Man's penis rots off while patient of nursing home by Mar Matthias Darin From the Associated Press: Everett, Washington --- A lawsuit has been filed
against a Washington state nursing home accused of neglecting a
97-year-old man's penile infection.
The lawsuit from the man's son, filed Wednesday in Snohomish County Superior Court, says the father was taken to an emergency room, where doctors discovered his penis had decayed, leaving only a gaping wound. He died 18 days later, in March 2008. Everett Rehabilitation and Care Center administrator Elizabeth Loyet told The Everett Herald she could not discuss the allegations because of federal privacy laws. The lawsuit cites an investigation by the state Department of Social and Health Services, which shows the nurse told a manager in November 2007 that the man had a wound on his penis. The records say the manager forgot about the report. How in the hell can the manager forget about the patient needing medical services? Perhaps a better question would be, how many times a year did the nurses check on the patients? I'd say Loyet has a lot of questions to answer an I think every single patient should have a full medical evaluation at her expense. I'm no doctor, but I know how long it takes flesh to rot from lack of proper medical care. Perhaps Loyet should change her title from administrator to grave digger... Is this the future of our medical system?
