Some people do not care!

Below, I have posted a video showing a psychiatric patients death. The video is from a  hospital in New York showing a psychiatric patient falling off a chair and onto her face. She dies right on the floor without anyone doing a thing about it. The guard did nothing about it but had the time to stare at the body for an hour. The NY Civil Liberties Union sued King's Hospital last year for neglect. 



Donna Lieberman of the NY Civil Liberties Union states, "A chamber of filth, decay, indifference and danger and seats and end of culture of abuse and neglect". The medical examiner has not figured out what killed Esmen Green. Ms. Esmen was sitting in the emergency room for almost 24 hours before the time of her death. Rob Cohen also adds on that there is a culture of abuse happening to psychiatric patients.



The company that runs the psychiatric unit said, "We are shocked and distressed about the situation". They company  also stated, " It is clear that some of our employees failed to act based on our compassionate standards of care". The staff members that were involved in this situation have been suspended and fired. The video ends with a staff member attending to Ms. Emen, but her time as expired.
