Woman Dies, Ignored, on Waiting Room Floor
Newser.comBrooklyn hospital staff overlooks ER patient for over an hour: recently uncovered surveillance footage shows a woman collapsing in a Brooklyn psychiatric hospital, then lying on the floor for more than an hour while hospital staff ignored her. Esmin Green, 49, had been waiting for treatment for almost 24 hours when she collapsed at 5:32am and lay convulsing on the floor. She stopped moving at 6:07am, and was found dead at 6:35.
The hospital has suspended or fired six employees, CNN reports. Records appear to have been falsified to cover up the incident, saying Green went to the bathroom at 6am, and was “sitting quietly” at 6:20. The tape and records were found by the New York Civil Liberties Union, which is suing for negligence. “Look, I saw the film like everybody else, and I was—horrified is much too nice a word,” said Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

We should be ashamed and sickened, but I think those emotions are illustrated by those who actually care; given that there are those who demonstrably do not feel any compassion by way of ignoring a person in need, shame will be lost on them. Grief over personal loss and social embarrassment will be the extent of their emotional display.
How do you make people care if not forced with a threat of personal loss or harm?
This is very sad and angering.
