Reasonable doubt ???

Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation, SanStone Health and Rehabilitation, Dr. Larry Joe Russell, Mike Deloach, Christopher Sprenger, and NCDHHS.
The other day , I had to go in to Memorial  Mission Hospital for medical test's . It was the first time I had been there in two years. Walking in that waiting room brought back memories of sitting there two years ago.
The last two years have been a rollercoaster. My brother and I have been reviewing the medical records from Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation. It is now apparent that things were not quite as they appeared.
The records show things that were not obvious at the time. As I said before, we found problems with Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation, but they seemed minor at the time. And Mom was coming home in just four more days. If we had seen these records then, one of us would have been spending the night those last four days.
On the evening of the 29th of October, Mom became upset, due to a disagreement about where she was going to be staying when she got released. That night, she asked for some thing to calm her down. She was prescribed Ativan to help her relax, so she could sleep. Early in the morning of the 30th, she experienced her first fall. That morning when I visited, she had a band aid on her arm. When I asked what happened she told me she had fallen, and scraped her arm. The nurse on duty that morning, confirmed the fall . It was not represented as a serious fall. Mom of course made a joke about it, she said it felt like somebody filled her shoes with shit and slid her across the room.  
Lara Mooney LPN, was the nurse on duty that night. The nurses note concerning the fall was dated December 1st, one month after Moms death. The "late entry" says that nurse Mooney was standing in the doorway, watched Mom remove her alarm, and slide to the floor.
The distance from the doorway to the side of the bed was maybe 15 steps at most. I find it hard to believe that Mom was able to remove her alarm and reposition herself to slide out of bed, before nurse Mooney could walk 15 steps . The other problem  I have is why would she attempt to get out of bed without help from nurse Mooney. Did the nurse not ask her to wait till she got around the bed to help.
The roommates account is quite different from nurse Mooney's . The roommate said she was awakened to hear Mom calling for help from the floor. She said her pants were around her ankles, and that she was face down in the floor. When she realized what happened, she pulled the call light and waited. Then she says she saw two cna's walking by the room, and called out to them to help. They entered the room, and called nurse Mooney. When nurse Mooney arrived she told them to take her vitals and get her back in bed. Mom's records reflect that her vitals were taken around 3:oo am. That's the only time they ever took her vitals at that time of the morning.
 My wife was in the room, when nurse Mooney brought her the medication and saw Mom take the pill.  That was between three and four in the afternoon. There is no record of her ever receiving the Ativan . Although my wife witnessed her being given what was supposed to be Ativan .
Now twelve hours later, she witnesses the fall, and cant stop her? It is amazing that a month after the fall she still remembers exactly what happened, after working at least twelve hours.
Is that enough reason to cause reasonable doubt about Lara Mooney's story. I sure think so. Nurse Mooney is now at Fleishers Fairview Health Care. If you have someone in there beware, especially if Lara Mooney is working night shift!
