Some lawyers will initiate disciplinary proceedings in the hope that some disciplinary action will be taken and that they can use that to bolster their civil case. It's rare but it happens.

As I stated before, they are stating only thing the nurse in question did, was care for the patient with no issues, an aide went to bathe patient on a day that nurse wasn’t there and aide dropped patient and nurse came to access him, called in to office and explained what she saw and told family patient needed to go to hospital. Family refused hospital so nurse called doctor and he prescribed pain medication. Patient died later and nurse gets lawsuit papers years later stating involvement in suit because company is being sued because of the fall caused by the aide. Nurse only involvement was care before the fall and accessing patient.

Family refused aid?
No, the son of the patient refused to allow his father to be admitted to the hospital. The aide wasn’t supervised or needing to be supervised. She was there to give the patient a bath and then the nurse was called to come and check on patient and access what had happened. The nurse called the doctor and the ambulance was called but when they got there the son didn’t want to have patient admitted. Nurse was told by doctor what to do. The nurse was at another patients house when incident occurred. Was not supposed to be there with aide.

What you posted above does not match your OP post of this:
quote:
Not involved in incident
She didn’t drop the patient, but she certainly came and “accessed him” before making a recommendation. That’s “care” no matter how you slice it.
The attorney is probably going to try to prove that she knew, or should have known, that the extent of the injury was severe enough to potentially cause death. They can also argue that she didn’t adequately explain the dangers when the ER visit was declined.
She should probably get an attorney of her own. The corporate attorney is only there to protect the corporation.

That’s what I think as well. Get an attorney. Told the son that he was concussed and had broken bones. Son told her that he couldn’t stay with the father. She explained that hospice was not going to continue while in hospital but would resume when he got out but didn’t want to take him.
