We have been told that the Lenox Hill Nortwell Health Center on 7th Avenue between 12th and 13th Streets has four hospital beds to complement its state of the art Emergency Room. On June 23rd, I unfortunately got an inside tour while recovering from an allergic reaction to something I ate. I was treated in the ER at 8 pm, and the doctors wanted to keep me on an IV and monitor me till 5 am, so I was “admitted,” and was treated, until sunrise, in the brand new hospital room photographed above. It was great not to have to be shipped over to Beth Israel or NYU.—Text and photo by Arthur Schwartz.
