  • ... that when three deaths occurred at Elmhurst Hospital Center in 1978, prompting a homicide investigation, the cause was found to be a shortage of nurses and beds? Source: NY Times 1978
    • ALT1:... that the 500,000 patients that visited New York City's Elmhurst Hospital Center in 2004 spoke 100 languages or dialects, and "roughly half" didn't speak sufficient English? Source: NY Times 2005
  • Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Kurti cabinet
  • Comment: ECTran71 created the article, but I expanded it five times past the original size so it could be eligible for DYK. My preference is for any hook that is not coronavirus-related, though.

5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk) and ECTran71 (talk). Nominated by Epicgenius (talk) at 22:36, 27 March 2020 (UTC).[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.
Overall: Looks good. I prefer the first hook but wonder if it can be reworded to flow better. KAVEBEAR (talk) 03:01, 28 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Other Queens hospitals have language issues too

[edit]

I see that the DYK nomination is sealed, but I have to point out that the line about the 500,000 patients that visited Elmhurst Hospital and spoke 100 languages or dialects could just as easily apply to NewYork–Presbyterian Queens (formerly known as Booth Memorial Hospital). 14 years ago I had an injury that sent me to Booth Memorial, and I encountered doctors and nurses looking for anybody who could speak any Chinese language. Originally they were just looking for anybody who could speak Mandarin or Cantonese, but I reminded them of Manchurian and one other (I forgot what it was). Of course, that would probably be dismissed as WP:OR, but it's still something I thought I'd bring up, because I'm not entirely sure how unique that experience is for Queens-based hospitals. -------User:DanTD (talk) 02:35, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Beds

[edit]

Are the number of beds staffed or license beds? Put this after the number in the infobox, if known. G. Moore 13:35, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
