The massive nurses strike hitting three major New York City hospital systems now has a body count, union officials claim. At least one death at Mount Sinai — an adult in the intensive care unit — was attributable to reduced care because of the strike, according to Darla Joiner, a union official who heads Mount Sinai’s bargaining unit. Katie Duke, a retired nurse practitioner at Mount Sinai who was picketing Saturday for the NYSNA, told The Post she regularly hears from other staffers at the hospital that the strike has turned deadly, including the case of the ICU patient who was on a machine that helps circulate blood flow and breathing.
