Kind of makes you wonder why these were not taken with when the hospitals closed. I would think the patient would still need them. The movable fireplace is bizarre. Awesome photos - as always - you are a master at your work!

There is something incredibly heart-wrenching about the second picture... the forgotten artificial appendage that once held the dreams of a child's mobility.

the fourth one is an actual brace I had to use ones very similar years ago. They are actually pretty comfortable considering its hard plastic.

Really nifty. . . It makes their previous owners seem strangely endearing, like dolls. . .

The fireplace paired with the cast led to bad mental processes, though.

I assume these devices are something of a rareity to find in abandonments? Or had they simply not made their way into the galleries thus far?

Both - all the photos except one of the braces haven't been posted yet, and I think these objects are somewhat rare finds.

After the polio epidemic, there were tons of these around. As the technology of prosthetics improved, these "dinosaurs" were left behind.
