Story of Stanger Hospital - The place to die

Okay, so my mum was taken to casualty on the 1st of Dec 2024 to Stanger hospital[not sure the new name]-reason being she fell and broke her left hip. waited for about 5 hours after checking her vitals, blood tests etc - my mum was finally admitted that Sunday night. We were pre-warned that the nurses would not feed the patient -the family should it. so Moving her to ward C7 - they administered some blood things- just lying there my mum waited for visiting hours to at least get some water and a little food to eat. Not even sure if she given attention regarding the cleanliness because the staff all seem to be very angry at something[perhaps hate their jobs]. Now my mum is waiting for the hip surgery -gave consent very confidently -only to know the air con was out of order and there was no money for the titanium plate etc. was glad there was going to be a silver lining on that cloud. Days went by, something moved my mum to ward C 8. My mum was barely eating- "they" were probably starving her to death cos nothing else was told about her health besides the hip operation. I think it was about the 26th my sister-in-law went to visit thankfully in time because my mum's pressure was low and then the "doctor" transferred her to something called the hi-care. I assumed this is where u get better care....[i think]. So on the 27th my sister goes to visit my mum on that evening of the 27th- tried to wake my mum only to find her dead. My sister asked that nurse whats going on-apparently my passed at 7pm as this is what she also told me [wasn't bothered cos they see deaths everyday] My mum passed many hours before 7pm - there was not even a time of death. Still lying there waiting to go to the hospital mortuary. So it was my sister who pronounced my mum dead not the "doctor" So that was the end of my mum on that date the 27th of December 2024. No-one but God only knows what transpired. I am still waiting and wanting to know what was the cause of death? whether it was starvation or what?
