It is a big mistake to close this hospital down. This is the only hospital in this area that services this community. In a life and death situation, Lutheran Medical Center, Maimonides Medical Center, Methodist Hospital, Coney Island Hospital and Staten Island University Hospital will be too far away for people to get to in time to save their lives. Due to this misjudgement, the lives of the people in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn are being put at risk. The baby boomer population is getting older and will soon need more of these facilities, not less. Have we forgotten September 11, 2001? God forbid there is another 9/11 type attack on this city and there are thousands or millions of injured people. This city is going to need every possible hospital that it has. It should be the focus of the people in charge to keep hospitals open — not close them down. I say: It would be in the best interest of all the politicians that have anything to do with this to keep this hospital open.

@toughguy, n
not only that, but that hospital can’t save lives. The doctors and nurses dont know what the hell theyre doing and the hospital staff dont give a damn. They let people die through negligence and malpractice.
they have uninsured doctors there. and they dont care what happens to the patients just as long as they are not bothered

What a shame for a place of healing to bite the dust. But then again if there were so many unqualified staff, perhaps it was for the best.
