Legal Question in Elder Law in Georgia

V.A. hospital malpractice

my grandmother has been fighting for my grandfathers life for the past 10 years. It seems like every time we turn around the doctors are doing unspealable things to him. Most recently they told my grand mother that he could not have any pain medication b/c it could put him in a coma... 2months later a doctor gave hom pain med that put him in a coma sending him to a nursing home that did not feed him nor did they give him the corret medication. They also let him fall out of the bed and no one found him for an hour. He was so weak and skinny when my grandmother found him he was about dead. She took pictures of him ande they told her that she could not do that. His bed sores were so bad he could not walk. He was not ion this condition apon the arrival of the nursing home. This is just one of many stories that my grandmother has had to deal with. He may die at any time.. we need some representaion...Vetrens should not be treated like this... They should take clintons office fund and put it into paying real docters to help these elderly people who gave their life for our freedom.

Re: V.A. hospital malpractice

If you will contact me at 888-717-7575 I will assist you in getting this problem taken care of. 42 CFR section 483.10 provides your mom the right to visit 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No regulation says she can't take pictures.

Call me immediately if I can be of help.
