A hidden video from 2014 showed nurses laughing as a World War II veteran repeatedly called for help and died while in their care.
The family of James Dempsey, 89, of Woodstock, Ga., hid a camera in the late veteran’s room in the Northeast Atlanta Health and Rehabilitation Center which captured the night he died.
The video showed the decorated WWII veteran repeatedly calling for help, saying he could not breathe. It also showed the nurses failing to take life-saving measures and laughing as they tried to start an oxygen machine.

TBH, I’ve never seen *any* medical staff member behaving like that as someone is dying, no matter how callous.
Maybe the staff WAS terrible and cruel,but this particular video is not conclusive as it is presented.
Need more info.
Also need info as to why the family installed the camera.
Did this man’s family suspect abuse? Very possible.

I agree, there is a level of horror about what they did, but CPR isn’t it.
** It also showed the nurses ...**
Were they really *nurses* ... or nurses’ aides [CNAs]?
Nurse aides in most nursing home facilities are HS dropouts. How do I know? .... well, I was in a nursing facility and several of the CNAs were my former students. Students who did not graduate HS. They went and got a GED and some fly-by-night *training*. For they most part, they are not nice people.
Nursing homes are dreadful, dreadful places. Families place their loved ones in them, believing that the patient is getting good care; care the family can not do themselves, for whatever reason.
Affirmative action hires in action treating a white veteran.
