I know somewhere there is a chart that says what the life of a seventy six year woman is worth. The lawyers and court system, have a chart for everything. I can tell you one thing, to all of her great grandchildren, grandchildren and children, Mom was priceless. She was the one we all called for advice. She truly lived her life for everyone else. The family basically fell apart after losing Mom.
To the staff at Hendersonville Health and Rehab, Mom was just another old lady that didn't make it. They are used to losing patients, and to them life, and death goes on. By the time my sister left the hospital to pick up Mom's stuff, the staff at Hendersonville Health and Rehab, already had it packed and the bed was made. I am pretty sure that by that afternoon, somebody else's mother was in that bed.
Mom's roommate at the time asked my sister' how's your Mom? Hard to believe that she was in the same room as all the nurses, paramedics and CNA's. According to the report from the NCDHHS investigation, there were at least three nurses and CNA's. According to the EMS report, there were three paramedics. That's a lot of people to have in a room barely big enough for two twin beds and two chairs. All that commotion in that small room, and the roommate doesn't understand what happened.
From the records at Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation, Mom was in room 102A. She was actually in room 101A. Maybe the CNA from the other hallway took Mom to room 102A. Maybe none of this actually took place in her own bed. Tammy Mace RN, the nurse on duty, had never seen mom. According to staff statements, the CNA that helped Mom to the Bathroom was from another hallway. Did anyone actually know what was happening to who? Believe me, if you read the records, anything was possible.
Someone at Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation, knows what really happened to my Mother. I wonder if they feel any guilt for withholding the truth. From stories I've been told it happens quite often. People get dropped by the nurses, who are forced to move patients, without any help. There are people who fall, and some are given the wrong medication They die, and Dr. Russell has his pen in hand, ready to sign the death certificate. He will most likely say that the cause of death was "failure to thrive". Lots of Dr. Russell's patients fail to thrive. I have copies of at least fifty death certificates signed by Dr. Russell, and the majority of them list failure to thrive, advanced dementia, as the cause of death.
I wonder how many patients a doctor can effectively treat in one day, 20,30,100. Dr. Russell, is the medical director at The Laurels of Hendersonville, and the doctor of record at all the other nursing homes in Henderson County. I bet he has more patients than any doctor in Henderson County. I would guess that he would not recognize most of his "patients" and most of them have never even seen him.
