PlusVideo Shows Woman Dying on NY Hospital FloorVideo Shows Woman Dying on NY Hospital FloorThe Associated PressAt a New York hospital, officials agreed in court Tuesday to implement reforms at a psychiatric ward where surveillance footage captured a woman falling from her chair and dying as workers failed to help. (July 1)(New York)) A sad death in New York City. Surveillance cameras at a city-run psychiatric hospital emergency room in Brooklyn capture a woman falling from a chair, writhing on the floor and dying. Hospital staff and other patients watch and do nothing for more than an hour. One guard doesn't even leave his chair, rolling it around the corner to stare at the body. The New York Civil Liberties Union sued the facility, Kings County Hospital Center, last year over the way it treats psychiatric patients. ((Donna Lieberman, NY Civil Liberties Union)) "A chamber of filth, decay, indifference and danger and seeks an end to the culture of abuse and neglect where patients are regularly ignored and those that dare advocate for themselves are punished with forcible injections of psychotropic drugs."The city's medical examiner has yet to determine why the woman, 49-year old Esmin green, died on June 20th. She had been waiting in the emergency room for nearly 24 hours. ((Rob Cohen, Lawyer Suing Hospital)) "There is a culture of indifference to patients that permeates every aspect of KCHC's psychiatric care." The city-run agency that runs the hospital released a statement, saying: "We are shocked and distressed by the situation. It is clear that some of our employees failed to act based on our compassionate standards of care. (The hospital has) directed the suspension and termination of those involved." ---- Alan Aviles, Kings County Hospital Center The surveillance video eventually shows a member of the medical staff attending to Green. But it's too late, she had already died.

May 13, 2012 - There are so many hospitals like that in NY. No matter how critical a person is the hospital don't care and has to wait in line. Even if you tell them you may die in an hour they won't listen and will tell the patient to stand behind the waiting line.

sjnjab Says:
May 25, 2012 - I'm appalled at all the sick and heartless people out there! And I cant believe all the racism I'm hearing. I'm white and I cant believe there are still racist people out there. I live in northern United States and I live in an area where there are more white people than any other race and I've never known anyone to be racist. Its shocking to come online and see so much hate. I'm very disappointed in people
