It's New York and it's now.

The Mark Simone Show on 710 W-O-R.

Let's take some calls.

800, 321-0-7-10 is the number.

Let's go to Dr. Bob in Long Island.

Dr. Bob, how you doing?

Okay, Mark, very good job.

I've listened in between patients sometimes and let me tell you, fantastic.

It's great to know the guy's doing surgery listening to this.

No, no, I just want to let you know that things are deteriorating in New York State, New York City, we know.

One of the biggest examples that's happened or anywhere else, we've got notification that they're closing, plan to close the state university hospital

at Downstate in Brooklyn because they figured out that it's better to close the hospital,

Kathy Hogle and her crew, than put the $200 million they need to upgrade the hospital.

It's been there for 50, 60 years.

It's a top grade hospital attached to downstay medical school.

And because of this migrant crisis, I'm sure they're funneling off state fines.

Yeah.

But in the close hospital, the people in that area, what do they do for a hospital then?

Well, Kings County is right there across the street, but that's a, it's a city hospital.

It's not the quality.

It's not an institution that, you know, patients in the Brooklyn area should be, have to go to after all these years of top care.

It's terrible. No, that's a very good point. point i mean the one thing you don't want to close their hospitals that's uh something you you want
