BOULDER, CO., April 15, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A nursing assistant who went to authorities after a nursing home patient died a suspicious death has been fired. Karmon Babcock, said she was terminated from Terrace Heights Care Center after she reported that a patient was left to choke on her own vomit and that paperwork was later destroyed.
The patient, Barbara Busch Endres, 67, had requested she receive CPR in case of an emergency. She died March 9 and her death certificate indicated she died of cardiac arrest. However, a state health department investigation found Endres was not properly resuscitated after she became ill and that two nurses were aware some of her medical records had been thrown away, according to the local paper The Daily Camera. The two nurses in question were also fired.
Advocates for the disabled are concerned that the fact that Endres was disabled may have led to her receiving inadequate treatment.
