my heart aches for you. i have the same basic story and it hurts so much.
i know i risk sounding callous but im being 1000% honest...im also FIGHTING. FUCKING. MAD. im NOT an aggressive or angry, person and i hate conflict at this level BUT oddly i think that, right now anyway, those of us who saw it coming; who *called* the medical murders of our friends and family b/c we knew, step by step, how it plays out once someone is admitted to hospital right now & THEN. IT. HAPPENED.
i know this sounds less than comforting BUT PLEASE CONSIDER that this situation REQUIRES US TO GET FIGHTING FUCKING MAD and make sure they are all HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

I am fighting fooking mad. She didn't deserve what they did to her. She never hurt anyone.

I SAW IT FIRST HAND. They said if I didn't put on my finger monitor they would take my pain meds. They were checking me every couple of hours and I had so many tubes and wires that one RN took it off I was so grateful but then Hell bent bitch came to work and told me if I didn't put it back on she would take my pain meds I HAD MY STOMACH AND CHEST CUT WIDE OPEN AND ORGANS CUT OUT I got out of bed and was fighting for my pole with my pain meds The charge nurse and I had fought the night before so while I was screaming for help she just ignored me I was so upset shaking and so very sick, Peeing in a urinal because all the nurses are to busy to take me and forget about them cleaning you up or giving you a comb I'm home now and trying to heal... The hospital sent me papers asking me how I liked my stay REALLY.

The Mercy hospital murdered my brother in law. Mercy would not allow any visitor either. They murdered him for $$$$$ they refuse to release his records.
He left behind three children.

If they refuse the release medical records then sue for them..these people are like gamblers they weigh the odd that good people are too busy to bother..don't let the house win..fight fight fight
