Saturday night my wife had a heart attack. Man that was scary even worse than when we found out she had breast cancer.
They put in a Stent and did a angeloplasty. So hopefully everything will be OK if we follow instructions. She finally is going to quit smoking and that will help a great deal.
We really got excellent care while she was in ICU. The nurses and staff were incredible there. Monday she was switched from ICU to another floor. An incident happened there by the nurse in charge of my wife's care.
Now if you know my wife she's like Will Rodgers she's never met a person she didn't like. She loves to talk no matter the situation¹¹¹ to be honest sometimes it can be distracting. About 2 hours before we left the nurse came in to give Lori some medication. When Lori takes pills she puts a little liquid in her mouth then pops the pills. So the nurse gives her the pills in the little white container. Lori takes a sip and pops the pills. She immediately starts choking. I was freaking out my wife recovering from a heart attack and now she is choking badly. The nurse is pounding her on the back Lori sticks her hand down her throat and pulls out a pill still inside the package.
How does something like that happen? I know my wife probably distracted her by talking so much but the nurse should have been able to still do her job. Maybe she was tired because I know they are working long hard hours. Our dilemma is weather we should report it. She got excellent care while there except for that last incident. If she was overworked and tired we don't want to cost her her job, but what if she is incompetent and ends up hurting someone should we report it. We have the pill and the package. Lori dug it out of the garbage. The nurse put it at the bottom of the can. The nurse also kept a very low profile the rest of the time we were there. By the look on her face when that package came out of Lori's mouth the nurse knew she screwed up.
So we really don't want her to lose her job,but should we go ahead and report it?
