RIP King-Harbor

The troubled hospital shuts down:

Martin Luther King Jr.-Harbor Hospital shut down its emergency room Friday night and will close entirely within two weeks, a startlingly swift reaction to a federal decision to revoke $200 million in annual funding because of ongoing lapses in care.

The surrounding hospitals are put under further pressure, as patients will be redirected. I also wonder what’s going to happen to the house staff there. (via a reader tip)
