Kings County ER Psychiatric Facility "Highly Dangerous"

The New York Times reports today (May 28, 2009 p. A21) that a United States Department of Justice report noted that the Kings County Hospital psychiatric unit conditions were "highly dangerous and require immediate attention." The report also found that ". . . in at least three cases ... employees falsified records to hide their neglect."

My suggestion to readers: invite a local prominent political figure (preferably one with ambitions) to join you in a visit to a local ER just to look and listen. If the political figure agrees, it will be a learning experience for both of you. If the political figure refuses, let the voters in your area know.
