[doesnt suffer fools gladly]

What I don't understand is that the woman's daughter was with her. In two hours, she only asked twice about the delay. I would have been ALL over them. I've been there, done that, with my parents and my husband. My parents both died in nursing homes. I was there every single day, checking every detail of their care.

I'm not placing blame on the victim or her daughter. The hospital staff is clearly at fault. I'm simply saying, had that been my loved one, I never would have allowed that much time to pass.

Think Shirley McClaine at the nursing station in 'Terms of Endearment'. I've been there, done that.

The daughter DID try:

"As they waited, Monique Vance told Barrett, she twice asked nurses when her mother would see a doctor. The first time she asked, a nurse said her mother was next on the list to be called, Barrett said. The second time, a nurse told her that two ambulances had just arrived with more urgent cases.

"She said she was half-tempted to call 911 from the hospital just to get her mom back there," Barrett testified."
