Hidden camera footage recently made public revealed a decorated World War II veteran died after fighting for air while a pair of nurses laughed in front of him.
James Dempsey on Feb. 27, 2014, repeatedly called out to staff members at Northeast Atlanta Health and Rehabilitation before he fell unconscious, gasping for air all the while.
Nursing home staff found him unresponsive just before 5:30 a.m. and it took them nearly an hour to call 911, according to state records obtained by WXIA.
Dempsey’s family, who sued the facility in 2014, declined to comment, citing a settlement with the nursing home.
Former nursing supervisor Wanda Nuckles testified during the trial that she rushed to the 89-year-old veteran’s room when she learned he’d stopped breathing and performed chest compressions until help arrived.
Nuckles did not know she’d been filmed at the time and the clip directly contradicts her account, which she said was just “an honest mistake.”

OH MY GOD!! I can't imagine the suffering that man endured while he laid there dying....Those people deserve every punishment thrown at them and more...there is no excuse. I have been in rooms holding their hand when they have passed, there is no such thing as a funny moment. I want to throat punch her right now

Well, the professional environment will eventually not be intimidated by the race card, work first social programs, hiring people who are the cheapest hire, favoritism and other non- professional attributes when staffing the workforce. Pay good, qualified people their hire and be done with it then move on to provide quality services.
