SUNY Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, NYC, came under fire when two top transplant surgeons blew the whistle on medical malpractice, lack of patient care, and understaffing at the hospital’s cardiothoracic surgery department and cardiothoracic intensive care units and were subsequently fired.
New York City is home to millions of people and also receives a constant stream of tourists as well as business visitors who travel to the city every year for various reasons. On the busy and bustling streets of this densely packed city, road accidents are unfortunately far too common.
Keeping the roads of a busy and bustling city clean is no small task. New York City’s Department of Sanitation achieves this through the use of street sweepers. Considering their huge size, these machines require a lot of space and if you are not careful around one of these vehicles, you may find yourself hurt in an accident that has devastating consequences. If the accident involving a street sweeper is found to have been caused due to the negligence of the person driving it, the city can be considered at fault for the incident.
Famed for giving lip injections to Snooki from the Real Housewives of Jersey Shore, plastic surgeon Dr. Ramtin Kassir Rice faces a lawsuit for a botched nose job. Arevik Khurdayan, 34, went to the doctor to fix her deviated septum. The surgeon and his staff convinced her to undergo a nose job that left her with even more problems.
One of the best ways to get around New York City is on foot. But unfortunately, the city ranks as one of the country’s most dangerous metropolitan areas for pedestrians. Thanks to the state’s Vision Zero initiative, fatal accidents involving pedestrians have been declining in recent years.
