Nurse Tells Son His Mother Is Dead, Finds Out A Truth That Makes Him Sick...
By Dreamer
Getting a call that your parent has died is one call that no one ever wants to get. This is a fear for everyone of us. Daniel Nemis’ mom, Sophie Nemis, is 99 years old. She is in great shape and is living a pretty independent life.
One day, Sophie had to go to Seven Oaks General Hospital in Canada because she was suffering from a twisted ankle.
Daniel didn't hear anything from the hospital for a few days and immediately felt that something was not right. Then he got a call that completely broke his heart.
“‘Daniel? Daniel? Daniel?’ in a gentle voice, a soft voice from a nurse,” Daniel recalled to CTV. “‘I’m sorry, your mother passed.'”
Like any son would be, he was hysterical, sobbing in tears. Then he asked how a twisted ankle could cause his mother to die? The nurse paused, took a second look at her information, and realized she made a mistake and called the wrong person.
Another woman had died, not Sophie. The nurse had gotten the two mixed up somehow. Daniel was reasonably upset.
“A patient had passed away overnight, and the nurse coming on shift was responsible to call the next of kin,” the health authority told ABC News in a statement. “The nurse looked at the wrong page in the chart binder, realized part way into the call that she had the wrong name, and apologized profusely.”
Daniel is glad that his mom is still alive, but hopes that hospitals will be more thoughtful when delivering such heartbreaking news. Sophie is expected to turn 100 years old this December and is looking forward to it.
