Chicago's Mount Sinai Hospital temporarily stopped accepting patients Sunday morning because they were at capacity following a series of shootings, a hospital official said.

The hospital went "on bypass" in the early morning, said Roberta Rakove, Senior VP for External Affairs.

A few years back there was s TV show called "Life In The ER" or something like that. On one episode from a Chicago E.R. the doctors were complaining they didn't go to medical school just to take care of gang banger gun shot victims.

I can’t think of anything that wouldn’t be cliché.

They’re black, though.

So this is not newsworthy to the press.

If the leftists want to impress us with their gun laws, apply them to Chicago and when they stop all shooting deaths, then show us how it works.

This isn’t the fault of leftist policies.

This isn’t the fault of the ‘gentle’ racism of white libs.

This is caused by out of control Neo Nazi’s roaming the streets of Chicago. We just need to pass a law...

The white supremacist, white nationalist mayhem in the Chicago inner city that has spawned over a thousand shootings and hundreds of deaths this year needs to be addressed. /S

I know there is a web site that tracks the shootings in ChiCongo but is there one for Baltimore?

Although they don’t like to do so hospital ERs sometimes do that.The ER where I worked (for 20+ years) did so when the hospital had no open ICU beds,a rare situation but not unheard of.

When will CBS report this is Trump’s fault? When will the fake Hispanic be interviewed on this and become a fake Black? Yeah, that won’t happen because Chicago shootings don’t make the evening news.
