Our Li’l Plaxico Connection
Plaxico Burress, the Giants star who shot himself in the leg at a Manhattan nightclub last Friday, has been roundly ridiculed in the media. And now Cornell might have a little part to play, emphasis on a little: he was allegedly treated at Weill Medical-affiliated hospital by Dr. Josyann Abisaab, a doctor that Fox Sports reports “does not work directly for New York-Cornell Hospital but is affiliated with the facility.” Her affiliation: an assistant professor in Emergency Medicine, according to Weill Medical’s directory; she’s been there for over 15 years. Investigators are saying that Abisaab knew Plaxico from working with Giants’ team members previously and that she intentionally failed to report the gunshot victim to police (a law, apparently!). The best part: Plaxico’s explanation to the hospital officials that took him in:
Following the shooting after midnight Saturday, Burress checked into the hospital under the name Harris Smith. He told officials there he had been shot at an Applebee’s restaurant.
Hey, two guys shot each other at Toys R Us earlier that Black Friday, so nowhere is safe. Not even your family-friendly Applebee’s Neighborhood Grille.
