My brother was brought to DMC after an industrial accident. Aug 11. While life saving measures were preformed, there were/are situations that occurred and are occurring (he is still pt) that concerns me.
1. The first time they released him from ICU he was found unconscious on a med ward with NO heart beat, ie dead and was brought back with CPR. Released.too early.
Too many screw ups and what I feel are serious mistakes to list. A abdominal drain tube accidently ripped out is just one.
What is really really concerning. When I called and spoke with his nurse tonight and she could not tell me why he is on IV antibiotics.
Told me that nothing was mentioned to her during report. . . the last time I worked in a hospiral, the nurse especially in a ICU unit should know her patient. Everything about that patient. I could go on and on and also be more detailed and articulated.
Know this, I am not a little happy and by reading previous bad reviews, it looks like someone should be reaching out.

I intend to call tomorrow morning and start the ball rolling to get answers and assurances that screw ups in the hospital will not kill my brother due to negligence under their care.
