She showed up and found him dead. He had heart failure, but was offered a surgery to implant a heart device to help prolong his life. What a gift…more time on this Earth hanging with the kids and grandkids. Another chance at life. She was there to check up on him after his surgery. She walked in and alarms were blaring…and it was too late. He was already gone. 19,000+ other people had the faulty device (known as HVAD) implanted PRIOR to the FDA recalling it. The surgery to remove it is so risky both Medtronic and the FDA advise against it. So it’s just left in place for 19,000+ people…all left wondering…will it stop working on me? Can you even imagine the amount of fear they face daily wondering this? Many patients have already died. And many patients have sued Medtronic, the creator of the faulty device and a company worth 107 billion. The home health nurse in this story that showed up to find her patient already gone happens to be one of our law nurses. And now years after her home health days are long behind her she’s running our latest project, HVAD. Our law nurses are reviewing tons of these cases, each one sadder than the previous. I want to live in a world where human lives are more important than a company’s profits; a world where patients, doctors, and nurses don’t have to question the safety of a device made specifically to prolong someone’s life. But until that world is created, myself and all my fellow law nurses will continue standing up to help those harmed. When the world has stopped caring, NURSES STILL CARE.
