We had an episode with Mom today. Her breathing was very hard and labored.....the lung doctor was in with her when we walked in and asked us why she was breathing hard.....we told him we didn't know.
Seems her chest drain had become disconnected when they moved her to a chair earlier in the morning....and none of the nurses noticed it.
When we arrived at 11 am we noticed the machine wasn't making its normal sounds and asked a nurse she said it was normal......but then saw it had become disconnected and tried to hide the fact from us.... as she plugged it back in.......and then we went nuts.
They also had not changed her bed or given her a bath ....and Doggie went postal on them.
Then the same nurse asked my Mom if she wanted 2 percosets for her pain.....2!!!!
It would have killed her.
Then as they were getting her back in bed one of them yelled at my mother to stand up in a very loud tone......not a brilliant move on his part.
The Head of Nursing will be called.
Probably she'll be getting more attention now!
The staff is going to be extra careful.
