0:00-0:01 place looks vacant.

I know a lot of elevators in lexington medical center that i could give you directions to go to them, I'm a medical student and our professor always lets us job shadow other doctors around the hospital.

[escalatorgeek836]

you should ride the service elevator that is located in the back of the cafeteria area, that elevator is always vacant and easy to film because it is vacant.

[escalatorgeek881]

I don't know which one. I rode the service elevators at the South Tower which is only labeled "Staff Only" on certain floors which is weird. When I first rode them (from the ground floor), I didn't realize that they were service elevators.

0:03 the place looks really creepy dude , i've heard from a co worker that someone died in this area.

[escalatorgeek881]

Whoa. That isn't good. Are you from Columbia?

[escalatorgeek836]

yeah i'm a registered nurse for carolina allergy & asthma clinic and i always work in lexington medical center & richland.

[escalatorgeek881]

I wonder what will happen to this hospital because it is mainly empty. I don't understand how it will make money with nobody in it. But an empty hospital is also good just in case the other ones get full or in a big emergency.

[escalatorgeek836]

yes, richland is always full and crowded mostly because of the new heart hospital. this elevator was down the other day when i was there working night shift. this elevator is actually an service elevator, mainly to transport people to the morgue and freight stuffs.

[escalatorgeek881]

I can agree with that, this elevator is as creepy as hell. I wonder why some of the service elevators are only labeled "staff only" on certain floors, even if it leads to a carpeted (public) area. Also, was that you at the end of the video. I am just wondering.

[escalatorgeek836]

no that's not me i'm a guy

[escalatorfreak895]

indeed the 8th floor does look creepy it looks like an surgery room.

[escalatorgeek881]

The entire hospital is like barren. I don't see any patients being rolled around in this hospital. Looks like Lex. Medical is not doing well. Palmetto Health Richland on the other hand is jamb packed with patients.

[elevatorgeek88]

the 8th floor looks kinda creepy..

[escalatorgeek881]

This hospital seems barren, unlike Palmetto Health Richland. I do not know if this hospital is declining, it is the closest to me.

[elevatorgeek88]

it does seems like it is declining, this is actually the faretest from me. Where is the location of this elevator in the main building ? Is it near the south elevators ?

[escalatorgeek881]

It is actually hard to find. It is near the Critical Care Tower.
