health i don’t have time to write the experiences I personally observed and it would take hours to type them! one example, my mother was in a major hospital in nyc, one of the ones being raved about higher up. She was in the respiratory icu which should have nurses who are familiar with vents. The INCOMPETENT nurse accidentaly disconnected oxygen supply from the vent. When I pointed out the loose tube he looked around to see where it could possibly be coming from, he did not know what it was so he said it’s probably nothing. Shock of shocks, my mothers sat rates started dropping, i called the nurse in who could find no problem. They called the respiratory therapist who wanted to know who disconnected the oxygen. btw, the nurse is a regular on that unit, not a covering nurse. this was just one mistake in months of daily mistakes that ended up (al pi derech hateva) killing my mother. My mother ended up in the specialty unit in Kimbal Hospital under Dr. Lebovits, no one should ever need them but that is the most amazing place!!! i wish i could turn back time and have my mother have gone there first!!! I know it is not basherte but I think if she had gone there first she would have come home from the hospital. The medical care and the nursing care cannot be beat. btw, my mother went into the hospital originally for a short procedure and was supposed to go home. She was in the respiratory icu because of major mistakes made in the sicu. the mistakes in the sicu were so glaring but they would not let us speak to the drs and my mother was kept sedated. We were finally able to get another dr to take over the case and as soon as that dr saw what was going on she pulled rank and had my mother transfered to a different icu where the care was much better, but so much damage had already been done!
