  • Trying to start a group around this. I'm an X-nurse that witnessed stuff like this all the time and am trying to expose it. Look for "Occupy Hospital Cameras" on facebook.

  • Fucking immoral. Period.

  • thats SAD not disgusting -_-

  • remind me never 2 go there

    

  • This seriously could have happened anywhere...A man in this country was ignored because they thought he was drunk, and he was actually a diabetic who hadn't been treated.

  • Oh stop it with all the American comments, twats. This could've happened anywhere, the people involved deserved to be fired and put in jail, big time. It's not like the government looked in and said "oh, just leave her."

  • @MrAmerica1995 in England this happens all the time,

  • @1Adr1an6 I dont think it does, in england the uproar over something like this would be enormous and would be in the papers for months. Please put a link on to any news items of similar happenings in england, bet you wont be able to find any.

  • thats fucking horrid. America and its shitty healthcare

  • WHAT THE FUCK!? That's disgusting

  • I am an American currently thinking about moving out of this shitty country..

  • the best country in the world??i wonder.its more like barbarian..

  • All of the racist idiots leaving ridiculous comments are just as stupid as the hospital staff. Now I understand what kind of people do this to people. Fuck you!

  • wow..this is shocking... is this country USA?

    

  • america can send thousands of troops to war but just couldnt afford to treat their people

  • @shatteringsky91 Please, We're better than YOUR third world country.

  • @haloguy09 at least i dont have to be DEAD to get a treatment LOL...

  • It is just a shame at this time when medical resources are readily available,that a person can be sitting in a waiting room in a hospital, and not just the person sitting there, but hospital personal can ignore another human being in distress, and dies! What has the world come to?

  • My god. What has the world come to.

  • STUPID FUCKS

  • I don't really blame the workers though. In a place like that many of times there would be a situation where someone decides to act up and lay down or act inappropriately. Being security guard I'm sure they have seen situation in where patients or other people act in a strange manner and didn't think anything of it. Also If the lady had been waiting there that long why didn't she complain or say anything?

  • This is entirely the hospital's fault and what i'm about to say is in no way directed at the woman who died. But if I had been waiting there for as little as 3 hours I'd find someone and be like "WTF, i'm kind of dying here and i'm just being ignored? Preventing me from dying is kind of like, your job, so fucking do it!".

  • black people.

  • These comments are nowhere near grammatically correct or are in any way productive. This video shows a clear example of how the human race is an uncaring and disgusting group of beings. The American people are the worst for treating others with respect, in Europe things like this would never happen. People from Europe would care for this woman within minutes, especially in the United Kingdom where free public health care is available through the NHS. You disgust me America.

  • @elliot0712 Just because this incident happened in America, don't be ignorant and just group all Americans into one category. You're not better or superior in anyway just because you're from Europe, you just sound ignorant.

  • @elliot0712 wow shut up you sound dumb as hell.

  • WOW WHO STAYS THERE FOR 24 HOURS DATS JACKED UP

    (HORRIBLE HOSPITAL!!!!!)

  • Not only should people face criminal charges but they should also have their medical licenses revoked.

  • ney york hospitiality just like when that lady was stabbed to death and people said i did not want to get involved

  • ney york hospitiality just like when that lady was stabbed to deth and people said i did not want to get involved

  • there mental dats y

  • df is wrong with does ppli want to leave them dieing like dat

  • Wat u expect, the ppl working there are black.

  • @ARTISTICLYSTUPID youtube.com/watch?v=HF15T30xCP

    I never believed in these, until it happened to me.

  • Man, I'm the hospital I work at isn't that pathetic and bad, that's messed up.

  • GOD HELP ME PLEASE JESUS HELP US;OH OH GOD HELPHELP HELP SAVE US LORD SAVE US JESUS THE DEVIL IS THREATHEN

  • i rememeber hearing about this. family got no explanation at all

  • Why didnt someoine just help her?!?!

  • This made me sick. People's love have run cold. A sign of the last days.

  • ANY family this person had should be suing by now. Major outrage.

  • @DASW7 any family should have been there with her instead of trying to gold dig when shes dead.

  • WTF?!?!

  • Black people have been denied proper Health Care, decent Jobs, and good educational opportunities for TOO LONG!!

    WE demand to have access to Health Care...weather we are POOR or NOT...weather we can afford it or NOT!!

    We want our kids properly educated instead of being GUNNED DOWN in the streets!!

    We want our hoods cleaned up from all of the Liquor stores and crack houses!!

    We are TIRED of being treated like ANIMALS like this video shows!!!

    Whites have a LOT to answer for!!!!

  • I am a doctor and i see this ass as another patient.

  • @PoliceRPG A doctor with poor spelling.

  • It doesn't surprise me that it is the NURSE who checks the patient (@6:35) and immediately gets the code cart and responds at 6:35....shame on the others who walk in and merely peek. A non responsive person on the floor should alert ANYONE that something isn't right not just medical personel.

  • Those involved should have gotten major jail time

  • its cuz shes black they didnt come to her aid

  • how do you know that?

  • meow

  • @KIRBYPUFF101 what?

  • What is fucked up is that these fat black women look very well fed on the Food Stamp program

    If you do not like Medicare health care.....put down your welfare check and GET A JOB..and get decent healthcare!!!!

    Typical EVERYONE in this hospital room is on welfare and living off the government and working americans..

    PUT THEM TO WORK!

    Nothing in life is free...why do inner city blacks think that they have a right to a FREE RIDE in life??

    GET A JOB! and you could afford decent healthcare!!!!

  • Yes...they should get rid of the Welfare system

    they had out food stamps to people who should work and not live off of others

  • NightoftheShape3

    how come that US statistics show that most people welfare are White?

    White 38.8%

    Black 37.2

    Hispanic 17.8

    Asian 2.8

    Other 3.4

    you are just an angry little racist.

  • You are just an angry little Socialist/communist who bows down to you god Obama.

    When you are paying 76% taxes to pay for wellfare....I will see what your future reaction will be...LOL

  • NightoftheShape3

    i am indeed a socialist, but why would Obama be my god? Obama is not a Socialist....would be cool if he was one, but he isnt.

    We have better welfare programs and pay alot less taxes than you do :)

  • dude Obama is totally scocialist. He's a progressive too, thats why ppl dont realize he is scocialist. He takes slow progressive babysteps towards scocialism, then eventually conmunism

  • I'm racist because I dont agree with you?

  • i agree man. thats what america is, a place you can work to achieve something in life, otherwise pl become complacent, and then dependant, then because slaves.

  • this is how all diabetics die= alone, for no reason, while the doctors look on....I think if we are going to die anyway maybe we should take up Osama's method of bringing attention to an issue, at least then we'll die for a worthy cause

  • This is why we need a Universal Health Care system. These are the 47 million people who have one to speak on their behalf unlike the Private providers they have powerful lobbiest and they just don't care.

  • It's so sad ppl dont give a damn

  • I am so sick of the racist comments on this site. If you are such a dumb shit that you dont know the word "nigger" is a stupid, ignorant person such as yourselves, You go to a hospital and die and do us all a favor if you are that miserable that people don't decide on which race to be. YOu worthless pieces of shit!

  • Comment removed

  • So it happens once in NY and it makes the news but it happens every week in LA and we get nothing? SHAME

  • why would we report something in LA when it happens every week? this usually doesn't happen in NY, that's why it's making the news. -.-

  • Yeah like NY is some kind of a heaven on earth lmao... get real... I lived 6 years in NY and that shit hole shouldnt get any News time with the shit that happens on a daily basis out there lmao... LA is a paradise compared to out there... plus the streets smell like piss out there

  • TOO BAD

  • lol.... no shit

  • Negligence

    Send those fuckers to prison.

  • I know this sounds mean, but in a lot of syciatric settings, a lot of these crazy patients lay on the ground like that because the medication is strong or they felt like the floor is better or something, so it is hard for someone to suspect anything like this... it is sad but true. I think the nurse and doctor should have checked her, but how did they know this what they were in for? I feel sorry for both ends in a way.

  • That's the best that the medical profession is good for these days, she was a lot better off just getting it over with, and the staff knew her wallet was drained, anyway. Billjesusgates' turn is coming up, a bit of divine justice since Gates has invested hundreds of millions in pharmaceuticals - AND abortion, so there'll be a lot fewer Bills down the road to begin with. The real Jesus will even it all out in the end.

  • @cusanusnicolas FUCK YOU... You better hope that never happens to ANYONE that you know.... Maybe you should die before you get treatment.....

  • My gosh these so called medical professions needs medical checkups.Firstly starting on their heart next the brain maybe their souls.

    God help them.

    How could they!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i hate the damn emergency room....

    heartless bastards...

    ~cody

  • and... did that nurse kick at her?

  • all these people should get fired!

  • Take heart...yes...the majority of those involved in this case where fired. 6 in all,even those that where at 1st just suspended. I know 1st hand how horriable the conditions inside that Psych E/R at Kingscounty are. i am an EMT in NYC & have been in & out of that s*&t hole w/pts more Xs then I care to have ever been to. Just so people know..the psych e/r is a seperate facility from the main e/r..even a diff building. The actualy E/R at Kings is much more compantantly run(4 the most part)

  • look at this asshole sitting there in there chair doing nothing. our society is so backasswards

  • guys look up this link to see the wors barbaric act u have ever seen

  • homer at 1:50

  • This is fuckin awful. I cant believe what i have just seen. Fuckin evil cunts!

  • this is sad. this is america, they dont care about one another.

  • i would sue the fuck out of them!!!

  • she would too but she died

  • Bullshit emergency room.

  • its not an emergency room but more likely a place where people come to die.

    the guards should be given criminal charges as well of the doctor, for being total idiots.

  • i agree about the guards having to face criminal charges...

  • yeah but since the nurse checked on her two minutes later you can assume the doctor informed her about it.

  • How tragic...wake up America, you've become a shameful disgrace to the free world. Obviously, unless you have health cover or the medico's see the colour of your money, you will be left to die.

  • um why do yu blame obama . FYI he isnt the president YET . BUSH is infact still president till JAN.2Oth so beforee yu qo blaminq Obama cas its obviouss yur a racist FUCKfacee , try seeinq who really is the person to blame.

  • i blame obama.

  • ^^ this is a stupid ass comment.

  • go kiss obama's ass.

  • Yhea ,Obama was not Pres !! Sweet Lord stop with all the hate, it sounds like you would have done nothing !!!!

  • of course i would have done something. i would tell the hospital workers not to help her because she's on welfare. i don't want her to live longer and continue to steal my tax money.

  • wow. thats a horrrible hospital.

  • dumbass

  • Everyone dies alone...it's the county...what you expect?!...shieeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeet...get rich or die try'n Nuuuuuuuuggaaaaaaaaaaaa

  • Comment removed

  • 2canvandam, you say florida treated you like a god. they treated your money like a god so don't get uppity idiot. Hey, Irish I am Italian and you know what thay means? Irish have sucked are asses for many moons.

  • God that city is sick fuck the entire country and for you dumb asses out there "well its a mental hospital they do wierd shit" no its still a fucking hospital even if the person is on the ground like that the nurses and that fucking retarded doctor should have checked on her not just walk up and look then walk away im glad 911 happened the less retards the better

  • Thats what I call a lack of compassion. Are all new yorkers like that?

  • Glad she's dead. That's the way it should work.

  • you are so inconsiderate. Why dont you go die and do the world a favor. You are an ass!

  • GROSS NEGLEGENCE!

  • Absolutley disgusting! All that were there shall be Judged By G-d! R.I.P. to the lady that fell alone with no help.

  • Did anyone catch "psychiatric emergency room"? Psychiatric? So she was having some kind of mental emergency? I guess they're used to patients acting up to get attention or laying on the floor. The report makes it sound like she was waiting for 24 hours to treat a fucking gunshot wound; simply laying quietly on the floor while still occasionally moving in the psych ward is NOT an obvious sign of impending death.

  • you are a moron!! You shouldnt comment on somthing that you obciously have no clue about!!

  • OMG!! It takes TWO exclamation marks to call someone a moron!! You know, to get a sympathy thumbs up without pointing out anything specifically wrong with what I said!! Just type with emotion and get kneejerk support!!

  • Blood clots in her legs... Maybe too much fried foods? She appears to be somewhat over wieght.

  • stupid asshole

  • See what you wanna do is reply to RECENT posts! Cause we all move on. Go eat some rice boy.

  • stupid niggas!!!! see lady on floor????? bitches

  • what a shame!

  • this is huge!she just fuckin lays there every one looks on like oh she's just crazy fuck her and then all they get is suspended wtf?she's fuckin dead!leaves me wondering if resorting back to violence is the key.you fuckin medical personel better wake the fuck up and start givin a shit or shit will happen.have a good day..

  • I love that word. HAHAHAHA how laughable, "inhumane" as in; it's not human, thus 4 making it sick, disturbing, disgusting, evil, without remorse, etc etc. And yet, humans are sick, disturbingly distuging, evil pricks, without remorse, who only do things to solely get their own needs fufilled and never REALLY ever care about another lving thing. Love doesn't exist, it's bullshit. And ANYTHING you can tell me I can give you a reason for why it's motivated purely by self interest. Fuck this world.

  • Wtf!? how inhumane can people get!?

  • Logdon17 insinuate being highly educated & intimately familiar w/ medical industry however, his myriad comments are all ASS-BACKWARDS.

  • NigerneckHobbit & carlitoswayes are both worthless ASSHOLES!

  • Fuck both you stupid pricks.

  • lmao dead

  • how can you call this a security guard ? remove the word security and the word guard cause he acted like he is nobody.

  • Did she get past him? No? I guess he did his job then.

  • "While sad, the workers at this holding tank are innocent." No excuse! Ive worked as an RN in phyciatry. If a pt falls to the floor you assess them no matter what! If the pt has put themselves there for whatever reason then thats a different story no need to cause a code white. But really no excuse.

  • 1:04 they don't come here to die alone(what more do you want?)

  • How traumatized and dehumanized must the employees of that "hospital" be to respond (or not respond) in such an inhuman way?! The hospital suspended some folks; probably they'll have a committee to make some new rule. If a hospital (or a school or a government agency) becomes that which inflicts as much harm as good (as is true of most of our healthcare institutions and organizations) it should be closed, and it's management unemployed. NO other outcome is acceptable.

  • .disgusting..!!

  • Well think that next time you sing Stars and Stripes. USA is in desperate need of a class war. Blacks and whites are not enemies and they should unite to fight against system thats runned by few rich who don`t give a shit about the poor.

    Greetings from Finland (a)

  • you are dead on with your comment.

  • you shouldn't say 'dead on'!

  • Sorry, that was my slip. I meant to say absolutely correct!

  • thats the united states health care you  dunno why socialized medicine is so bad im Canadian and health care is amazing and fast guess at worst its a bit crowded but i can imagine all hostipals being crowded

  • Logdon,

    It doesn't matter where you are in the hospital. If you see someone collaspe, you should at least try and help out instead of walking away like a dumb ass. How would you feel if someone did the same thing to you while you are trying to breathe for your life!

    This is sad how people have such a heart to just walk away without any care.

  • Terrible. Why couldn't it happen to somebody, like... Karl Rove's smug ass?

  • THIS IS FUCKED UP!!!!!!!SO SAD NY!!

  • wait, the psychiatric emergency room??? thats completely different from a real emergency room. i see nothing wrong with what happened here, these people are paid next to nothing to put up with the mentally disabled who are usually homeless at this place. Most of the time they pass out from drug and alcohol use or are so mentally insane that they act out in bizarre ways. Please comment with a valid argument. Thanks.

  • Before requesting a valid argument be posted, assess your own for it's validity, because it has NONE. The hospital staff in an EMERGENCY room (psychiatric or not) is paid to attend to just that - emergencies. What higher priority was the staff attending to during the hour that woman laid passed out on the floor? What you are basically saying is that it is ok to ignore the homeless, mentally disabled, the drunks, the "scurge" of society. It is NOT, and I pray you are NOT in the field of medicine.

  • ooh, good point. go syritaapplebum! they are human just like anyone else.

    by the way, i like ur name LOL! thats cute.

  • I was really appalled by what Logdon had to say - they didn't not even CHECK on the woman to determine if she was drunk, disturbed, or "acting out in a bizzare way". They simply ignored her. That is wrong, almost criminally so - considering they CHOOSE to work in an psychiatric ER, no one is forcing them to. How hard is it to simply check on the woman? Ask someone to? Anyway, rant over. LOL

    PS: Thanks, I love a Tribe Called Quest :-)

  • And, Logdon, before you respond, understand that I am far from uneducated or ignorant, and I too have a medical background. So we are evenly matched on that end.

  • Logdon,

    So, with your extensive knowlege of the medical field shaping your statements and views, I'd like an answer to the following:

    You honestly feel the staff acted APPROPRIATELY and within the guidelines of what they agreed to do as health practitioners by ignoring a woman for over an hour who collapsed in an ER while seeking medical attention. I am not asking if what they did was UNDERSTANDABLE to you, I am asking if what the did (or did not do) what APPROPRIATE.

  • Dude, it's not even about what they should have done as workers. It's about what they should have done as human beings!

  • Thats messed up nigguh.

  • so wat the fuck does hospital get paid for? omfg!

  • the hospital gets paid nothing. the patients at this place do not have insurance or money and the hospital is funded by the government. This is a perfect reason why the government should not be in charge of health care....

  • info from elsewhere- 6 stff in total fired. hope that security guard who looked and walked away gets further charges brought against him, as well as the doctor who walked away.

  • American Garbage CAPITALISM. Interference of basic human rights to see DOCTOR under EMERGENCY CIRCUMSTANCE.

    Capitalism IS Cannibalism!

  • how sad that this was the woman's last moments. it was almost as if she was calling out for help and none came about. i hope justice will be served!!! pray for her family and those whose carelessness & ignorance caused a woman her life.

  • the sad part is not what the hospital did, the sad part is that a 49 YEAR OLD WOMAN WENT TO THE HOSPITAL BY HERSELF!!! WHERE THE FUCK IS HER FAMILY HELPING HER!!! Another example of the breakdown of the traditional family in America.

  • i don't think she has family here.

  • I agree, now the family is sueing, where the hell where they when she sat there alone for 24 hrs.......EVERYTHING IS ABOUT MONEY......HOW PATHETIC

  • Family lives in Jamaica, Mrs Green worked in New York to send the money to her children to offer them a better life.

    It is unbelievable to see a woman die like this in a hospital of the "richest" country of the world. Perhaps it needs pictures like this (and sues) to let people think about a better health care system.

    Glad to live in Europe, impossible here.

  • that's coldblooded
