She broke the foot several days ago and was transported to the hospital. They wanted to get her into surgery but delayed because of possible incoming covid cases and sent her home.
Two days later she's been sitting in the same chair at home because she can't walk, and her hygiene is uncared for. An ambulance was called again today but when they arrived the medics told them that the hospital wasn't admitting anything but 'emergency' patients, and apparently a 92 year old woman with a broken foot stewing in her own juice in a living room chair isn't an emergency.
This is a motherfucking crime, and neither the government nor the health care system gives one shit about it. I'm boiling with hatred for every one of these thugs.
Broken bones in elderly patients is a life threatening condition, as they are much more susceptible to infection.
You need to raise fucking hell with hospitals who refuse to treat her.
The heart attack that killed my 70 year old father in 2019 started as a broken foot. He had his first heart attack in recovery from surgery to repair that break, and that left him with 10% cardiac function. He never left the hospital again after that. He had another one 6 months later, and that was that.
