Hospital Floor Death Blamed on Blood Clots
PlusHospital Floor Death Blamed on Blood ClotsHospital Floor Death Blamed on Blood ClotsThe Associated PressThe New York City medical examiner says a woman who died unnoticed on a Brooklyn hospital floor was killed by blood clots caused by a long period of physical inactivity. (July 11)A disturbing scene caught-on-security-tape: a woman collapses face down on a hospital floor and dies. Now the New York City medical examiner says Esmin Green was killed by blood clots. Green sat in a waiting room for nearly 24 hours when she fell from her chair and slowly died June 19th. The 49-year-old then lay on the floor at the Brooklyn hospital for an hour before a nurse finally checked her pulse. [Notes:NIH graphic] After an autopsy and weeks of tests, officials concluded Friday she died after a blood clot formed in her legs, then traveled through the bloodstream to her lungs. The blood clot was caused by a long period of physical inactivity. And it was complicated by an underlying psychological illness: chronic paranoid schizophrenia. There was national outrage after the recording of her death became public last week. Her family is calling for criminal charges in the case... And they intend to file a 25-million dollar lawsuit. ___ ___, The Associated Press.
