Today's " #wtf is wrong with #HealthCare in the #USA nowadays" story...
My uncle's doctors determined early in his current hospital stay that he needs PT rehab upon discharge to regain leg strength.
He has been in the hospital for >3 weeks.
He's not allowed to leave his bed because there isn't enough staff to ensure he doesn't fall and hurt himself.
At no point has any member of his care team thought to put him in for hospital PT.
So his leg muscles have been atrophying for three weeks.
