[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 214565, member: 1697"] it skunks, but, yeah, sounds about how the nurseing homes and rehab facilities I worked in worked, too. And yes, if patient does not do rehab PT etc, yup, ins will often not pay, and will send patient home. It is possible the nurses DO have a call out to the doctor, some docs skunk at getting around to their nurseing home/rehab facility patients. Most nuseing staff persons CAN tell if lungs are filling with fluid by listening with their stethoscope, tho. and quite possibly the nmurses ARE keeping an eye on this. Janet WAS quite seriously ill, and the prognosis I am sure is very guarded. And truthfully, it is far better for her lungs for her to be UP and active rather than laying still, atelectasis pneumonia (sp) can be a very serious problem related to inactivity. [/QUOTE]
