This is in russian, because it was written while the war I guess. So we had a lot of russians in our country who used to work in hospitals and stuff.

these are heartbreaking. whay do people die in asylums?

i live in niagara falls, which is very close to buffalo and i think you should take pictures of love canal.

Anyone have any info about the old Salesians in Cedar Lake Indiana?It sounds like the same senario as this Goshen one.And nobody will talk about it.One big cover up.Its been abandoned since 1979.

So is this place still there? Because it's close to where my dad lives, it does look it's worth to go ..

I see the face too--middle coumn, 6 or 7 seats down, second over, long hair, teenaged...70's cut...I see him but he doesn't look angry to me

totally love this pic,

It's unnervingly beautfiul.

I cant imagine that this cemetary would be allowed to go to ruin. It's way too important historically and there are quite a few famous people here. The chapels and cremetorium are cited in historical landmark books. Too many restoration committees around here to let it happen.

actually went there and squeezed through the side of the fence almost went in but the cops showed up i almost got arrested but was let off with a warning damn i wish i got in

Ahhhhhh....I've been wanting to know what this building looked like inside for at least 20 years! Thanks Motts!

Oh wow....

This is amazing.

Holy shiznit.

These pictures send chills up my spine......

Especially the last one, the clown??

those are bed sanitizers

WOW. Great picture.

The abuse they endured is enraging. That's why we shouldn't ostrcize people with mental issues. Seems to happen because no one is paying attention. There's more inspections and safety gaurds these days. I think. Been There Worked There, what's your take on how the place treated people?

to those posted about being patients, I appreciate your points of veiw.

MJ- I thought your comment about the patients playing pocket pool was really slanderous of the people who had to brave "mental illness" and this institution, who often experienced dehumanizing sexual, physical abuse from those "sane" employees. The same people who were supposed to be helping them. Thankyou Motts, Radical Ed, etc. for sharing this place, and for leading me to the story of Anna Jennings. I think it's important to understand how people are shaped by their world. And you call them "nuts" MJ! errrrg! I always wonder about the experiences these places have witnessed. The stories of peoples lives, it's all history...

Yuck! I hate the smell of bleach and will not use it my autopsy room. Ever. I use special cleaners from a company called Mopec. Wonderful stuff!!

We keep all of our wet tissue for three years unless the case in pending litigation; and our micro slides permanently .

When we need tissue mounted on micro slides, we send them across the parking lot to the hospital. Once, after I had made the trek I sat in the Histo-Path lab chatting with the techs there and just happened to glance at the Bio-bag sitting next to my elbow. It contained an amputated portion of a leg. The owner had diabetes it had become gangrenous and needed to be removed before it could spread. Anyhow we then launched into a lengthy conversation about limb storage...

Ha, we still break in the new help. :D

---wallpaper?

OK---
I'm dumb-----what does Interstice mean?

I have to admit--they are easier to sketch!
