Answer 1

Since it happened down south this is where I get a little crazy. It's one thing to be laid back and slow when it comes to doing the things that you need to do but this is ridiculous. I would be furious. I would be taking steps to make sure that this does not happen to another patient ever at this facility. Some people would be fired. It is unacceptable.  

Answer 2

I don't think i'd better say, only that what i would do would probably land me in an awful lot of trouble.

Answer 3

I would own a hospital building and the medical unemployment line would get a lot bigger.

Answer 4

Even if this man was a complete stranger, I would be screaming for these works to help this poor fellow....Everyone involved, including top management,  should be fired and charged with a crime!!  This happens all too often and it's just plain wrong....

Answer 5

The story is a little confusing. First it says the man died while sitting 22 hours in a chair, then it says he was discovered dead in a hospital bed, then it goes back to the chair story.

Anyway those staff that were on the clock should be fired and investigated .

If the man were my family member I would have been there with him, no way would I not keep tabs on a mentally ill family member and then act like I was not somehow partially responsible for the outcome.

Answer 6

Destroy probably.

Answer 7

I would definately sue the hospital, or at least the doctors and/or nurses that were supposed to be in charge of him at the time. And I would make sure they never forgot that fatal mistake.

Answer 8

Sue the hospital like it had before. Make sure that the doctors would lose their medical licenses.
