BREAKING: METHODIST HOSPITAL – ADDERALL DRUG RING??

FIPS has done its share of investigative reporting when it comes to the clusterfuck that is the Methodist Hospital, and then again here we discovered that Methodist WILL give you a c-section whether you want it or not!

Until now we thought the only good news about Methodist was that they have hawt ER doctors, but NOW THIS: Methodist is the place to go to get all the good shit (like Adderall... this IS Park Slope after all, ppl.)

Some bitch (Pauline Wiltshire – anyone knows her?) who lives in the nabe had a whole operation set up that involves residents and workers at the Methodist Hospital. This went down for the last 1.5 years: she got a shit-ton of prescripsh Adderall, placed ads on Craigslist (like this one – you're welcome), accepted payments via PayPal, and mailed the amphetamines via the USPS. I sure hope she played it safe and sent the shit via certified registered mail with a tracking number and a delivery confirmation signature.

Apparently she's a student at Windsor University School of Medicine in the West Indies (the fuck?), and she wasn't coming to kick it back in the BK until Christmas. Staying consistent with her good business practices, when undercover Drug Enforcement Administration agents e-mailed her for some Addy, she made sure she could satisfy the demand. So she had her sister Sarah (who works at a law firm!) send the pills from Tennessee. Stellar customer service, if you ask me.

I can't find Pauline's mug shot unfortch (she's under house arrest on a 50K bail), and Sarah hasn't been charged (yet?), but this pic of the sisters on The Smoking Gun is almost as good.

So, again, does anyone know her?? I want her Methodist contacts...

BREAKING: Roof Collapse in Park Slope!?

This was sent at 1:59pm from NotifyNYC:

"Due to a roof collapse at 2nd Street and 4th Avenue in Brooklyn, 4th Avenue is closed to traffic from Atlantic Avenue to 8th Street in both directions. Expect traffic delays in the area."

Yikes!

Anyone have scoop?

UPDATE: Park Slope Patch has got the scoop. Apparently the roof collapsed due to snow, however, no one was hurt!

G Train Bloodbath

photo: Daily NewsDaym.

I knew shit was effed on the F yesterday morn when I started to get some scoop via Twitter, but the sitch was way more fucked up than I could have imagined. Some dude, Ryan Devaney, freaked the hell out, stabbed his mom to death and then went after his dad (critically injuring him) before throwing himself onto the tracks of the 15th Street G train in Windor Terrace.

Devaney was hit by an oncoming G train, and the dude SURVIVED.

According to the NY Post, the guy was mentally ill, and had been struggling for ages to keep it together (good reminder to stay the hell on your meds, ppl).

Needless to say, this whole shebang ensured that a whole hell of a lot of people were late for work today.

OH, and we also received our second pathetic vague Gawker reference when @blindcavefish's tweet to me was screencapped for their post. [Yay? I guess?].

I Can't Fucking Believe it: NYC Doesn't Even Make Most Obscene City List

I was shocked and appalled to read that New York isn't even close to being the country's most potty-mouthed city. Business Insider has taken to doing an annual survey of the nation's top ten obscene burgs by typing George Carlin's seven dirty words into Google Trends and scoring the cities that come up. Their list:

1. Ashburn, VA. Huh? "The 90,000-person suburb was in the news recently as the hometown of Farooque Ahmed, who was charged with assisting in planning a terrorist attack on D.C.'s metro system."

2. Tampa, FL

3. Herndon, VA. The little city that could, "Herndon was one of the two cities to place in six of the seven top ten lists. This D.C. suburb placed number one on last year's list."

World AIDS Bagel Breakfast Disrupted At GAP by Giant Human Bagel Activists

How could we have missed this breaking story? Well, it was breaking last week, anyway.

Several protesters dressed as giant bagels were arrested last week at Mayor Bloomberg's Annual AIDS Bagel Breakfast at the Brooklyn Public Library.

Now, I'm not entirely sure what bagels have to do with AIDS. And I'm not entirely sure what dressing up as a giant bagel has to do with homelessness but here's the whole "schmear" (oy!) from the Brooklyn Paper:

A “schmear campaign” against Mayor Bloomberg’s World Aids Day Bagel breakfast at the Central Branch of the Brooklyn Public Library got unexpectedly sticky on Wednesday morning as cops bagged nine unruly protestors who donned bagel costumes and laid down in traffic in the middle of Grand Army Plaza. 

Each year Bloomberg holds a bagel breakfast on World AIDS Day to re-commit himself to the fight against AIDS in New York City, then proposes budgets that cut services to low income New Yorkers suffering from the disease, said (Housing Works CEO Charles) King, who was dressed up like a sesame seed bagel.

Apparently, the bagel costumes were not designed for handcuffs so the cops had to call for reinforcements to help hoist protesters back onto their feet.
