They dismissed her back to nursing home. SHe is a REnal dyalisis patient and has a bad heart. Nurse did not report to doctor and he did not check to see if she was alright. Nursing home found that her ankle swollen twice its size and sent her to another hospital where they discovered fracture. She laid in floor and was asking for help and a visitor discovered her. Now she is in a cast and cannot get up out of her bed.

Re: Hospital

I'm sorry to hear about your mother's accident. Believe it or not, this kind of accident is actually quite common.
