St Vincent's St Clair: "On January 14 after an illness at St Vincent my sister went home to only be brought back the next day. We couldn't see her or stay with her and at 11pm we got a call her heart had stopped. We hurried to hospital only to be told she had passed away. As we precede to go see her for the last time I found her laying on her back head to the side No pillow and blood out her mouth and under her on sheet.I am aware that they probably worked on her but couldn't a nurse prepare her for the family? A nurse was sitting at station didn't say one word to us!! She was doing nothing but she couldn't have cleaned her up some? That is still in my mind. I am changing my insurance so I never have to go to St Vincent again. I am on Viva but I'm changing soon. Her husband has not said anything he loves St Vincent but we sisters were appalled. I will not be there again. " - Sandra
