4 surgeries for my partner, with me the sole caregiver.
4 surgeries, whose recovery was unprofessionally, and with malic,e mishandled by the nursing staff on the 5th floor.
I, as sole caregiver, despite the repeated and loud requests of my partner, am FORCEFULLY EXCLUDED from the recovery steps MANDATORY BY THE CAREGIVER, and my presence being the ONLY REASON for discharge. THE NURSING STAFF REFUSES TO INCLUDE ME.
For the most recent shoulder replacement, the surgeon place a PICO bandage and gave STRICT INSTRUCTIONS IT NOT BE REMOVED FOR 7 DAYS. I did not receive these instructions until 3 days after surgery, via mail with bandages and collagen supply.
It ends up, that the nursing staff was displeased, heavily, letting me know with there words and stares, with my partner and I agreeing with a commentator on CNN in her private hospital room.
It further ends up the the NURSES RIPPED OFF THE BANDAGE, as my partner recalls being woken from her sleep. The NURSES gave her care instructions EXCLUDING ME HER SOLE CAREGIVER, while she was STILL UNDER HEAVY SEDATION due to what the surgeon said was ~"the maximum legally allowable amount of pain medicine distributed throughout the depth of the incision while proceeding inward to the shoulder bones, layer by layer". he told me that prior to the surgery.
The instructions by mail stated : ~"any compromise of the seal or malfunction of the pump MUST BE IMMEDIATELY REPORTED TO THE SURGEON AS AN EMERGENT MATTER"
Well, the on-call Office Staff DID NOT LIKE THAT, AND THREATENED PHYSICAL VIOLENCE....a matter already reported to the GPOA board, and pending reporting (awaiting a change of mind on their part, resulting in unlikely efforts to address this issue that they so far ignored with disdain, disparagement, and threats) to the State of Pennsylvania, as REMOVING A PICO BANDAGE WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION OF THE SURGEON WHO PLACED IT IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE, in most 1st world countries, and most/all US states.

The picture below is the alleged PICO bandage for which we received the VERY SERIOUS instructions stated above. Heritage Valley Sewickly nurse illegally removed it against Surgeon's (Dr. Kubik) orders. The Surgeon's colleague (Dr. Thomas) was chewed me out for bothering him on a Saturday late morning. He was disparaging, he was denegrating, and he physically threatened me with his PA named Mark, should I pursue this matter any further.
I began truly pursuing this matter at that very moment.
