@heidipie we pursued an attorney and because notes from various facilities were contradicting and lacked information the attorney felt that one doctor was covering for the other doctor. Some of her notes shared knee surgery or shoulder surgery and that she had multiple falls. While in rehab she was dropped in the shower and when I consulted their attorney about the receiving physician orders for his nurses who omitted direct orders from the orthopedic surgeon which lead to her fall. the attorney told me that the attending physician followed all steps and that she had an assisted fall and they called me once they were able to retrieve her from the floor and back into her bed. I told him he could stop his Lying because I was there when she fell and it was me that retrieved her from the floor. They never even offered as much as an apology….because that would be admitting that they messed up! We spoke to a few different attorneys and they all felt the same; the doctors were covering up for one another! My wife’s initial surgery was at Dartmouth Hitchcock in Lebanon New Hampshire; a teaching hospital and rehab was at Fanny Allen in Colchester, Vermont; I provide this information for anyone seeking a hip replacement facility and follow up rehab.
