I was brought to the ER by ambulance on 2/21/2021 am, due to a fall that left me unable to walk. The nurse who was supposed to take care of me was a reincarnation of Nurse Ratchet from the famous movie.

She was never compassionate towards me. I was in excruciating pain in my left hip and leg. I was given X-rays that did not immediately show the break. She started insisting that I get up and walk or I would be sent home. She kept telling me if I didn t do so, Medicare nor my insurance company would not pay. She kept insisting and insisting, until I finally did so and was made take a few steps, all while insisting that I was in excruciating pain, and could not do it. I probably further injured my hip by doing so. Finally I was given a CT or MRI, which showed the bad break.

This nurse was the most horrible and non empathetic person I have ever met in my 82 years on this earth. When I first was put on emergency room bed, I told her that I was urinary incontinent, and needed to urinate badly. She told me each time she left room that she would either get me a bed pan or a depends style brief. She never did either, even though I reminded her over a period of a few hours of this urgency. By the time I was finally admitted, my clothes, sheets and covers were all soaked and I was covered in urine.

I feel that this nurse is a danger to all patients that are in her care, and that she should be discharged and should not be able to work with any patients ever again!!!

My recovery has been very long, and I still cannot walk. I feel that this nurse s actions made my hip much worse, by insisting that I stand and walk with a broken hip!!!
