Sinks

kinda odd to see the soap left makes it seem like someone is coming back. Lonley bar of soap

And the soap dispenser . . . . ?

Lynne beat me to it. Rather cheap looking soap dispenser.

You gotta love the old fashioned 'red for hot' and 'blue for cold' handles!

Good eye, Irish.

A bar of soap? I thought they only used liquid soap. Where are the soap dispensers?

They can turn the handles with their elbows to keep the handles free from the blood on their hands. S'just what popped into my mind after reading the caption.

There are no soap dispensers because liquid soap is a rather new ideal. Bar soap was always used, most likely around the time this hospital closed. Anyone take notice of the pile of wadded up old paper towels just tossed carelessly on the floor? I wonder how they got there...I mean surely this wash area had a trash can. It looks liked they were pulled or dumped out of a garbage bin and tossed there. Hmmm...
Also, dosen't make much sense to attempt to avoid getting toxins/germs/bodily fluids etc on your flesh if you are still turning off and on the sinks with your elbows. It still transfers to the flesh. Paper towels are the best way to go, turn off the sinks with those. Although, like many things that wasn't common practice until recently.

Looks like this area STILL has a trash can...

The trash can looks like it has a liner in it...

I'd like that nice pedistal sink for my bathroom - it's a shame no one is rescuing these pieces
