PLEASE READ!!!! VERY IMPORTANT!!!

My 81 year old Father, with a myriad of health issues, including advanced dementia, was transported via ambulance to the ER this past Monday. After describing to the physician and multiple nurses that I strongly believed this had some correlation to a new blood thinner he was recently prescribed, they promised they would immediately look into it. He had a CT scan of his head ONLY, which was mistake #1. After staying with him for several hours into the night, I left to get some rest, assured that he would be placed into a room very soon to continue testing. I returned the next day....TO FIND MY DAD STILL IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM!!! He had been there for over 25hrs. He was slouched over and almost onto the floor, he had been sitting in his own urine for who knows how long, and had not had a single person check on him for hours....but it gets worse....after raising a fit in the ER when I found him, they finally moved him to the third floor unit a full 26hrs after initially going to the ER....still, no further testing had been done to check on his current condition or symptoms. I spoke with his RN on the third floor and told her his abdomen looked abnormally large and "gushy". She tapped and listened to his tummy and determined that he definitely sounded like he had ascites or some kind of fluid built up in his abdomen. I didn't know at that time that she never called a doctor, charted the new finding, or made any effort whatsoever to further look into things. We stayed with him for a couple hours and left around 8pm to get some rest. He was now so overwhelmingly exhausted that he couldn't wake up or coherently communicate anything to anyone. He woke up in the middle of the night and began violently vomiting blood everywhere! The next day...NOT UNTIL NOON WHEN I GOT THERE AGAIN, did anyone bother to insert a NG tube, call a GI specialist, or do much intervention at all to stop or investigate the cause of this bleeding. We are now at over 48hrs since being admitted to the ER before anyone managed to find out, intervene, and help what I had told these so-called "medical professionals" multiple times....THAT HE WAS ON A NEW BLOOD THINNER AND THEY NEEDED TO CHECK HIM FOR SIDE EFFECTS. NO ONE DID A DAMN THING!!! Now, his mental state is so far degraded that we're not sure if he's even able to come back home again. This could have all been avoided and could have been stopped much, much sooner than it did. My Dad was bleeding internally for days, and no one did anything to stop it or run the appropriate tests to find out what was wrong with him. This hospital and every staff member that had a part in his care, neglected my Dad, left him like trash to rot in his own excrement because he has dementia and was a problem patient. They simply sedated him and walked away. Not even the nurses on the third floor made the correct judgment calls or interventions to help him. I am contacting an attorney as soon as my Dad is discharged. Lord knows how much time was ripped away from the very fragile time we had left with him in the first place. This was gross neglect and malpractice at its absolute finest. I am angry, I am disgusted, and I want justice for my Dad. This hospital is a horrible example of what medicine should be today. Shame on you Kaweah Delta!!
