I made the mistake of leaving my elderly mother in hospital overnight. I got a midnight call from her and rushed to the hospital,where I found she was moved to a mixed ward with incontinence bags on the floor, whist injecting her with a medication to keep her quiet. I told them to stop and stayed with her all night until her release in the morning. Not sure she would have survived had I not gone in.
Yup, my mother went to emergency hospital care recently (at 83, takes no pills, does not consult the medical establishment). Between one and three of us were there every day and night for 7 days to verify, ask, advocate, say no over and over again. Phew what a trip! Thank goodness none of us go "in there" very often!
Good job by your family, making sure your mom always had advocates there to oversee the hospital staff and to make informed decisions! We will never know how many deaths are caused by medical personnel in hospitals when no one is around to see what is happening.
Yes, and I'm sure that most hospital staff - includng doctors - really do their best in a deeply sick and corrupted system. Did you know that public hospital nurses of Quebec (Canada) have, for decades now, been subjected to mandatory overtime? How could we expect them to do great work? To even CARE at this point?
