Do you wear any protective clothing? Mask? Looks like lots of dust and dirt, never know where the asbestos will be.

I wear a mask in dry and dusty tunnels or confined spaces, and also in places riddled with mold spores in the air. Most of the dust here is plaster that has crumbled from the ceilings.

That's an incredibly thick layer of dust on the floor. Amazing shot!

My first thought was some sort of ancient x-ray device, also.

The floor looks like a giant sandbox. Maybe a portable xray machine?

Glad to hear you wear a mask when you are in a bad inviroment.

If you look closely, you will see that it is a giant drill for boring holes in skulls...

To contribute something productive-

Given it's a TB hospital, the most logical guess would be that it's a mobile chest X-Ray.

I THINK THATS A DENTAL X RAY MACHINE YOU KNOW THE PATIENTS COULDNT LEAVE THE PROPERTY SO THEY PROBABLY HAD THIER OWN DENTAL STUFF IN THERE.
