Loading ...NYU Langone Health Cobble Hill ER refused to immediately treat three NYPD detectives after they were attacked… because staff falsely accused them of being ICE.
Let that sink in.
Wounded law enforcement officers sought emergency care.
Hospital staff disarmed them.
Delayed treatment.
All because of an ideological assumption.
This is not opinion. This is law.
Under EMTALA, any hospital receiving Medicare funds is federally required to medically screen and stabilize anyone presenting with an emergency condition. Status does not matter. Uniform does not matter. Politics do not matter.
Refusing or delaying care is a federal violation.
Medical ethics are clear as well. Care is based on need, not ideology. When a hospital lets political hysteria override triage, it abandons both the Hippocratic Oath and federal law.
