy anything. Great video

[@Flannel535]

This is an amazing channel.

[@royrogers8906]

That is cool I was born in Madrid Spain. Dad was in military. Born in 1977.

[@elcasho]

Haven't seen barricades that good since The Blues Brothers movie

[@kamackmac]

You absolutely had me hooked at "waterparks and palaces." For some reason, I'm absolutely obsessed with abandoned or empty pools. They give me a weird feeling, like vertigo-ish. And they always feel supremely bizarre. And you gotta love when fancy palaces/mansions are abandoned, so much opulence for it all to rot away.

[@carminefilice7901]

You guys have 'BALLS'!! Not only do you travel to another country, but you also explore an abandoned hospital to boot.I've been watching you guys for a while now.This, by far, creeped me out the most lol.! You guys do great exploring.Amazing how you can find an abandoned hospital and then explore it.Keep up the great vids guys.Cheers from Canada.

[@jessicad83]

The thing with the defibrillator was a very old "crash cart" 😉

[@RivenWine]

Covid test?! This place looks like it's been abandoned for like ten years!

[@mfree80286]

4:38 That is a angiogram X-ray fluoroscope, an angiography machine. Basically it's a video X-ray machine. ED: And the slides were from CT imaging, so they came from elsewhere. Either a cross-reference for some surgery or just left there as chaff.

[@Jenifer.flute20]

Abandoned buildings, especially hospitals that left behind patient information and stuff, just blow my mind.

[@bethanie3793]

Been a follower from the beginning and I still get SO excited when I get the alert you uploaded!!!!

[@AstorReinhardt]

Awesome building! Shame they're just letting it sit like that, it's so unique lol. And I know you guys were in a rush but I really wanted to see where the stairs at 32:52 led. Looked like a cool staircase.

[@nikkennesy5345]

We hear security of a place that we broke into in a foreign country where we can be held and not be given a hearing for a number of years....let's go towards it

[@MrBalll]

Really hoping you guys add the main operating room as one of your prints. Would love to get one in canvas. Thanks for another awesome video.

[@deweyharmon4666]

Great to see you guys sharing another adventure! Question, have you guys ever been arrested, detained?? Thank you guys!!

[@danyafernandez520]

Go to the Q&A they did, it's from 2 years ago but it may answer some of your questions

[@squee222]

barricading all the doors and windows in a hospital with all the loose furniture - that's zombie apocalypse stuff...

[@ryhol5417]

The X-ray device is just a carm. Can be used for lord of X-rays imaging, fluoro procedures, heart Caths. Can also use for normal. X-rays like seeing if you broke your hand or not. Not ct or mri.

[@iamjoe610]

I laughed when you guys mentioned the biomedical engineering room. I am a biomedical engineer. I fix/calibrate medical devices. It was really cool to see all of these devices here... a lot of the same can be found in my hospital. Including the west germany colposcopes lol

[@chrisgrant1029]

Such a crime to let all that medical equipment (especially OR lights) just go to waste when poorer countries have so little of it

[@jordanmetcalf9496]

It is a foreshadowing for what is to come for the medical industrial complex which by in large is a scam based off of Germ Theory which is a hoax. Medical care should be limited to surgeries and pain management for severe injuries and shouldn't have anything to do with "health care" because more often than not they either kill or maim the patient with pharmaceuticals.

[@MaxineJay7]

What do you estimate the cost of refurbing, packaging, shipping and installing the equipment to another country would be? I suspect it would be almost as economical to just buy new equipment and have it delivered to where it's needed. I know how I'd choose to spend my money if I was equipping a hospital in a developing country.

[@mattm9069]

Proper People! I can vicariously explore through your videos.
