My mom was sent to the ER there from the a local skilled nursing home and they missed up everything that they could. Lets start with losing all of the records that where sent in with her. Next it took 5 hours to get her a bed after they said that she needed admitting. Sense they had none of the records that where sent over I spent a hour going over her last 2.5 months. This included 2 major points. Number one she has PTSD from being abused by my dad followed by a man trying to pry open her balcony sliding glass door to attack her and than 7 years latter a man Grabbing her, shooting her in the back and throwing her to the ground. Because of this she has panic attacks when a strange man wakes her. I explained all of this and requested that only male nurses be assigned to her. I repeated this Tues. and Wed night to come in on Thurs. Night and find the only male nurse on the floor assigned to her. Next during the 2nd time (this was the third time) of C-DIF she developed an arterial bleeder in her lower intestines that took 3 claps to stop and almost caused them to have to take her to the O.R. and cut her open so she was not to have a recital tube for 8 weeks unless it was an medical necessity and I was to be called before one was put in. I walk in Wed. and guess what is in her. I pitch a fit and make both Doctors call me and they both say that they did not know this if they had they never would have used it. So where is the break down I tell the nurse and the doctors and the nurse that installed it for that matter have not read her charts. Next on Thursday I see that she cannot swallow and ask the nurse and request speech therapy and show them why. Come in Friday night and nope not down. Show them why and come in Monday night and not only has it not been done but SHE woke up and could not move her legs and buzzed the nurse. When they came in she told them her blood surger was low. Yep 34 so they try and give her a couple of apple juices and then over 30 minutes latter give her the shot of D50 which should have been the first step. She was not set to have her blood sugar checked and if she had not waked she for sure would have gone into insulin shock that could had caused her death. Again Sunday night I had showed the nurse that she had not eaten her dinner but she was still given a full dose of long acting insulin. Finally they had the speech therapist see her on Tues. He changed her seating position was changed and the type of food was changed so that she could eat. By now I am just trying to get her out of there and back to the skilled nursing center. I was told by the doctor on Wed. that she would be sent back on Friday and asked that it be in the morning so that all of there rehab staff could see her. On Thurs. I saw the case manager and asked again. On Friday they did everything that they could to drag it out and did not release her till 4 PM. This included the nurse leaving her in middle of checking her out and making her and the ambulance team wait while she did the person the in room start to finish and than disappeared into another room for 15 minutes. In short there is no coordination of care. The right hand does not talk to the left and this lead to life threatening conditions in her care.
UM of Mansfield stop putting meaning emails addresses in the responses here and see that something it really wrong and that if not fixed one of these days it is going to kill someone before it does. I have left instructions that she is to be sent to Baylor all Saints and not here unless time is too important
Your posting here supports my point. To truly fix ans show that you mean to create change one must be PROACTIVE. My real name is in the post. I sited real dangers in my post. IF.... you where truly worried you could look up my last name and find my moms records and my phone number and reach out to and call me. Instead you just post a phone number and email a Truly proactive response. With what I have posted you should be truly scared, Review the record and an Director or VP should be reaching to me
