Description
If the walls of Edgewater Hospital could talk, they would proudly share the years of good medicine before breaking down into tears recounting the horrible crimes done within those walls in its final decade. Former employees, patients, FBI agents, lawyers, and urban explorers recount the history of how a once-premiere hospital deteriorated into a bloody fraud machine. If the Walls Could Talk recounts the tangled history of Chicago's Edgewater Hospital and the true crimes that destroyed it. Its abrupt closure in 2001 followed a 58-count federal indictment and left the city to decide what to do with an abandoned hospital.
