Psychiatric patient died after being left in chair for 22 hours
A 50 year-old psychiatric patient passed away at a North Carolina mental hospital after a nurse left him in a chair without food or water supply for around 22 hours. “The hospital’s security video recorded Sabock’s care from April 28, when he choked on his medicine while a nurse stood by without helping him, and through his day without food until his death from a heart problem,” the paper says. “Health care technicians, according to the report, are seen on the recording watching television through the night, playing cards, and talking on a cell phone while they were in the room with Sabock.”
This story reminds me with another similar shocking story happened in the emergency room at Kings County psychiatric Hospital, when a lady was waiting for about 24 hours in the emergency room without help then she died and people around just ignored her. The story was fully caught on camera, you can watch it here.
