A 49-year-old woman who was brought to the psychiatric ward at Kings County Hospital died after collapsing in the waiting area. She was found unresponsive on the floor 45 minutes later, despite being surrounded by other people who did nothing to help her.

This is insane. How many times does this kind of thing happen where the video never gets out? Awful stuff.

[Tim]

This is truly terrible. Bet it happens more than we see here.

[Amy Pars]

How could they just leave her!

This is exactly what we learned about in Psychology - diffusion of responsibility. How could no one do anything?? Such a sad story.

its sad to say that money rules in the USA. if KIETH LEDGER went to the emergerncy room before he overdosed, would people let him die without a care?

I just noticed your comment. I think you are totally correct about Heath. Come back soon and post some more stuff. You have good info.

Still shocking. Do you think it should be a candidate for Video of the Year. Top 20?

This is scary and I'm sure it happens in other places. Does anyone have any other horror stories like this one? This cannot be the only one. Need better health care in this country for sure...

That is so scary! I've had some bad emergency room experience, but this is ridiculous!
