Man Taken From Fracture Ward To Alcohol Ward At Bellevue
Relatives allege mistreatment of Joseph Whalen after injuries from excavation for the new Pennsylvania station. Whalen, from Brooklyn, was first placed in the fracture ward at Bellevue Hospital then moved to the alcoholic ward for delirium. His transfer prompted complaints from his brother-in-law Patrolman John Eaton. Superintendent McCahill said the move was necessary due to ward capacity and delirium concerns. Whalen was later moved back to the fracture ward.
