83 yr old mother. She just had neck surgery and is not able to move her righrt side or head at all. The nurse at 2 in the morning without fully waking my mother or sitting her up, threw 5 pills into her mouth and some water causing her to aspirate water and some of the pills into her lungs. She in now being treated for pneumonia and having liquid from her lungs suctioned out (by sticking a tube threw her nose into her lungs) every few hours. She was depressed enough about not being able to move but now she is even afraid to swallow.
Oh yeah, this is the american health care system that the right wing keeps saying is so great.
