hospital

From atop the modern seven story building, one can look down to a slightly older building, three stories high. The smaller structure is crowned with a copper-plated dome, pushed through the roof from within by several colossal columns. Below the dome lies hospital rubble, a timeline of abandonment and neglect. Narrow hospital beds and mattresses, piles of records mixed in with crumbling asbestos tiles, and scraps of garments spread over the hard cement floors. A trip through the debris-littered corridors leads to many small, individual rooms, barely big enough for a bed and a chair. Down in the basement are a few even more disturbing scenes, not to be mentioned here for fear of 'crossing over the line.'
