A 49-year-old mental patient waiting for a bed in Kings County Hospital fell out of a chair and died an hour before anyone came to check on her, the Health and Hospitals Corp. said Friday.
HHC President Alan Aviles ordered the suspension or termination of six hospital employees involved in Thursday's "serious incident."
They included staff directly responsible for the patient's care as well as managers of security and clinical services.
Aviles said the death was "under further review" and has been reported to health oversight agencies and law enforcement authorities.
HHC said the unidentified woman was brought to the hospital's Psychiatric Emergency Department on Wednesday morning suffering from "agitation and psychosis." She refused medical review but was involuntarily admitted.
She was put in a chair early Thursday to wait for a bed to become available in the inpatient unit. A preliminary investigation determined the woman fell from the chair to the floor and stayed there for an hour before she got any medical attention, HHC said. She was unresponsive when help came. The agency did not give the cause of death.
A hospital source said last night that new patients are supposed to be checked every 30 minutes.

@wastelandwonderer While this is true what you say, and I find it completly horrible that it happened, the reason this does happen is because black people haven't done anything about it yet... The million man march did something... Martin Luther king did something.... but no one can rely on just that to make a difference, everybody has to go out there and demand equal rights...

Stupid racism aside,the bottom line is humans become cold and desensitized to violence,death,and all of the above.you can all thank your t.v. 4 that..as long as the death doesn't involve the individual..
