Patient Dies After Being Ignored for an Hour

Someone call Michael Moore, there is a documentary in this.

He's too busy kissing his own ass and building a church in his own image.

His church is McDonald's isn't it.
-
His God is his reflection.
-
Regarding him...we need Michael less...not moore
-

Seriously....how fucked up does a hospital have to be to allow someone to lay there for that amount of time without helping them.
-
Those patrons (and staff are fucking assholes for just sitting there like morons and have no reason for not helping.
-
That hospital must just be a thoroughfare for the Morgue.
-
I know where I am sending my ex-wife if she gets sick.
-

I just got back to the office after stopping by McDonalds on the way back to get a McFlurry. When that guy rolled into shot on his wheely chair it made me laugh so hard that i just coughed up half my McFluffy over my keyboard. Thanks

IGNORANCE....APATHY.....S TUPIDITY!!!
-
About six employees have been fired or suspended after a patient died at a New York hospital after being ignored by staff members.
-
The psychiatric patient had been waiting for help in the emergency room at Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn for 24 hours.
-
Security camera video shows the 49-year-old woman sprawled on the floor for an hour before she died on June 19th.
-
Several employees saw her and didn't help.
-
By the time a nurse kicked her foot, she had already died.
-
The city's Health and Hospitals Corporation says it has increased staff and training and will now check psychiatric patients every 15 minutes.

Ignorance, apathy, stupidity
Isn't that George W. Bush's code of conduct?

Well Ill be damned! I think you maybe right

that is some miserable service right there. that facility should go under some serious reevaluation.

From a link posted by ToxicKoRn below:
" The needless death resulted in the immediate firings of the director of psychiatry, the doctor on duty and the director of security, said a spokeswoman for the city's Health and Hospitals Corp., which runs the municipal hospital.
Two nurses and a security guard were suspended pending hearings. "

Good...and I hope those "pending" charges will soon become manslaughter charges.
-
They deserve nothing less.

My thoughts exactly

Too bad they didn't fire the wheelchair guy for scratching the floors.

thanks for the info. glad to see something done about this.

I think that was Clevelands' wife, Loretta. and this was Quahog community hospital. but don't quote me.

That is well bad - ffs people do any of you care about anything?? Most likely NOT its all ME ME ME.
Sad - very sad.

That's modern society for ya. If it's not all ME ME ME, it's US US US.

Uh...a little help over here would be nice.....anyone......hell o...

Great service they provided there...
Glad to know there are that many helpful people in the world

im sorry but i couldn't help but laugh when dude rolls his chair back and looks right at her then rolls his fat ass right back to his desk....what a dick

black people are not as caring towards each other as the news and media would have you imagine. if there were white people in that room that left the poor old bag dying on the floor, i would have lost my nut and (very mistakenly and regretfully) called them racists - most people dont give a shit about others except their fucking selves... suits me, dont expect me to do shit for yo ass either u cunt

How did you make this assessment that black people are NOT caring? Did you talk to ALL the black people and they said, "Fuck you man we don't care about ourselves!?" Or was it just a couple of black crackheads talking about existentialism? Just wondering??

well you only have to look at the state of affairs in africa. any idiot knows that my statement does not encompass all blacks, i am just saying that the general notion (from my perspective, if you like) is that whites dont give a shit about blacks, all i am saying is that blacks dont either. again this is simply my opinion on the western worlds general opinion. blacks take the piss with each other but if a white does it to a black, all hell breaks loose. basically everyone on the planet deserves to die - you first!

I can appreciate your feeble attempt at sounding intelligent but your statement and response, as opinionated as it is, has some major holes in it. 1. For example, people denotes a group of humans, either with unspecified traits, or specific characteristics. The term people is often used in English as the suppletive plural of person. The term people can collectively refer to all humans or it can be used to identify the citizens of a nation, or members of a tribe, ethnic, or religious group. Therefore, when you use the the phrase "black people," you have encompassed an entire race of people. Only an "idiot" would think otherwise!
2. The video depicts the plight of an ill American woman due to negeligence, not an issue in Africa, which has nothing to due with the price of tea in China either. Very weak point-counter point in regards to an African-Americans and Africans.
3. The basis of your opinions were on stereotypes and NOT factual information. Illusory correlation is the phenomenon of seeing the relationship one expects in a set of data even when no such relationship exists. When people form false associations between membership in a statistical minority group and rare (typically negative) behaviors, this would be a common example of illusory correlation. Illusory correlation is when people tend to overestimate a link between two variables. However, the correlation is slight or not at all. This happens because the variables capture the attention simply because they are novel or deviant. This is one way stereotypes form and endure. David Hamilton and Terrence Rose (1980) found that stereotypes can lead people to expect certain groups and traits to fit together, and they overestimate the frequency of when these correlations actually occur. People overestimate the core association between variables such as stereotyped groups and stereotypic behavior.

FINALLY somebody else but ME ( Non-white ) argues the counter racism siege with articulate vengeance and I'm only assuming that you are a person of color because of your passion, I could be wrong. No matter what your race is, you argue a FINE point! As for you, Its all good in the hood, I'm surprised at your uneducated attempt at demeaning black people, in the past you've been somewhat on point with keeping things like this at bay & now you are the one bringing garbage to the table...... waving the finger of shame!

i am not demeaning black people, dont put words in my mouth. i am demeaning human nature regardless of race, people can do some sadistic things to each other. as for me being uneducated, youre probably right, i didnt mean to stir up a big argument, i only replied to someones comment and sorry if my views are a bit raw sometimes, many tell me the same about my temperament and touchyness, i am ony here to watch funny videos and listen to others' comments
night night

People overestimate the core association between variables such as stereotyped groups and stereotypic behavior.

Normally. I won't chime in on racist arguments on the internets because even when you are right, they still don't get it. But to simplify your argument (which was brilliant), racists do tend to focus only on the behavior that validates their distorted views. They don't acknowledge the incidents that are contrary to their views. In this case, they probably see blacks everyday acting in "normal" or even exemplary behavior a hundred times over yet ignore it for the one incident that fits their bias.
I only have one conclusion and that is they need to turn their own shortcomings unto others. Me, I tend to ignore them.

A brilliant argument? More like a working copy & paste.

hey man, a half page wikipedia article doesnt prove shit!!! just so you know

I expect that from you. I still care tho'

Oh, this too.
http://en.wikipedia.org/w iki/People

And this some how invalidates the argument? So it wasn't "their" argument but someone else's words that makes their argument's point. It's still a brilliant argument and right to the point.

Joining an epic comment train...nothing to add though, just riding the train...Choo Choo....

Amen Truth hurts.
I was wondering when Will Hunting was going to interrupt him and lay down the plagiarism law.

I'm sorry but LMFAO @ 00:56 mark, when the security guy, not only does nothing, but does it from the comfort of his chair that he has clearly wheeled a good 50 yards down the corridor just to see if from that lower vantage point, he could see up her dress! That is one determined, donut munching perverted fuckwit!!!

Ironically they were watching Diagnosis Murder on the TV.

You think she had a bad day!!! Check this out from the CCTV at my apartment block!!!!

What goes around comes around apparently.

Yes and at the end of the video : MIRACLE : Security guy stands up and walks !

Maybe that was George Carlin last Sunday. Guess those catholic hospitals heard too much of his Catholic bashing. What's the difference between a heart attack and a failed heart? an excuse..

I don't want to live in this careless world anymore. I'm gonna kill myself. I just have to learn my girlfriend to film when I jump, to capture the footage on my PC, to edit it and then to convert it to flash or WMV. And then she has to upload it to NothingToxic. Pfff, too much work, I'll just fuck her instead

i think that would be a better idea somehow mate. she allways likes it when i do it anyway

Wow, this is great. Can you film, capture, edit, convert and upload ? Than I can still kill myself and you can have my girlfriend. She is a stupid moron, but likes sex every single minute of the day

shit happens , then you die
