I know how bad JFK hospital is, they nearly killed my mother. She was in the intensive care ward when I received a call from the duty doctor, asking for permission to take her off a ventilator and give her morphine to help her die. I told him no way. When I got to the hospital from WA State, I walked in on a nurse yelling at her and pulling on her arms, very roughly. She stopped what she was doing and said that my mother had been very uncooperative. Now this was supposed to be a woman who had had a brain stem stroke and was supposedly comatose, but she was fighting the nurse. When I walked over to her bed and told her that I was there now, and everything would be ok, she moved her arms and her legs in response. Then the nurse came over and told her to open her eyes, and she did. The next day, they took the ventilator out and my mother begged to let out of the intensive care ward. The whole time that we were up there, another patient was begging to get out of there also. When they took her down to the regular ward, they also changed her diagnosis and deleted all record of the original diagnosis of a stroke. She had fallen down the stairs and hit her head.
