My mom died when she was 100. The morning of her death, 9/22, she was talking - alert and…read moreoriented, it was charted. My mom's daughter-in-law was with her. They were just chatting. My mom had a pain score of 3/10, according to the medical record. Instead of giving her Tylenol for her arthritis pain, she was given Dilaudid 2 mg and Ativan 0.5 mg at 938 AM. At 10:30 AM it was charted she was sleeping but easily arousable. At 11:30 when I was present, she was unresponsive to any stimuli. Her 92 year old brother and sister-in-law from Duluth came to visit about 4:30. She never awaken and died that evening at 11:25 PM. There is a Black Box Warning against giving these two drug categories together. They can cause respiratory depression, coma and death. This occurred at Methodist Medical Center, Des Moines. These people we trusted to protect her, gave her drugs that most probably killed her. I said to my mom "see you in the morning" when I left the night before. I failed to anticipate the danger my mom was in from her caregivers. My mom had her daughter, (me - an RN) and her daughter-in-law, visiting much of the time. Still, she died from an error. Someone had to prescribe it - a physician, NP or PA. Someone had to fill it - a pharmacist, and someone had to decide that a 100 year old with wacky liver function tests that had a pain score of only 3, needed Dilaudid and Ativan. Twice I have contacted the hospital. I didn't hear anything after the first complaint. After the second complaint, two nurses called on two different days. I have received no contact information, no follow-up, no apology, no explanation. There is an Iowa law called the Candor Law. The hospital and the Iowa Clinic could invoke this. But they haven't. My mom was pretty special to everyone who knew her. She lived independently, she did her own cooking and chores, she and I went out for lunch 2-3 times/week. She was engaged with the world. She did not deserve this. I was with her while she was dying. She was choking on her secretions. I don't know why these drugs were ordered; I don't know why they were given. Whatever reason, she was alert and oriented at 938 AM and unresponsive 2 hours later and dead that evening.

I know this is a job or career for them but for their patients, it is their life. And it means the world that they treat it as such. It is encouraging that there are human beings in this world that understand their job is to work with people during one of the most trying times and have complete compassion and understanding for that. Dr. Jawa and his staff are no exception. When appropriate he would talk to her person to person, not always just doctor to patient. We really appreciated that. Her diagnose and treatments brought my mom (and myself) in contact with many different doctors and healthcare professionals. We always felt heard and found that so many of them would take ample amount of time to answer any questions. I know some days were extremely tough for my mom but I personally witnessed true professionalism with a perfect amount of humanization. In addition, medically I feel like they have taken great care of my mom and her cancer is now gone! We can't thank John Stoddard enough.
