The attorney for the family who has filed the case against Kings County Hospital, Brooklyn said that the victim died from blood clots. These clots were developed due to inactivity after waiting for more than 24 hours in the psychiatric ward of Kings County Hospital.

The surveillance video clearly showed Esmeen Green fell from her seat after waiting for more than 24 hours in the psychiatric ward. She was shaking on the floor, and was left unattended for more than 1 hour. Several hospital workers passed by, simply ignoring her.

The lawyer has reported that blood clots were formed in her legs due to inactivity and has filed a case (wrongful death, and medical negligence) against the Kings County Hospital, New York. These clots traveled through her bloodstream to her lungs, thus causing her death.

A dying person could have been saved, if Kings County Hospital would have examined and treated her in timely fashion. She could have been given anti-coagulation drugs or she could have been told to walk around to remove the clotting in her legs.

Mrs.Green’s sister and daughter have filed a $25 Million lawsuit against the Kings County Hospital which includes criminal, and medical negligence charges against the hospital authorities.

Meanwhile, the hospital authorities have issued statement that they have introduced changes in their psychiatric program, and have reduced waiting times. They have made mandatory checks to be conducted every 15 minutes on patients admitted to their psychiatric ward.
