NEW YORK (July 1) - Video from a surveillance camera at a Brooklyn, N.Y., hospital shows a woman dying on the floor of a psychiatric emergency-room while people nearby ignore her.
The video was released Monday by lawyers suing Kings County Hospital alleging neglect and abuse of mental health patients at the facility.
The video shows the 49-year-old woman keeling over and falling out out of her chair on June 19 and lying facedown on the floor, then thrashing before going still. About an hour passed before someone realized what was happening and tried to help.
The agency that runs the municipal hospital - the city's Health and Hospitals Corp. fired several staffers as a result.
(45 minutes after she is dead these idiots notice her,that's some foul crap. )
What is wrong with people nowadays. First the people didn't help the man who was hit by the car and just watched him lie in the street and now this. What happened to compassion. To kindness. To giving help to those who need it. Very sad..not 5 minutes, 45 minutes. And we won't count the 24 hours that she was sitting, waiting to be helped by DOCTORS AT A HOSPITAL
