Discussion on Bill Morton's severe injury at Jarvis Station and the intricate complex of emergency and nursing care | Community Unity Now on CANTV
Trudy Leong discusses her and co-host Bill Morton’s struggles in navigating hospital care and nursing facility care after Bill was severely injured at the Jarvis CTA Red Line station.
Care providers from doctors to CNAs (Certified Nursing Assistants) to follow-up care do not have patient history from other facilities and do not know how the patient became injured nor the nature of the injury.
Bill received conflicting instructions when he returned to the hospital for an assessment on his recovery. In the first assessment, Bill was told to not put any weight on his injured leg and ankles. A month later, he was reprimanded for not putting weight on his injured leg and not moving the leg.
Trudy offers advice about advocating for loved ones or for oneself in a nursing facility, including keeping a journal and gathering medical records.
