NYC patient dies on floor in waiting room

Esmin Green, 49 year old black woman was reportedly involuntarily admitted into psychiatric emergency department of Kings County Hospital Center supposedly for "agitation and psychosis" behavior on June 18th. Very scary to SEE this happen in a hospital. WATCH VIDEO
In a CNN report:
“Upon her admission, Green waited nearly 24 hours for treatment, said the civil liberties union, which was among the groups filing suit against the facility last year seeking improved conditions for patients.
The surveillance camera video shows the woman rolling off a waiting room chair, landing face-down on the floor and convulsing.

Absolutely disgusting.
