Medical Malpractice, PIS - Contacted & Waiting

The other day I contacted a Medical Malpractice Firm concerning "Elder Abuse w/ Mom in the Nursing Home" but I began with my story - wondering why a Medical Malpractice hadn't been brought on Hep C ... explaining PIS etc.

This guy was pretty interested and promised that he would get back to me if he learned anything on why a class action had not already been filed.

I will let ya all know anything I find out if there is a case for us PISsers or if they know why a case will not go forward.

p.s. anyone who knew the case with my mothers abuse guaranteed me I had a case but it seems these scummy lawyers basically want a video of the nursing home nurses beating mom with a bat, her falling out of bed from the beating. The nurses leaving mom on the floor over night and mom going into hypothermia (along with multiple broken bones, etc). Then I would have a rock solid case. A nurse leaving mom unclothed in the middle of the room for 6 hours freezing & in hypothermia with the nursing home Admin and her doctor saying what the nurse did was neglect. Firing the nurse. Having this all on tape with permission... is not enough for a case. The nurse was just a bad nurse! according to these crazy, but caring, lawyers!!! RIP Mom!

After learning this about how the nursing homes control the law and can get away with murder I won't be going into one no matter what. I have plans made with a friend that we will help each other when our quality of life gets so miserable...

I'm so sorry to hear about your mum Frank,there have been many cases of elderly abuse in care homes in this country too-it's just awful.Many people here now use secret cameras to ensure their loved ones are being cared for properly.
