WTF haave you ever heard of a such a major hospital shutting?  Ephman hasn't until he heard his local hospital might actually shut down!!!  This is a hospital that does 20,000 surgeries, and handeld 60,000 emergency room visits last year.  NYC is big, but are the remaining hospitals big enough to absorb that?  This is just a big mess on all sides.  Something's gotta give.  Hopefully smarter people then who's been running the show there can fix this.
