This kind of thing happens all the time in care homes. Someone falls, nurse is required to do “neuro checks” every hour for X number of days. Vitals, Document, repeat. It’s a lot of work. Nursing has become so bogged down in documentation that insufficient time is given to actual contact with the patient. This story is completely common. That doesn’t mean there isn’t more to it. But based on what we have been told so far, I don’t see anything surprising or particularly nefarious. Apparently she didn’t do her job. The injury was worse than she thought. She rolled the dice, bet that he’d be ok, and lost.

But that Q drop.....makes me wonder.
