Harvey Weinstein was hospitalized Monday following an “alarming blood test,” his attorney said, less than a week after the disgraced movie mogul filed a legal claim alleging substandard medical care at New York City’s notorious jail complex.

Weinstein, 72, was sent to Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan for an “emergent treatment due to an alarming blood test result that requires immediate medical attention,” his attorney, Imran Ansari, said in a statement.

“It is expected that he will remain there until his condition stabilizes,” the statement continues. “His deprivation of care is not only medical malpractice, but a violation of his constitutional rights.” […]

In a legal filing last week, Weinstein’s attorneys accused the city of providing him with substandard medical care for a litany of medical afflictions, which include chronic myeloid leukemia and diabetes. …

There are no “rights” to healthcare in our constitution.

Vermin fares better than 6 January political prisoners in non state district jail, it is not right and needs rectification in a stern fashion.

Would it be evil of me to say that I hope his cell mate gave him AIDS?

That’d certainly aggravate his leukemia.

He spends more time in hospital than he does in prison

I remember Michael Ansara, an actor (feather) of Iranian parents.

Imran Reza Ansari is of Indian (dot) extraction.

No but if you lock someone up and they have genuine medical issues, they need to be treated and not deprived care. Many times people say they are having a problem and they are ignored, and then found dead. Unless we are just going to screw the court sentences and no matter what they have been convicted of, just let them all rot and die without care.

You want to be in that place? Crap I don’t even want to be in a regular gulag hospital now.

With advanced Sepsis, he’ll swell up like a grape then die.

Not with a name like that, which is very Persian. Certainly no implication of Hinduism there.

While Imran is a great atty, somehow I expected someone more tribal. But it makes sense now in retrospect.
