Psych Unit Described as a Chamber of Filth, Decay, Indifference and Danger

From USA Today.  "The psychiatric unit at Kings County Hospital [where that
woman collapsed on the floor and died an hour later, and in that hour none of
the staff did anything to try to help her] in Brooklyn had already been a
subject of complaints by advocates for the mentally ill.  A state agency, the
New York State Mental Hygiene Legal Service, and the New York Civil Liberties
Union filed a lawsuit a year ago, calling the psychiatric center "a chamber of
filth, decay, indifference and danger."  Sometimes the unit runs out of chairs,
according to the lawsuit, forcing people to wait on foam mats or on the waiting
room floor. The suit also claims that bathrooms are filthy and filled with
flies, and that patients who complain too loudly are sometimes handcuffed,
beaten or injected with psychotropic drugs."  I've got news for them -- that's a
typical psychiatric "handling".
