@twin52 yes, the orthopedic surgeon was informed! The physician at Rehab received written instructions on what was required and he chose to ignore them, wrote his own orders for his staff omitted her need to have a stabilizing unit on her left leg at all times! The nurse was not aware of this because it was not in the order, removed the mobilizer, had my wife stand and that is when she went down. The orthopedic surgeon then moved to a different hospital location. Due to ethics the nurse was not allowed to consult with us!
