Disgusted!
A grand jury indicted two nurses and an aied on a number of charges Wednesday in the death of a World War II veteran who was seen on video calling for help in a hospital bed and gasping for air, WXIA-TV reported.
Hidden video of the nursing home room showed 89-year-old World War II veteran James Dempsey calling out for help six times while lying in a hospital bed and gasping for air at the Northeast Atlanta Health and Rehabilitation in 2014. The video was only recently released due to a lawsuit filed by the family and obtained by 11Alive.
Attorneys attempted to prevent the video from being released by asking a county judge to keep it secret. However, the judge ruled in favor of its release.
There are also six hours of video court deposition from a nursing supervisor describing the staff’s response to the incident. These answers were provided before the supervisor knew of the existence of the hidden camera. And the video shows a different story than what the supervisor described.
Former licensed practical nurse Loyce Pickquet Agyeman is charged with felony murder and neglect to an elder person.
Wanda Nuckles, a nursing supervisor, is charged with depriving an elder person of essential services. And Mable Turman, a nursing assistant, is charged with neglect to an elder person.
All three women were indicted on a count of concealing the death of another, 11 Alive reported.
The Brookhaven Police Department launched a criminal investigation into Dempsey’s death after the release of the video.
According to 11 Alive, staff found Dempsey unconscious at 5:28 a.m. but did not call 911 until 6:25 a.m.
Former nursing supervisor Wanda Nuckles said in the deposition that she immediately and continually gave CPR to Dempsey from the time she entered the hospital room. However, after watching the hidden video footage – which shows her not administering CPR at all – her story changes.
Another nurse came into the room but failed to check any of Dempsey’s vital signs, 11 Alive reported. When nurses couldn’t get Dempsey’s oxygen machine operational, the nurses and Nuckles laughed.
11 Alive reported that it took 10 months for the nursing home to fire the nurses after being provided the video in November 2015. Nuckles and another nurse in the video surrendered their licenses in September.
Despite having a one-star rating on Medicare, the nursing home is still operational in Atlanta.

That is very sad news indeed TSgt Joe C. that: former licensed practical nurse Loyce Pickquet Agyeman; nursing supervisor Wanda Nuckles; and nursing assistant, Mable Turman each criminally ignored the pleases of 89-year-old World War II veteran James Dempsey and he died as result of their criminal negligence.
Thankfully, Loyce Pickquet Agyeman has been charged with felony murder and neglect to an elder person.
Hopefully each one of these nursing staff personnel will be tried, found guilty, sentenced to maximum prison times and forbidden from ever working in health care.

PO3 Steven Sherrill
LTC Stephen F. my wife is a nurse. She did fifteen years of Labor and delivery before her knees just couldn't handle it anymore. Now she works on the electronic documentation systems that hospitals use. She would come home exhausted most days. She also would come home usually an hour to three hours after her twelve hour shift was supposed to end. I say this because this horrible incident reflects so negatively on those who I have seen working to the extreme to ensure that patients receive a high quality of care. This incident is unconscionable, and I agree that they should all be charged.
