Not saying the Walmart employee wasn’t at fault, but wondering about the hospital that possibly discharged her too early. I’m a nurse, work with the frail elderly, and see it all the time.

I would agree, what gives with the hospital? If she was diabetic her risk was greater as well. I would think that since most people would recover that the blame isn’t all Wal-Mart’s fault, did they not sue others in this case?

May she RIP.

“but wondering about the hospital that possibly discharged her too early.”
Isn’t a greater danger at her age that she spend too much time in a hospital bed? I’ve known several very elderly who went into a hospital for something minor and because they were bedridden for a few weeks lost so much muscle mass that they were never able to walk again and just deteriorated from there.
