If
I
could
just
rate
the
nurses
I
would
and
I
would
rate
the
nurses
on
the
third
floor
who
assisted
me
with
five
stars,
but
I
have
to
look
at
the
big
picture.
It
is
scary
the
lack
of
information
the
doctors
are
allowed
to
provide
and
still
maintain
employment.
The
lack
of
accountability
and
responsibility.
To
have
to
beg
for
information.
To
lack
the
honesty
to
tell
a
person
that
they
are
in
the
process
of
dying.
Instead,
the
patient
and
his
wife
of
almost
53
years
were
led
to
believe
that
there
would
be
hope.
This
hope
wasn't
gained
with
any
information
provided,
but
the
lack
of
information
and
honesty.
Not
giving
the
family
the
proper
information
to
state
if
comfort
care
is
the
best
course
of
action,
to
not
have
any
hospice
assistance
during
the
weekends.
To
have
the
oncologist
contact
you
about
your
father
after
he
has
passed
away
when
results
came
back
one
week
prior.
It
is
evident
that
the
oncologist
might
not
have
taken
the
time
to
really
look
at
any
initial
tests.
My
father's
oncology
appointment
was
moved
from
a
Monday
to
Wednesday
and
I
had
to
call
and
beg
to
please
move
his
appointment
back
to
Monday.
Unfortunately,
he
didn't
survive
to
make
his
first
appointment.
During
an
earlier
hospital
stay...
Not
being
able
to
keep
a
set
discharge
date
so
that
the
family
could
be
prepared
to
handle
the
care
of
a
patient
coming
home.
The
lack
of
assistance
from
the
social
workers
to
communicate
a
care
plan
and
discharge
plan
with
the
family.
The
inability
to
keep
a
set
discharge
date
and
having
to
rush
to
find
appropriate
accommodations.
Not
taking
a
families
request
to
please
look
at
a
wound
seriously.
To
be
nonchalant
about
a
concern
when
from
one
day
to
the
next
an
incision
went
from
normal
color
to
fire
engine
red.
I
haven't
been
a
health
care
provider
for
years,
but
it
was
obviously
infected.
I
stated
to
two
health
care
providers
that
it
didn't
matter
what
antibiotic
you
have
him
on,
if
you
don't
test
him
to
see
if
it
was
staph
you
don't
know
what
antibiotic
he
would
need.
The
signs
were
there,
the
elevated
heart
rate,
the
inability
to
complete
physical
therapy
(in
the
past
he
has
always
been
released
faster
than
anticipated),
lack
of
appetite
and
let's
not
forget
the
most
obvious
sign,
the
actual
appearance
of
the
wound.
They
sent
him
home
and
three
days
later
he
was
back
in
the
hospital
with
a
black
foot
and
two
days
later
he
lost
his
leg
to
the
knee.
The
initial
operation
didn't
fail,
it
didn't
have
a
change
to
succeed
or
fail,
it
was
the
lack
of
care.
The
best
part
of
this
is
when
I
questioned
one
of
the
doctors
about
why
they
wouldn't
test
when
it
was
evident
his
response
"we
can
always
Monday
morning
quarterback,
your
dad
almost
died,
you
are
lucky
his
is
alive".
It
took
five
months
for
the
wound
to
heal,
he
worked
so
hard
to
have
it
heal
so
he
could
be
fitted
for
a
prosthesis
and
have
more
mobility
and
freedom
back
in
his
life.
He
was
released
from
wound
care
and
less
than
30
days
later
he
passed
due
to
cancer.
He
didn't
have
to
lose
the
foot
had
he
had
proper
care,
he
could
of
had
his
life
for
those
five
months
if
one
person
would
have
just
taken
the
time
to
run
one
simple
test.
Again,
I
want
to
thank
the
nurses
who
assisted
me
with
the
care
of
my
father
and
my
well
being.
I
hope
that
this
review
will
be
noted
by
the
President
of
Mercy
Medical
Center
so
he
can
assure
that
these
situations
do
not
happen
to
any
other
family.
I
am
looking
at
the
sympathy
card
thinking,
well,
he
got
this
part
right.
