In Plain Sight, A Woman Dies Unassisted on Hospital Floor

* Woman collapses and dies in mental emergency room
* She lies for an hour while staff walk past
* Claims medical records falsified to cover up

SHOCKING surveillance camera footage shows a woman collapsing and dying on a hospital emergency room floor and then lying for an hour while staff walk past.
The video shows 49-year-old Esmin Green keeling forward in a psychiatric emergency room in Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn, New York, where she was admitted to treat agitation and psychosis on June 19.
Green is shown clutching at her stomach, thrashing on the floor before lying face-first on the tiled floor with her upper body lodged in the corner space between two sets of chairs.
Two other patients move around the room, security guards walk past and one even stares at Green for about 20 seconds but the woman is left prone until one of the patients gets help after about an hour has elapsed.



The video is being used as evidence by lawyers suing the hospital for neglect and the alleged abuse of mental health patients.
The lawsuit will also allege that staff have falsified medical charts to cover up their inaction because during a period that Green is seen thrashing on the floor, her medical chart claims she was "awake, up and about, went to the bathroom", New York's Daily News reports.
The two security guards shown in the video and four other hospital workers have been fired over the incident.
