Complaint to Archdiocese logged regarding use of Church name by Steward Health
Care System
The son of a patient who died on October 5th, 2012 at The Holy Family Hospital
in Methuen, Massachusetts has filed a formal complaint with the Archdiocese of
Boston.
Brian Evans filed the complaint after his mother died at the hospital following
a routine knee operation.
Helen Bousquet died after being left in an unmonitored recovery room at The Holy
Family Hospital, owned by Steward Health Care System, despite the hospital and
doctors knowledge that she had pre-existing cardiac issues, and sleep apnea,
while dosed out on morphine after knee replacement surgery and throwing up most
of the day she died.
"They just left her there to die," says Evans. "No one had a clue she was even
having an issue, and the word of the day in this place was "protocol" and it
makes me sick," says Evans.
A website has been set up for Helen Bousquet at www.helenbousquet.com
Evans is complaining to the Catholic Church (he is Catholic) that the use by
Steward Health Care Systems of various religious names, despite it being a
private company and not a religious organization, misleads the public into
believing the hospital is "safer."
Evans spoke to Archdiocese investigator Ed Murphy. Murphy replied to Evans that
he had "a good point," and would discuss the complaint with "higher ups."
"Just because it says "Holy" doesn't mean it's "Safer," and the ignorance me and
my family saw at this hospital was utterly disgusting," says Evans.
Evans is intends on meeting with representatives of the church soon. On November
13(th), Evans meets at The State House with state senator's Tarr and
Brownsberger, and an inspector with the Quality Health Department.
"I am glad that there are some who are taking this seriously. Now I'm just
waiting for Martha Coakley (the Attorney General of Massachusetts) to do more
than write me a general blow-off letter and we'll be getting somewhere," says
Evans. "But I won't stop until my mother receives justice, no matter the cost.
What has been done to her, and as a result me, is the worst that could be done
already."
"I'm not interested in people who want to tell me they feel for me. I need them
to feel for my mother, who was choking to death while nurses didn't know
anything was even going on in her room," he says. "They knew she had sleep
apnea. They knew she had a heart condition. They knew she was on morphine. They
knew she was throwing up that day. And they left her in an unmonitored recovery
room and chalked it up to what they called Protocol."
"No private company, like Steward Health Care System of Boston, should own
hospitals using the names "St. Anne's," "Holy Family," "Goos Samaritan," and
"St. Elizabeth's," when it's a for profit corporation. It gives older people the
false sense of security that it did my mother."
