Hands and arms covered in bruises!
By Mia Tucker
Could it be that they are pulling your mother up out of chairs by the wrists? My sister witnessed staff doing this to our mum: not out of malice but simply out of ignorance about how to move her properly.
Mum was admitted to hospital soon afterwards and I found bruises like those you've described. Even my sister thought I was paranoid, but a nurse on the ward confirmed that the bruises should not have been there.
I understand your reluctance to speak up--dealing with this kind of thing is a nightmare--but I do think you need to raise it.
Best wishes to you and your mum xx
