Do you know who your doctor is ??

Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation, SanStone Health and Rehabilitation, Dr. Larry Joe Russell, Jennifer Thomas, Susan Habel RN, Tammy Mace RN, Lara Mooney LPN, "Cookie" Maude Romeo, Mike Deloach, Christopher Sprenger, Gail Maloney RN and NCDHHS.
November 2011, was a month of learning for me. As my suspicions grew, I tried to gather as much information as I could. The first place I went was to the Henderson County EMS. They were more than happy to provide me with the call sheet from the morning Mom died. The times on the EMS report did not match the times I was given by Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation. The report shows that cpr was preformed for fifty minutes, with never any heartbeat. There is a copy of the ekg and it is a flat line from start to finish. I did some research, and after six minutes without a heartbeat or breath, a person is dead. The nurses own report says that Mom was unresponsive for ten to fifteen minutes before cpr.
I walked from the ems building to Pardee hospital. I went into the emergency room and ended up in the family room with the head er nurse on duty that day. She tried to explain the death certificate to me. She said that since Dr. Russell was supposedly Moms doctor at Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation , he signed the death certificate. It still didn't make sense that the doctor in the er that morning, Dr. Boleman, pronounced her but didn't sign the certificate. The records I had been able to obtain at this point, made a reference that DR. Russell was to discuss it with Dr. Harrellson. Ok, now you have three doctors involved, and to my knowledge, none of them had seen Mom except DR. Boleman. And that was that morning in the er. What was going on?
The next thing was to figure out who all these doctors were, and how they were involved. First Dr. Boleman is a member of Hendersonville emergency physicians. They are the er doctor group at Pardee. Then Dr. Harrellson, who was he, and why would Dr. Russell discuss the cause of death with him. Well,  Dr. Harrellson turned out to be a she, Dr. Anna Q. Harrellson . Just so happens that she was a member of DR. Russell's practice. DR. Russell's practice is WNC Family Medical Center at 510 Balsam Rd. in Hendersonville. Dr Russell was supposed to be Mom's doctor. There is no indication that he ever even saw her.
I would have to wait till mid December to get the medical records. That's when things really started looking bad. More to come.
