Kings County Hospital, Brooklyn


At the Kings County Hospital, Brooklyn, a woman collapsed and was laying face down on the waiting room floor for OVER AN HOUR before anyone - staff, security guards, nurses, other patients, anyone - decided she should be attended to or assisted.

By which time she was dead.

New York City Health and Hospitals Corp - big-monied owners of the Kings County - have said they will launch an investigation into the matter and have already fired six employees.

I certainly hope this included everyone in the hospital's HR department who must have been responsible for hiring such an ignorant, uncaring & inhumane bunch of poorly-trained (but presumably little-more-than minimum-waged) staff.

Hospitals grip my shit at the best of times, but this story really has a strong wrench around my poop!
