Thank you so much for exposing this. The treatment of the elderly in the US is an abomination. It's openly evil.
Hospitals and nurses are now seemingly bound only to rules and regulations. By choice I suspect. "I might get sued, so I have to follow orders." Where have we heard "I was just following orders" before?

A small, but possibly useful hack in the future. I used to work at a local TV station. After my elderly father was left on a gurney in the hallway for over 9 hours, I gently told them that I worked with the station's investigative reporting unit, and that it would look bad for the hospital if their producer started looking into how this highly rated hospital treated elderly patients. My father did get a room, so it was, in the end, effective.
God bless both of you for being proactive and doing what needed to be done.
