Name of Victim: Arthur Foth

Age: 80 years old

Admitted to hospital: 11/06/2021

Treatment received at hospital: Treated poorly

Experience in hospital:

He was treated horribly. I felt they let him lie there and waited for his condition to worsen, which it did. They even released him to rehab with severe pneumonia.
Once in rehab, his treatment was worse due to low staffing issues. He was found in the floor struggling to breathe. He developed a bed sore that eventually reached the bone and was the size of a grapefruit. He didn’t receive a feeding tube until the middle of December of 2021.
We were constantly told he should have gotten the vaccine. That the entire ICU was full of unvaccinated patients. While he was in the ICU they asked us to figure out “what we wanted to do.” They incessantly asked us to sign a DNR. My dad absolutely did NOT want a DNR. He was full code. I told the doctors to try and help him get better before we discuss letting him die.
He developed several complications in the hospital due to not being turned as often as he should have. He became septic. Developed several different infections.
He fought as long as he could until his battered body couldn’t handle it anymore. He died on February 9, 2021.
