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.

And americans don't want health care? And they're going to impeach Obama for it? All Ameicans should watch this video before impeaching Obama. Anti-christ my ass!
If you had health care like Canada does then Americans won't be dying like that.
America sucks.

Wow! This video really infuriates me. This woman dies on the Brooklyn, New York psychiatric hospital floor & there are at least four patients & workers just sitting on their butts for 1 plus hours doing nothing & not caring about other human's lives. This really disgust me the apathy, lack of concert, lack of compassion, caring for others. This is so coldhearted, lazy, cruel, & heartless. It's very sad that some people are like this. *sigh*

Why does this happen you ask? Why can't America improve healthcare? Because they don't have enough money. Don't tell me they do, cuz they don't, otherwise they would spend it on healthcare. It's too much money that they don't want to spend on healthcare and would rather boost the economy instead.

no its not "people", its a problem with society and Americas is the worst in the world. talkin about the wealthiest country on the planet who could've cured world hunger 10 times over dosent even have free health care. instead billions and billions are pumped into war-fare so u can rape other countries of there resources. who cares how many innocent people are being killed in Afganistan, as long as u got gas in ur car eh. vile country full of vile people..
