Hospital Negligence
Much has been said in the blawgosphere recently regarding the negligent death of Esmin Green as she waited to be treated at Kings County Hospital. Ms. Green, a Brooklyn resident, had been waiting over 24 hours to be treated when she collapsed to the floor and was unattended to for over an hour. Several staff members of the hospital were caught on surveillance tape walking right past the woman even as she was laying unconscious on the ground. When she was finally attended to, she was pronounced dead.
