This woman brings shame and discredit to the vast majority of nurses (including me) who take what they do very seriously, and who gladly assume every day the incredible responsibility to protect human life and dignity.
If I could, I'd hang the b*tch myself.
Hang her? Please!
Bring in his fellow Marines to shoot the bitch!
I do IT in a clinic.
Couldn’t have more admiration for the nursing staff. They are the clinic and the rest of us, providers included, are just the support staff.
It is commonly taught to oerform cpr until relieved by a medic from the fire dept. who come after you call 911.
This wasn’t done.
I have a feeling these ladies were calloused to human suffering and forgot their patients were human beings.
I am sure the looked at this man as a problem...he probably pushed the nurses call button a lot and pissed them off.
I went through similar stuff when my mom was in a particular skilled nursing facility that was not doing a good job.
As a cautionary tale to any freeper who may have to put their parent or loved one in a skilled nursing facility, memory care unit, or just a plain old nursing home....
Make sure it is close by to where you are. Make sure you are there to advocate for your loved one....like everyday. Make sure you keep notes and quiz your loved one on what happened in their life that day. Ensure you write notes about everything. Have regular care conferences with the supervisors and compare your notes to their charting. You will find they are missing stuff (like missing notations about falls) if they are doing a bad job.
And make sure they are not overmedicating your loved one. I experienced this with my mom.
She was prescribed pain medicine which was in a range of x milligrams to y milligrams every 4-6 hours as needed.
I would call her and she would sound drunk. I would come see her and she woulf be fine.
After 2 weeks I established a recognizable pattern where in the eveing and overnight the “night crew” was maxing her out on dosage and giving it to her earlier in the shift so they would not have to “deal with her” hitting the call button.
She began having falls and other issues, I believe, due to the overmedication issue. She at one point was days away from going home and all of a sudden she began falling down.
I cannot over emphasize the need for people to be close by (an hour drive away is NOT close by) so you can advocate for your loved one.
The system will take over if you do not and the system is ok with them getting worse or dying
