Then again, over 100,000 people each year are killed by medical malpractice in hospitals. My parents would have been killed in the hospital if I hadn't been with them 24/7 while they were there. So much incompetence in the medical field. There are good doctors and nurses but they seem to be few and far between especially following the required jabs.

There's a reason the first thing you do when you go to see the doctor or go to hospital is to fill out insurance paperwork.

It’s truly gotten horrible! Just had my sister here for a month after a very difficult surgery that only 2 docs in the country do. We never left her alone in the hospital AND when she left I was at her side day and night. The first week was incredibly difficult with NO HELP after multiple calls to the doc/hospital. It ended up with us needing to go to the emergency room for an overnight stay. That was a horrible week/day but thank God we went, so much information and help. Just insane that’s what it came to. She’s now home and on the other side of recovery. Honestly I’ve gotten more calls/care for my dog after procedures. Our medical industry is HORRIBLE! What happens to those who have no advocate?! Talk about a service desperately needed!

I found with both of my parents that you never leave someone alone in the hospital. My dad was almost given the wrong blood in the hospital. My mom (then 90) had an internal bleeding and given none of her BP or diabetes meds )or even examined) for 3 days. When they finally decided on the colonoscopy the ER had ordered, I couldn’t get fresh bed pads or cleanup for her after the horrible prep meds. In a top private hospital I was having to clean up the floor! I felt like we were in a third world country.

Robin - yes. Never leave anyone in a hospital without an advocate present at all times. A sad state of affairs.
