Medical Malpractice Claim Sure to Follow Hospital Neglect
The unthinkable occurred. In Kings County Hospital, a psychiatric patient died in the emergency room waiting area while being totally ignored by hospital personnel. The patient was sent to the emergency room to wait for an in-patient bed. She had been sent to the same emergency room the day before with someone to escort her. An outrageous surveillance video of the hospital emergency room waiting area shows the patient falling off of her chair and lying on the floor for about an hour before anyone from the hospital even notices her.
Surely a medical malpractice case will be filed against the Hospital and Hospital personnel. In order to prove negligence, the plaintiff will ultimately have to prove that the Hospital and its personnel deviated from good medical care and that their deviations were a factual cause in causing the death of the plaintiff. Watch the video and judge for yourself.
