My sister visited recently and saw one of the nurses pushing down on my mom's broken shoulder when she clearly has a SLING in place while putting her in her wheelchair. UNACCEPTABLE. I dont care how busy you are, you better be checking a patient's chart and conditions first before transporting them to a wheelchair or their bed. A male nurse also witnessed this event in front of my sister and denied it happened. FIX THIS NOW.
