		<description>@Becca: I know what you mean.  In my area, when they emptied the hospitals of mental patients, most of them ended up on the streets, at least eventually.  I believe the largest percentage of homeless people in our city came as a result of how the hospitals were emptied.

Individuals hurt, confused, forgotten, abandoned, our hearts should break for them, instead we are disgusted.</description>

		<description>I went exploring here about six months ago and after an hour, I finally found an entryway through an unlocked window, but was promptly confronted by a Spanish-speaking man that was either the caretaker or neighbor. The hospital has been purchased by a film company and is primarily used for, you guessed it, creepy hospital scenes. Unless you call the company (the number is posted on the lot) and ask for permission, I doubt you&#039;ll be able to get in without encountering a caretaker of sorts.</description>

		<description>I was the associate administrator of the hospital in 1988-9 and many of the deaths were caused by ineptness of the staff instead of paranormal activities.

I recall one instance when an elderly patient died between shifts and was just placed in a dirty linen closes until she turned very ripe and the smell made them take her out</description>
