NYC Settles With Family of Woman Who Died on Hospital Floor
The family of a woman who died after waiting more than 24 hours to be treated at a New York City psychiatric emergency room will receive $2 million as part of a settlement with the city, the New York Times reports. Video of the incident showed workers at Kings County Hospital Center ignoring Esmin Elizabeth Green as she lay on the floor of the city-run hospital. A federal report issued earlier this year found multiple problems at the facility, including attempts by employees to falsify records to cover up neglect.
