Duane St. Vincent's Medical Malpractice

Eileen Dunn, R.N., tells residents of the Lower West Side of Manhattan that Mayor Michael Bloomberg put the ''knife to the chest'' of St. Vincent's Hospital, and that the mayor is responsible for blocking the restoration of a hospital to the Lower West Side.

Nurse Dunn also said that the municipal governments in Miami, Florida, and Chesapeake Bay, Virginia, either forbid ambulances from taking emergency patients to the kinds of first aid clinics that Lenox Hill plans to build at the O'Toole Building in the West Village, or forbid to license such first aid clinics altogether.

Too bad we can't count on Tom Duane to do the right thing -- and fight for a full-service hospital to replace St. Vincent's.

Sen. Tom Duane - Shamed on St. Vincent's Hospital Closing

In 2010, Sen. Tom Duane said he, Assemblyman Dick Gottfriend, New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, and Rep. Jerry Nadler would restore a full-service hospital at the site of St. Vincent's. As of 2011, each of them has turned their back on us. Here is an exposé on Sen. Tom Duane. More to follow.

Nurse Eileen Dunn spoke at a rally for a new hospital on Saturday, April 30, 2011, at the site of the former St. Vincent's on the one year anniversary of the shady closing of St. Vincent's Hospital. The protest against Sen. Duane took place on Sunday, May 1, 2011, at 30 Fifth Avenue, outside of Brad Hoylman's apartment building. Mr. Hoylman is chair of Manhattan Community Board 2's omnibus committee on St. Vincent's. The 2010 flashback was recorded at a community forum that took place at Our Lady of Pompeii Church in the West Village.

Mike Bloomberg and Christine Quinn Were Booed at a rally for a hospital to replace St. Vincent's

Nurse Eileen Dunn worked for 25 years at St. Vincent's Hospital -- right up until the time that the hospital was closed after shady meetings between the hospital's management, politicians, potential buyers, and officials with the Department of Health.

In this video, which was recorded on 30 April 2011, at the one year anniversary of the hospital's closing, Nurse Dunn asked if the crowd was angry at Mayor Michael Bloomberg or New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn for not doing a thing to help save a full service hospital for the Lower West Side in Manhattan.
