Re: SP's Palace of Death

Used to go to the old SP hospital in San Francisco quite a few times with my grandfather who was going to visit some friends and fellow employees. I enjoyed watching the old-fashioned elevators with chicken wire/glass front doors where you could stand and watch the car coming or see the cables going up and down. Also, the SP had ramps between floors as I recall for transporting patients. And yes, the "Panhandle" was neat to explore too.

For those that don't know, SP had another medical facility on the East side of the diesel shop in West Oakland. I think they called it the "West Oakland Hospital". More of a dispensary where you could get minor care for injuries and prescriptions and such.

My grandfather, on occasion, would bring home two bottles of this nasty looking, dark liquid that he said was called "Galen-B" . Anyone know what that might have been ??

Cheers.
