Sounds like death by incompetence. They treat people like animals if family members are not constantly watching.

Agreed!!! Then, when you call them out on their negligence they want to 'catch feelings'! (Rollins signature phrase) This situation has so many red flags that a blind person can see where they tried to cover their tracks. Shame on them! Take em' to the cleaners!!

May D'Andjoua and her family get the justice they rightly deserve so that she can truly rest in peace!

Furthermore, how can you be so detached and laxed when it comes to people's LIVES! If you knew that there is a possibility of something like this happening with a new mother, wouldn't you give her a cautionary speech if she were to encounter any issues to get her a*% back to the hospital asap! This makes a world of difference, because every minute counts!

I'm so fed up and disgusted with PMH.

.....all 'cause Christie and Frank Smith (Chairman of PHA and son-in-law of Frankie Wilson aka Snake) say da moolas for quality medical care gone south and dere ain't nuttin' anyone can do 'bout dat!

PMH has many good doctors, nurses and staff but it does have a problem. I was told once that many of the elderly who die go unnoticed simply because they are "old" and it must have been "their time", if those were babies dying, people would be up in arms. And they're not dying for lack of health coverage, more like improper diagnoses and incorrect treatments.

I agree. My grandmother was hospitalized there several years ago as she was experiencing confusion. After a few days, doctor said "you know, she's old (she was 82 at the time), she has lived a good life", and I asked him to clarify exactly what he was trying to say. She had all her faculties about her up until a few days before hospitalization. They had ruled out major things like a stroke or heart attack. So, just because she was elderly she wasn't worth time and attention? Just let her go? It was sad how they just wanted to write her off because of age. Turned out she had a simple infection which after it was treated resulted in her springing right back to her old self. They do have some good staff but there are many of them who have to do much much better. I would also say that the young doctors should be told that just because they have a fresh new degree, and the ones who have been there a few years as well, that they are not superior to anyone else. People are people and this group in particular need to learn how to speak to people and how to treat them. Your degree doesn't mean you have arrived. Your work, healing the sick, has only just begun. Don't let the title get to your head. Too many do.

Sadly healthcare here is still lacking. too many examples

This picture should be a haunting reminder to all in charge of the consequence of their actions.

The take home message is this. If you are feeling ill and you wait until you're passing out sick, you may have benefited from seeking help sooner. Bless her soul but too many people take their symptoms lightly. Often these stories are those when patients present late and there is nothing else that could be done. So to everyone out there. If you are sick, it is better to spend the time to call or see a doctor than to end up at the end of your rope. And for God's sake stop blaming PMH doctors and nurses who work 80+ hours a week on a salary less than a garbage man's at an institution nobody pays to use but always complains about when they don't get their way.
