Video of Dying Mental Patient Being Ignored Spurs Outrage…

Having just gotten out of the hospital yesterday… I can attest to the lousy treatment that patients get …Even when one does have insurance.

New York City’s Health and Hospitals Corporation agreed on Tuesday to increase the monitoring of patients at a public psychiatric ward in Brooklyn. The agreement came after a videotape surfaced showing a patient collapsing onto a floor after waiting nearly 24 hours to be seen, and lying there for about an hour while hospital workers did nothing for her. The patient soon died.
