Disturbing video: Woman left to die in hospital waiting room
Staff Reporter | Posted July 1, 2008 11:28 PMA 49-year-old woman in need of medical care collapsed in a hospital waiting room in New York last month and fell on the floor convulsing to her death as medical staff walked by her and ignored her, according to a disturbing new video released this week.
In the video, the woman is seen falling off her chair in the waiting room while onlookers and hospital staff don't even bother to help her. Forty-five minutes after she collapsed, the hospital staff finally tend to her, but at that point, it's too late.
The incident took place at Kings County Hospital in New York on June 19. Critics accuse the hospital of neglect, and the hospital is now the target of what is described as a "massive lawsuit," according to WABC TV News in New York.

This just goes to show how uncaring some people can be about the welfare of those who clearly need assistance. That one woman apparently didn't feel any personal duty to help. Even if the lady was a public aid recipient as someone suggested, she sure didn't get any aid that day.
Damn shame!
