My mother in-law was kept at a facility when we wanted to transfer her to a better one, but we were given lots of run-around and people insisted everything was fine. She died. She might have died anyways, but we'll never get to know. We had serious concerns with her care and nobody was her advocate to getting better care, except my wife (her daughter) and she was dealing with a morass of bureaucracy that nobody should have to deal with when someone is in critical condition. I follow the age old advice of most of the older members of my family: stay out of hospitals as long as you can, once you go in, you don't have much control over when you come out again, if at all.
- hobs 8y agoYep, I was extremely strenuous in keeping up with nurses and doctor's about my father's condition, and luckily he only left with a blood clot that permanently changed his life due to their negligence. Didn't sue because it was too hard to prove.
- LeftTurnSignal 8y agoWhen I was a child, I was hospitalized for some issues. I spent a week there, and I only got worse. The Drs would dance around the questions when my parents asked to have me moved to a different hospital. At the end of the 6th day, my dad told them he was going to take me to a better hospital whether or not they agreed. (There was more words, but that's besides the point). Within an hour there was an ambulance taking me to the next hospital. If my dad didn't force their hand, I would have died later that night. All because they either didn't care, wanted the money, or were actually that shit of Drs. This story makes me angry.
