Yeah, there's no good reason to check on a patient lying face-down for a long period of time. She's probably just dying.

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.

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.

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. "

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

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!

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

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.

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!!!

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
, by the way its a classic song, no doubt of that

Being a Dallasite I always tought having health insurance was gonna save my butt from these kind of situation, needless to say I once ended up @ a public hospital WHER ONE GUY BEHIND ME WAS CRYING AND VOMITING ALL OVER HIMSELF, he had suffered a stroke a month earlier and his brother tought he was on the verge of having another one. one of the nurses came out , saw him and just closed the curtain of her admittance room like she wanted nothing to do with it.
That was my cue to take my so called marijuana overdose back to my place, damn!

The only redeeming thing about that video was the lard ass security guard who was too lazy to even get off of his/her rolling chair to check. Wouldn't work for me.

this is probably a drunk tank where people are passing out every night. an when they aren't passin out they are yellin, screaming, an puking. i can understand how people start to zone out the reception area. she looked like she was 200 years old too. you can almost see the Reaper walkin out before the nurses show up.

Maybe they thought she was looking for Skittles under the chair
The security guy Called (40 minutes on the phone) his union and they told him to wait another hour, but to check once in 30 minutes to be in the clear..The security if i may say was simply following union procedure before he could do anything...dont blame him he wasnt sure if acting proactive was or not in the union procedure.
