The trouble with nursing homes besides sucking up huge amounts of money, is the murder, manslaughter, and abuse going on.
My wife worked in a Nursing Home with 3 out of 4 star rating. Previously they had changed the name because of a staff member getting a non-senior patent pregnant
Dr's who visit nursing homes tend to be the least successful doctors, similar to having a public defender. They work for a temp agency type situation.
A patient went out on a day cruise and returned to the nursing home not feeling well afterward. Vital signs were terrible, but the nurse called the lady DR. He said to check them again in the morning. Lady dies, 911 should have been called and both the Nurse and DR are guilty of neglagence.
That is why I wonder when all those patients became sick in the nursing homes, why didn’t they call 911 and send to a hospital (not that hospitals would have taken measures to help them survive, because there are good and not so good hospitals. There are hospitals out for money too.
In your case the nurse and nursing home should be sued. Proving the doctor said that is another story, unless the nurse documented a telephone order verbatim, and then it is still iffy.
Why was there a non senior patient?
Nursing homes are not just for seniors...
