My mother fractured her skull on Jan7,08 and was in the hospital for over 2 months. She was unconscious most of that time and during got a blood infection from her pickline as well as from nurses not always using gloves. Also she still has a large bed sore on her bottom that was almost to the bone and is not healing well. I had to write a letter to the CEO of the hospital just to get the nurses to pay more attention to her. She was rarely turned and even sat in her own bowel movement for hours at a time when she was semiconscious, and had feces in her bed sore at times. She also was positive for MRSA in her lungs after getting a breathing tube. Has anyone else dealt with a situation like this and sought legal action? Is it worth it to talk to a lawyer?
