No, they took her to Lennox Hill Hospital. It's a good, even great hospital, but it's not known for it's neorological department - where as there are 2 or three other Manhattan hospitals that have arguably the best brain surgeons in the world.
They took her to Lennox because she was brain dead long before she left probably either hospital in Montreal. They took her to Lennox because she was surely going to die and Lennox is in the more convenient Manhattan neighborhood for the family.
I guess I”m not up to date then. Last Tuesday I read the following:
The hospital tells TMZ Richardson is sedated and suffering from brain swelling — but, contrary to some reports, is not brain dead. We can’t confirm the accuracy of the hospital’s statements, or the other reports circulating the web — fact is, right now we just don’t know.
I assumed they took her out of Canada to try and get the better Dr’s.
