Hospitals in NYC in Trouble

Two major NYC hospitals - NYU Langone Medical Center and Bellevue Hospital - were closed by Sandy.  I had thought they would reopen by now.  But that date is at least several weeks away for Bellevue and unspecified for NYU Langone.  Patients are being treated in other hospitals in the city, but this extra load will eventually be a major problem in the view of the director of trauma at Bellevue,"All systems can work at above capacity for some time without significant detriment.  But, with time, people will tire, over-worked systems will fail, and patients will suffer.  No question in my mind that the current status of care in Manhattan is not sustainable for any length of time."
