The Corridor175 viewsWelcome to Seafield Children's Hospital.
The place had pretty much everything that can be expected of a small general hospital, designed for kids. Casualty, X-Ray, Operating Theatres, Wards and Therapy Areas: all on a small scale and geared towards the type of injury and ailment kids tend to suffer.
Security here is INSANE, with CCTV covering the CCTV! However, we did manage to find a simple way in. Let's take a tour!

Main Kitchens142 viewsInside the large and fairly well stripped (as usual) hospital kitchen.

IrnBru - Original And Best175 viewsOne item of food remains: IRN BRU... From the early 90's by the looks of it!
|
|
Goofy!134 viewsGoofy welcomes us to the main corridor - we may be the first guests he's seen in several years.
We ask him where the wards are - and he points... to the ceiling.
Fuckwit!

The Alice in WonderLand Corridor146 viewsWe detect we are nearing the Wards - as the decoration takes a creepy turn for the worse.
|
|
The Creepy Cheshire Cat155 viewsJeez! Adults constantly wonder why kids might find a place like this intimidating? Imagine, being ill, in a strange place and you have to lay in bed staring at THAT every night!?
|
|
Ward Systems140 viewsThis Ward annunciator panel tells us we are beside the wards. Let's press on!
|
|
The WoodWorking Ward175 viewsInside one of the wards - by the looks of it this was 'let's board the hospital up' central office!
|
|
The X-Ray Unit171 viewsThis old X-Ray machine sits, unhappy and unloved.
It has a secret though...
|
|
The X-Ray Machine On176 views...Click!
It's still powered on!
|
|
X-Ray Ted171 viewsWe all sat still for our X-Rays!
|

Operating Room Entrance152 viewsThe Entrance to the Operating Theatres.
|
|
Operating Theartre and Anaesthesiology175 viewsWow - an Operating Theatre on a small scale!
This is standing inside the main Theatre - with anaesthesiology in the smaller off room with the curtain.
|
|
Anaesthetic Gas Scavenging System159 viewsScavenging System ??
Well, consider this for a moment - you gas the patient unconscious... In that small room... right beside the Operating Theatre.
Where does the remaining gas GO?? That's right - into the air and into the surgeon who's wielding the knife!!!
This machine (which seems to be a later edition) removes the excess gas and stores it for re-use.

Scrub-Up Area151 viewsOooh, clean!
|
|
Operating Theatre - Display Cases158 viewsThese "display cases" recessed into the wall seem somehow grand and noble; and more like an Art Gallery / Museum than a Hospital!
|
|
Operating Theatre Display Cases149 viewsThese would have at one time held a myriad of surgical tools and equipment.
|
|
Glass Containers149 viewsSome glass containers left in one of the display cases: these were for Stomach Pumps!
|
|
Very Grumpy AutoClave154 viewsThe very grumpy autoclave eyes us suspiciously as we pass.
|
|
The LightBox173 viewsThe sun is starting to come up - and we need to move fast to assure our window of privacy when leaving the site. Security do a handover in 5 minutes and we need to be ready to haul ass while they are talking over the nightly report... And not watching the grounds or CCTV monitors.
