32 | Medical records documented that “the necrotic ulcer is foul-smelling and much older than 24 hours.” R1 did not respond to treatment at the hospital. The emergency department physician was interviewed and stated, due to the necrotic nature of R1 ulcer, with skin that had died and then scabbed, the wound could not have happened in 24 hours. Physician stated, “this is not what a boil looks like that is only a day old,” and that facility staff were wither lying or had not been looking at R1’s backside. The department interview physical therapist who provided wound care for R1 on 9/15/20 and stated it was possible, based on their observations of the wound and R1’s overall health indicators, that R1 would could have developed from a boil between the evening of 9/13/20 and the morning of 9/14/20. Due to the information gathered LPA finds allegation to be UNSUBSTANTIATED.
Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, the Department have found the allegation to be unsubstantiated.
