My grandmother was there a long time, suffering of various little things, and sometime cause a bit of a pain-in-the-neck, but hey, its your job.
One day, it was visibly and obvious that her situation is becoming better by the minute, thanks to G-d, and now she was able to get the nurses to answer some questions, while two of her daughters were there and witnessed all...
A nurse comes in and asks the daughters to leave the room, while she needs to give care to patient... 2 minutes later, the nurse rushes out and shouting for help, my grandmother was put back on the respirator.
The story was that the nurse injected her with SOMETHING and my grandmother was put back on the respirator so she shall remain shut down longer, unable to talk. The daughters were horrified!
One day later she died... the respirator was unplugged, by mistake!

My Shver's neighbor, allergict to dairy and nuts products, but by mistake, she ate a food containing nuts. As a result, the reaction was there and the Hatzoloh of course, came on scene and drove her to Miamonidies. On friday.
On Shabbos, her status was becoming more stable, and seemingly closer to get home, while a nurse popped into the patients room and injected her, while the ingredients of the liquids of the injection contained milk like liquid...The women collapsed, her lungs collapsed, required surgery and now on a respirator...Terrible & Heartbreaking with 3 little kinderlach waiting for her to come home and cuddle them arround, Hashem Yerachem, may she heal quickly and live happily ever after!

5 yrs. ago my mother A'H went in for minor surgery and never came home. She was in her 70's and had a good health record except for vascular problems. After surgery no one bothered to inform us how urgent it was for a patient to walk around and when the doctors came around on the third day and realized this they made her walk with them. She fell down, and within the next few hours our nightmare began. It seems a blood clot had formed and traveled perhaps to her lung, I'm not sure, my brother is familiar with the details.The doctors worked on her for a long time and brought her back and she was put into icu where my siblings heard the doctors warn the nurses it was very fragile and a nurse must sit there and watch her vitals verycarefully. At the change of shifts this was not given over and our sibling that was there at the time panicked as he glanced at the blood pressure reading which seemed low to him. He alerted the nurse at the desk and when she finally took him seriously and called emergency it was too late. E-mail me at rivky2008@gmail.com!
