True story: a doctor friend of mine did her residency in emergency medicine at Kings County Hospital about 10 years ago. At some point she realized she was being stalked by a relative of a patient she had seen very briefly before the patient was admitted to the hospital where s/her subsequently died, and reported this to both hospital officials and police. A while later, she arrived home in the wee hours of a morning, and the guy was lying in wait for her and stabbed her. She survived and went back to work very quickly. Police knew the perp’s identity but never caught him — they advised her to move to a high security building (yeah right, in NYC, on a resident’s salary!). She asked the hospital to at least provide her with a security guard to escort her to her car when she was leaving the hospital after dark, but the hospital simply refused.
Young doctors are apparently expendable in this hospital’s view, and given the unconstitutional residency system, it’s not like she had the option to quit and go work somewhere else. But if some deadbeat drug addict passes out and dies on the ER floor while waiting for free “medical” care, it seems the hospital management gets all high and mighty and starts firing people. Our tax dollars at work . . .
I don't recall anything mentioning she was a drug addict, and far from high and mighty the hospital looked to cover their asses by falsifying records first.
that doesn't make any sense. That seems to easy to do. What did she do?
