My Mom was recently in the hospital again, she was over medicated there and aspirated causing her to be put on a ventilator.
While there she was very agitated one day and indicated to my sister in writing that someone had hurt her but not how. When I went in during the next visiting time Mom also indicated to me that she had been hurt and with head shakes and nods as well as signals let me know someone had hit her.
I went to the patient advocate as soon as they arrived and told them this, I also told them to leave it be until Mom was off the vent and out of ICU so I could actually talk with her, (it is not possible to speak with that tube down your throat.)
because Mom was tied down in there and helpless and I didn’t want anything else happening to her !
Two days after she was off the vent and on a regular floor, one of Mom’s favorite nurses came in and with no prompting or prior discussion with her (I wanted to give her another day or two to recover from that before I talked to her about it.)
Mom herself told the nurse that someone had hit her in ICU.
The next morning I went back to the patient advocate and told them this, now one is calling me trying to say Mom imagined it due to the drugs she was on in ICU. Bull fucking shit !
I was and still am livid, how dare someone do that to her !!! ??? My Mother is dying of cancer, the doctors say with no further infections or pnemunoia we MAY have 3 to 4 months with her. The last fucking thing we want her to have in her life is abuse.
Mom can’t tell us which nurse hit her, this is the only reason you guys haven’t read about me being in jail, no motherfucker is going to hit her and walk away undamaged if I know who they are. I am beyond pissed off and I am sick of people trying to play cover our asses over this. They also tried to tell us she wasn’t over medicated, sorry but I was there, I saw how out of it she was . AND her doctor told us 3 different times times that Mom was over medicated > She had received methadone, morphine, benadryl, saraquil, zanax that night, very close together. (OK I probably spelt most, if not all of them wrong.)
All I want is the name of the person (and I use the word loosely) who hit my Mom, if I find it I promise they will not hit anyone else’s Mother ever again, I am calm enough now not to kill them, but they will be lucky to be able to get a job scrubbing toilets in a hospital if I find out.
The saddest part is this is supposed to be one of the best hospitals around.
It takes a sorry assed lowlife to hit a woman who is on a vent, tied down and dying a little every damn day. I hope no one ever does anything like that to them or their Mom. No one deserves that. Fucker.
