Last Saturday I went to visit my brother. At breakfast he told me his roommate had died and they had put in a new roommate immediately who only spoke Chinese. I said I was sorry and asked what had his roommate died of, was he in the room when he died, and what did the other patients have to say about it. I couldn't get much information out of him.
When we got back to the nursing home, I noticed that his clothes (I thought) were missing again. Also, they had him in the same green shirt for about 4 or 5 of my visits with him. So I was talking to his CNT, the one we like, and mentioned that it was too bad his roommate died. It runs out he didn't die! The CNT told me "he's in the hospital, just for diarrhea". So I immediately went to where my brother was hanging out, near the nurses station, and told him. He said "oh".
My brother also told me that the cardiologist had seen him on Friday. This must have been a result of my request. Now I need to go follow up and find out the results. Of course, no one is going to call me and let me know.
