Poor man fought for his country only to be laughed at by the people he fought for.

"The recording was illegal" So is letting that poor old man die and laughing at him

I had a similar thing happen to me when I was a young woman. I was bed bound in hospital, unable to move calling out for help from ANYONE as nurses were ignoring my bell. There was laughing, loud whispering and gossiping in the distance as they were talking about me behind my back, knowing I was in pain and crying out for help. I had chest pain and was blacking out . They kept walking straight past me. I thought I was going to die. Eventually someone did come but was rude and cruel telling me there was nothing wrong . I was a prisoner in that bed and hostage to their inaction. I’ve blocked most of this out but I think they gave me a painkiller? I was in there for weeks and was bullied by most of the nurses it was a nightmare. If you’re disabled be ready to be treated like an animal. This video shows what can happen when you’re vulnerable. If you don’t have family or friends scrutinising their moves and maintaining a good physical presence your fair game. I survived and NEVER want to return to that hospital.

Unbelievable!! Disgustingly sick!! His son had every right to hide a camera in his room!!

Who tf cares if it’s an illegal recording? They did nothing to help him and just laughed at him as he died.

Why were they laughing as the vet was dying? This is stone cold, and this is a nursing home....all nursing homes SHOULD have cameras in every room for patients safety...

Proves "Justice System" has *nothing* to do with ACTUAL JUSTICE. Literally shows him begging for his life...wtf

This hits so hard. I nursed my father last year . He too had breathing difficulties and it was traumatic to witness someone suffering this way . With the help of community nurses , we managed to make it as comfortable as possible for him. Even though we're on different continents , this gentleman reminds me so much of him. He is so helpless and defenseless, it is truly heartbreaking . I hope they get what they deserve.

As a nurse I find these nurses to be totally disgusting, poor man, how frightened must he feel xxx

It was not illegally recorded, this shows a crime that happened. That man fought hard for this country just for 3 nasty witches to laugh at him dying. They deserve to be thrown in jail for life

I hope these 3 women get exactly the same care when they're dying that they gave this gentleman. Pure EVIL.

This is agonizing to watch. I can only imagine how his family felt seeing this... May his soul rest in peace🥇✨

Those women need to be arrested for that man's death period.

Nurses behaving like this.The fact the son felt compelled to place a camera in his father's room speaks volumes. He felt his father was being neglected and or abused.I don't care what your race,creed,color, religion etc,everyone deserves to be treated with kindness ,care and Respect. RIP sir and to the son ,I'm very sorry for your loss.

"The case is on hold because the video was recorded illegally" SO?! How the hell does this change the end result? Laws are a freaking joke, I swear.

I spent years in the hospital in my 20’s. I had tons of amazing doctors and nurses. However, I had one nurse who was sadistic. I was on a ventilator ( a tube down my throat to make you breathe) and it would fill with fluid and needed to be suctioned out so I could breathe once in awhile. One nurse just watched me panic as I couldn’t breath and smiled. I was so desperate that I started knocking everything over I could get my hands on. Luckily another nurse came in hearing the noise. As soon as she walked in the other nurse pretended to be busy picking things up. The 2nd nurse quickly suctioned my tube out but I still couldn’t talk. I wrote on a piece of paper to call my family immediately. I was afraid she would do it again possibly killing me. The “Nurse Ratchet” tried to prevent the 2nd nurse from calling my family saying it was to late (it was 2am). Sensing something definitely wasn’t right she called them immediately. My mom saw how scared I was. I’d been in the hospital for 6 months and had never been scared despite multiple surgeries and having a ventilator for a month so far. I explained in writing and she guarded my room and insisted Nurse Ratchet not come anywhere near my room. I filed a complaint with the hospital when I was able to speak again. I hoped she was fired. About 14 months later I went to the hospital to bring flowers to a nurse who I was dating. In the elevator I saw “Nurse Ratchet”. Even though I was healthy, 6 inches taller than her and could knock her unconscious I started having a panic attack. Apparently because I was “on pain meds” they dismissed my accusation as likely a hallucination as Nurse Ratchet claimed.. I hope that nurse hasn’t killed anyone since, but that evil smile/excited expression she had while I was suffocating still gives me chills.

A nice update, the court sided with James and the video was deemed perfectly legal. All 3 of the “nurses” were charged.

His son must have had reason too put the camera there .and he was right .

Unfortunately, this happens ALL of the time. It happened to my own grandpa and what’s really sad is that I had spent the day with him. He was so happy to see me and doing well. I learned that day from grandpa that there was a nurse that abused him regularly. In fact, I could see the sadness and fear of this woman in his eyes. Grandpa couldn’t recall her name, but he described her as a big, tough talking woman. He said that whenever he needed assistance and she helped, she was extremely rough with him and would punch him in his back and chest. He said she paid no attention when he asked for water or juice and most times, he never got any. Our family kept a supply of juice, ice creams, and other things especially for grandpa. Grandpa’s room was right beside the nurses station. He could hear them talking and even when I was visiting, I could hear them. He said he would hear them talking about him and other patients and he said they are the ice creams and snacks we provided for him. Grandpa asked me if I would shave him, but his razor and other grooming needs were gone. He said when they needed something for someone else, they would take his things. They also used his clothing on other men. They even took his pajamas and underwear! I bought him new shaving supplies and after I shaved him, I marched myself of to their desk and chewed them out. I actually saw a patient wearing a pair of grandpa’s pajamas. They told me that sometimes the laundry staff accidentally mixes things up. I told them that was absolutely ridiculous as we hand sewed labels into his things. I also asked about the nurse that was abusing him. They said they didn’t know who he was talking about, but that I needed to understand that my grandpa was old. He might be old, but he’s not senile! I was fuming. I even called my grandma, but she told me grandpa was making stuff up. I shouldn’t say this, but my grandma wasn’t the kindest person to my grandpa. They lived two blocks from the nursing home. You could actually see it from their home. Grandma was more able to get around than my grandpa and although, they had help, grandma wouldn’t stop complaining until they put him in that damed nursing home. I hated to leave him that night. We had a wonderful day together, but I lived in another state and had to leave. We both cried as we hugged and I told him I would be back to see him soon. The very next day, my mom called to tell me that my papaw had passed during the night. I was inconsolable. Two weeks later I received a phone call from a charge nurse at the nursing home. I’ll call her Jo. I knew this nurse very well as she had married a distant cousin of mine. She had no idea of my visit with grandpa or what we had talked about, yet some of the very things she told me, were the things grandpa had told me. The big, rough nurse was real and she mistreated a lot of patients, my grandpa included. Jo told me the nurse did hit grandpa and that anytime he rang for her, she ignored him, even though grandpa’s room was no more than 15 steps from her desk. In fact, the reason this charge nurse called was to tell me that the rough nurse had attributed to the death of my grandpa and she believed that had grandpa been given his meds he would have not died. Nurse Jo and the nurse grandpa didn’t like were both working the night of my grandpa’s death, but in charge of different floors. While at the nurses station together, my grandpa had rang to tell his nurse that he was having chest pains. Grandpa had a bad heart, but instead of his nurse immediately taking his nitro pills to him, she ignored him. Nurse Jo told her, “Mr. Chittum needs his heart pills. If you don’t have time, I’ll take them.” Grandpa’s nurse replied that she would take care of it. Nurse Jo was already making her way to one of her patients when she heard my grandpa ring again, asking specifically for his heart meds. Nurse Jo then heard his nurse comment, “He can die for all I care!” Nurse Jo said all was quiet after that and it was only a couple of hours until shift change. About 15 minutes before shift change, Jo said she stopped by grandpa’s room to check on him. She said she did this most every morning as she knew grandpa was family. She also told me that grandpa was one the sweetest patients in the whole facility. She said at first he seemed to be sleeping, but then she realized he was dead. Nurse Jo said her heart did a little flip flop as the details of the night’s events ran through her mind. She left him and went immediately to his nurse and asked her when did Mr. Chittum pass and why hadn’t she said something. The hateful old nurse told her she didn’t know he had passed, but Jo did not believe her. Jo told me that she hung around past shift change because she wanted to go over grandpa’s charts. Grandpa’s nurse had recorded her last interaction with my grandpa was to administer his insulin not more than 10 minutes of Jo discovering he had passed. She had also recorded giving him nitro pills almost 3 hours prior to the insulin. Nurse Jo knew this was a lie. She went on to tell me that by the state my grandpa was in when she found him, he had been dead several hours and yet, his nurse said she had given him insulin 10 minutes prior to her finding him. She said that the rigor Morris would have made given injections very hard. Nurse Jo told me that she had been thinking hard about what transpired that night between the hateful nurse and my grandpa. She kept going over his charts in her mind. Grandpa had a nitro pill along the time she had heard him ring for them and that his insulin had been given just shortly before the shift change. She kept repeating to me, there was no way possible that insulin could have been administered at the time his nurse placed in his chart. Rigor Morris had set up in grandpa’s body and by her calculations, grandpa had died around the exact time he rang for his nitro pills. So, his nurse was lying about everything. Nurse Jo said she highly doubted grandpa had ever been given his nitro pills. She believed that his nurse gave him nothing and grandpa had a massive heart attack. His nurse was straight up lying when she said she didn’t know grandpa had died and she was lying about giving him insulin, if she did give insulin, she gave it to a dead man. By this time Jo was crying and apologizing to me for not saving my grandpa. Everyone who knew his nurse, didn’t particularly like her. They all said she was rough and rude and lazy and didn’t want to process grandpa’s death. She had failed to give him his nitro pills, resulting in his death and she knew he had been dead for hours and had just pretended he was well and fine. Jo said when a patient of yours dies, there’s a lot of preparation of the body and paperwork that has to be done, including arrangements with the funeral home. It’s time consuming and his nurse knew that and didn’t want the hassle of working overtime, so she pretended grandpa was alive when she administered his insulin and she was going to leave his body for someone else to discover, but her plans were foiled when Jo found him. Jo also caught her red handed in her nasty scheme. Furthermore, Jo had done some background checks into this nurse. She was making serious allegations and she wanted to know more before saying anything. In checking up on this monster, Jo found that she had worked many different nursing homes and had been fired from 6 because of her behavior towards other nurses, staff, and patients. She was also suspected of stealing certain medications that she withheld from her patients. Jo told me she wanted me to know because she cared about every patient, plus grandpa was family and she said he was so kind and she knew he had been abused and felt strongly that had his nurse given him his nitro, he would not have died. She said if our family took it to court that she and two other staff members would testify against the nurse that let my grandpa die. You know, we can’t say for sure that grandpa wouldn’t have died anyway, but we can say for sure that his nurse did nothing to help me and then allowed everyone to believe he was alive and she even says she administered insulin to a dead man! When I took this matter to my family, I was grieving so much, but I didn’t get the response that I thought they would give me. My dad said to call his sister and I guess she thought she was comforting me when she said,”No, no one killed him. He was old. It was his time.” Grandpa passed over 20 years ago. I know my grandpa is in Heaven, but there’s not a day that I don’t think of him and there’s not a day that I don’t blame myself for not holding that nurse accountable. I will live with this regret all of my life. I love you GRANDPA.

Risked his life for his country only to be treated like that in his final years. Disgusting

That room is that man’s legal home, you have a right to film ANYONE in your home.

Rest In Peace, he didn’t deserve to die, he was an innocent man. May you Rest In Peace James. You won’t be forgotten

There is not even a need to go to a court in order to decide this unhuman thing...Why should something so obvious take so long for justice?

On hold or not, I PRAY justice is served for this hero!! How DARE y'all treat him like that!!! It's inhumane and sick!!

"Recorded illegally" A MAN IS DEAD AND THATS WHAT YOUR WORRIED ABOUT??!!

Sad that they literally let a patient in their care die needlessly.

That son was a genius for setting up a hidden camera in his room. And whether it was recorded illegally means NOTHING. The proof is in the pudding.

This probably wasn't the first patient to be treated like this from these women. I hope justice is served. Poor man. R.I.P♥️

murder is murder no matter how the video is gotten, it becomes fact and evidence. Security requirement it all over the pace everywhere.

The true crime was laziness, slothness, and incompetence.

It's a damn shame that people have to have hidden cams to make sure their loved one receive the care they need.

This is disgusting and frightening, one day if we are lucky we will all live to an old age and we all could end up in that situation!

“What you want now?” Should never leave a caretakers mouth. They should stay in jail.

" But the video is illegal " Its like when a kid bullies you , takes your money and ruins your social life but you decide to stick up for yourself by hitting him back and the teacher getting mad at YOU and not the bully bc you did it back- I cant-

That is sick and disgusting. What a disgrace. I am disgusted.

No recordings of crimes should ever be excluded. That is not and should never be a protected right of a criminal in a murder case.

Imagine the fear that poor man felt. Dying alone is hard enough, but not being helped and instead being mocked? Disgusting. Rest in Peace, sweet man.

He was renting that room. Which is considered his home and private residence. You can video tape in your private residence. Most nursing homes charge $10,000 a month for that room that they rent.

I am investigating a homicide case (voluntarily) & I have been informed as long as the people on the tape have knowledge (the son in this case) of the recording, it is permissible to use in court. This is a travesty to treat a veteran with such indignity & intentional meanness. This man gave his life for others. To let him die without so much as an act of kindness & compassion is unforgivable. 🙏🏻

There is a special kind of HELL for people who treat the elderly so bad!

The son placed a camera because he knew something was wrong, but couldn't prove it without evidence. His effort probably saved others from the same fate, Semper fi to the decreased vet.

Well as an RN myself, I am ashamed of them for laughing. They should never be allowed to care for any patient ever again. They sicken me.

It's disgusting how our veterans and elderly are treated. My Veteran Grandfather passed away in a care facility and was treated horribly and left in disgusting and embarrasing conditions.He passed in 2018 and I still feeling like I got punched in the stomach when I found out that he was ignored for hours despite desperately needing help and finding out about the sores he had to endure with no cleaning or care for days. I was livid.

The monthly charge to stay in a nursing facility is astronomical, then to be treated this way is just plain evil.

As a care giver, this breaks my heart. You are responsible for treating someone's loved ones with empathy and respect.

It hurts me to hear him shout “help me I can’t breathe” the pain he probably was going through

This crap happens more than ppl realize. Probably even to your own families. It's disgusting and should be stopped!!!

I am a USN veteran and I am very disgusted by all this.This is reprehensible, repulsive and pure evil.

That’s so messed up I hope that man and his family gets justice. How do these women sleep at night? Sickening.

Went to Georgia Supreme Court and was allowed to be used in the case against the nurses.

Show it! Why are these women working in that field if they don’t want to be bothered with people. Wouldn’t want them for me or any relative of mine. They need to be fired & held accountable.

This is why I ask the question , Why do serial Killers go after innocent victims when the world is full of people like these ?

I hope those people who laugh at him will experience what he been through before he take his last breath

those women are probably not even sorry for killing the man himself. they just think about whats gonna happen to them next

This is scary. My mom is in 1 of these places, and when I speak to her I die inside. She's begging for her meds because it's way late. So many things. Before covid I was on them. Now due to covid I've not seen my mom in 2 yrs so I'm worried.

I wouldnt want those animals in charge of my health.

I'm an aspiring nurse, and the behavior of those nurses is utterly disgusting. Every patient needs to be cared for seriously, their life and recovery is in your hands. I hope those women recieve proper sentencing and leave the medical field. My heart goes out to that vetreran.

Sick, this whole world is sick.... My condolences to the family, God willing justice will be theirs!

Disgusting😡 They should be arrested and the video should be admisible in court

How could anyone treat a fellow human being like this?! Laughing and mocking an old man who is begging for help because he can't breathe. Those women are pure evil.

These evil women should be in jail for the rest of their lives. How many others were harmed under their "care"? We'll never know that.

Then sue the nursing home for failure to protect their residents. Lock them up!

When I was a teenager, I crashed my car into a tree and broke my femur. In hospital, I told the nurse that I couldn't breathe through the nose tube. The nurses laughed and one said, "leave it to a teenager to say they can't breathe with an oxygen tube." I took it off and blew my nose. Clumps of dried blood came out and cleared up my nasal passage. She said, "oh" Yea. Oh. Stupid. Turns out, I had severe internal bleeding.

This war veteran fought to keep these nurses safe in their homes but now they betray him and terrorized him.

This is how the nurses laughed at my mother who died in the Walter Reed Hospital in 2001. They couldn't stand the fact i was there everyday Watching their Asses. Don't Play with people. Especially people who are ill and bed bound. Sick!

Sadly, this happens all the time. I've actually lost a lot of respect for nurses and doctors. Seems like every time I've had to go to the hospital, I would overhear nurses and doctors laughing and talking about patients. Sick, indeed.

That brave Veteran died from the abject abuse from the women, and the video should be seen by the courts. Send those “nurses” to jail and never let them work in the medical field ever again. Rest In Peace Sir. From a fellow Veteran

That’s ridiculous. The son clearly had suspicions of wrongdoing. These women need to be locked up.

This makes me so sick. My mom passed in a care home during the lockdown. They told me she couldn't breathe. They never called the ambulance. I wasn't allowed to visit and I'll never know what really happened. This sad story might be all too common. I wish I'd had thought to place a camera in her room. I miss her everyday.

There's nurse's like this in every hospital and nursing home across the world. Protect your loved one's and keep them close. Evil is rampant in this fallen world.

Heartbreaking! I experienced this treatment firsthand as many others stuck in facilities like this. I wish I had been able to record it.

My father was killed in 1968 right before I was born in Vietnam. This was his second Tour of Duty, and I know he didn't want to go, but he had no choice and did his duty. He was killed by being shot in the chest several times. Probably some kind of machine gun fire. He was 19 years old. I think he knew he would not be coming back and that my friends is bravery. Veterans should be taken care of with the best care. Seeing this really broke my heart. I cannot believe anybody, let alone a nurse left the care for patients, would treat a veteran like this. The man that died was Brave but these worms are cowards. Shame on their lack of empathy.

Our society is sick. People have no feelings anymore. They think old people are too much trouble. My father died last month. Doctors said they would not treat him because he had lived a long life. People only love and respect money.

Guys, this is just one of the few that got recorded, imagine all the others that weren’t recorded as proof.

As a nurse this is disgusting!!!! How could those women do this??? I will give them a pass on the laughing since we don't know if they had been joking around prior to entering the room, but NOT TO doing nothing to aid this man. Helping others is part of us or at least should be. If you are in it for money just get out!!!

Wow such bs, they need to be made accountable for their crime

His son installed that camera because he new something wasn’t right. And they were right. That’s so sad and terrible. That poor old man. These woman we’re supposed to be taking care of him and they let him suffer and neglected him.

My heart broke when the man said “help me” and them laughing at him begging for help makes me just wanna die.

And this is why people need to have someone they trust to go with them to the hospital even in a pandemic.

These women should feel ashamed of themselves. How disgusting.

This is why my father never wanted to go into a nursing home! God bless his soul he was 89 when he passed away, and he did it on his terms, and lived in his own apartment!

*"Illegal video recorded without their consent" meanwhile:"theres no video that shows them doing it" that man fought for this country,karma will get them.*

The pain and fear that occur when you can’t breathe is torture.

This story is heartbreaking that man trusted the nurse to help him but they didn’t care .

unfortunately this happens almost all the time. I have sickle cell anemia, and when I had a pain crises we went to the hospital because I was sobbing and could barely stand. they held us up for 5 hours calling the police and questioning my parents thinking I was faking the pain for drugs. I was 9.

3 evil witches should not be left near an elder person ,and his family had every right to film them to protect this man they should be prosecuted

They all need to go to jail. Just downright disgusting what they did.

I had the same thing happen to me. The hospital staff told me I was violating HIPPA laws. I'm lucky to be alive.

If this were my daddy, whether these health care workers were charged, convicted or not...you better believe, they will get theirs, one way or another. 😡

"The video is illegal" When you're so loyal to the law that you forget what Justice is-

Damn shame, they need to be in jail begging for their lives.

I hope those women get exactly the same treatment that they gave that poor soul. Treat people the way you want to be treated yourself. Rip sir

No matter who it is, no one deserves to be laughed at while they are dying... -Monkey D. Luffy

His son...very smart idea, the camera. Thank you for your father's service. And I am sorry for your loss.

This literally makes me sick to my stomach, poor man

In the interest of justice this video MUST be shown.

Low down. Some people shouldn’t be in certain jobs.

They should never see the light of day. Period. They are sick and twisted.

The nurses should be charged with murder. How horrible that a nurse or medical care worker would allow this to happen

They should be charged with a hate crime.
