Has anyone else heard of this happening in a nursing home?

Asked by Aster (20023points) December 28th, 2015

My sweet, fabulous ex MIL finally had to go to a nursing home. She was 95 or so at the time. A nurse’s aide attempted to turn her over by pulling on her arm, it broke and became infected and killed her. Decades previously, her mother died of the same thing. Nurse’s aide broke her arm and it killed her. These two incidences make me feel that it isn’t that unusual. Have you heard of anyone dying from this?
