Naval Hospital SampsonThis image, from Mr Rust’s collection, is undated, but presumed to be ~1945-1946.
Seneca Lake is to the left, off the image. New York State Route 96A, renamed Sampson Veterans Memorial Highway in Oct 2010, is on the right.
Note that Married and Bachelor Medical officers lived in glorious isolation. Imagine a modern hospital having such a small Administrative section. Lab, Xray and Surgery wings are just to the left of this structure.Nurses Quarters and Enlisted Barracks seem convenient. Wards A, B, C, D follow a classic (for the time) Navy “pavilion” scheme.

Looking west to Seneca Lake. Countryside on the opposite shore looks about the same as today.

No lab automation in 1946!

CT scanners were about 30 years in the future

This is how blood counts were done in 1946.

Enlisted barracks c 1946. No TV? No radio? Pretty austere.
