  • Oppose: Much less concise, and no evidence of WP:COMMONNAME usage provided (and seems unnecessary, since most readers probably already understand that mental health treatment is commonly offered by medical centers). — BarrelProof (talk) 17:51, 10 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Death in childbirth edit

This anesthesiologist at Woodhull, Dmitry Shelchkov, made repeated mistakes in delivering babies, one of which finally caused a fatality in 2020. He lost his license in 2021. This death got extensive media coverage and demonstrations by community activists.
