Jon Verrier came into the emergency room at St. Barnabas Hospital complaining of a rash. Eight hours later he was found "stiff, blue, and cold" in a waiting room chair, having died unnoticed several hours earlier, an emergency room worker told ABC 7.
The 30-year-old arrived at the Bronx hospital at 10pm on Jan. 19, and the hospital says his name was called three times between then and 2am.
In NYC, long wait times seem to be more common than not. NYC's closure rate is pretty high for hospitals and beds are limited in any ER. A rash rates pretty low on a triage scale.
And? Better him then me...Life is tough and hard. Sorry the rainbow fairy and fluffy cloud lords weren't there to help him.
And better you than I.
