Issues and Concerns with UPMC Altoona

03/24/2024

Hey, it’s 9:54 PM and I’m getting ready to go to bed and I still wanna live and I’m fighting to live every second. I’m awake and I’m asleep so please don’t 302 me trying to say I don’t care about living and I’m trying to hurt myself, or use my words against me to cover up your mistakes because I’m not delusional to fact check me

Hey UPMC Altoona hide this…. The night I was 302ed I was R***d by a doctor with the help of a nurse…. How about this just to try and prove that I was on drugs or drinking! It’s funny how that 302 was more to cover upmc employees mistreatment, lack of care, and down right neglect. My name is Kelly Bowers I’m 40 years old and I was r***d by a nurse at the request of a doctor to use a straight catheter on me to collect my urine for them to do a toxicology after I told them all that I was aware that they could not be touching me and doing the things that they wanted to do without my consent I requested multiple times to speak to my attorney tried multiple attempts to get them to allow me to speak to my attorney. Instead, they decided to sedate me to the point of unconsciousness after my self and my wife told them that I had already taken sleeping medication. The next thing I remember was waking up on 3G in the green monster with no underwear on a pair of hospital pants 2 robes and when I get my bearings I stand up and look at the cubby and my underwear tucked in a corner in the back of one. It was so scary. I thought I was r***d by another patient. Do you know how sick I am that a doctor and a nurse drugged me then r***d me! Make this make sense!

Josh I need Batman to get here I tried to call him but his cell is different now. Office of Victim Advocate so you have an attorney in Jennifer Storms old spot 🤷🏼‍♀️ I proved her wrong wrong pretty bad with actually getting those charges from that private criminal complaint I filed…. So I guess this would be a put up or shut up situation prove me wrong and with this post everyone that reads it Jennifer Storm does not deserve that position more than her because I know Jen Storm would definitely fight for me for this.

Sarah Klein just so you know I was trying to help YOU out once again 🤦🏼‍♀️ what have you ever done for me well other then that video for the event but 🤔 how many clients have you gotten because of me make it make sense and I was still giving you a shot even after you maliciously used conversations shared in a survivor group without my permission to try and slam State Senator Kim Ward Kim Ward thank you for doing the best you can always for victims and survivors

I’m going to add more to this post as things happen I am a put up or shut up tight person. This is people truly finding out the things I’m saying don’t seem that crazy anymore do they because if you think this post and the tags in it or not without thought, yeah, think again

You Just Found Out

Hey, the wagons already full by the way, so we don’t need any bandwagon buddies trying to act like they are something and tried to help because that’s a complete lie. Ask me anything you want because seriously what can anyone do to me …….. take away my birthday 🧐 oh yeah, by the way, please don’t try and 30 to me to cover what you did to me because we already got everything. I think. I literally have the best attorney in the world and I’m not tagging her in this because as soon as I hit send to post this I need to try and call her…..Yeah dad I get it i’m gonna live but my brains always gonna be fu**ed because how sick they left me get you’re an as***le you don’t think I noticed that I started getting sicker the end of January and a lot sicker around 7 February 777 something I keep saying something I keep saying why I’m so sick is no caused by me it really was caused because lack of care and neglect and for the longest time I beg people to listen just to help me live and the things that I faced are so horrible. No one could even ever understand, just because people wouldn’t Google functional neurological disorder or Waunakee Christoff syndrome and I’m having a Nuro issue right now so I don’t know if that’s made sense so I got to half off here just know I am not giving up life of me to anyone before I am ready. My grandchildren deserve to know their grandmother

Listen this page is going to take a lot of trust. I had a link up to post anonymously but it stopped working. So if you want me to post something you will have to inbox me….. I have another page called issue In Altoona School District. This method has worked extremely well for years and have never thrown anyone under the bus……. Also my name is Kelly Bowers I’m the only admin on this page. I’m tired of a lot in our community so I try and take a stand when I can.

FYI You do not have to follow the page to inbox me.

From the box…..
The staffing and way this place treats nursing staff is horrendous. I worked here as a PCT and it was awful. This was an issue before Covid and has only gotten worse since Covid. They do not value their staff enough and do not pay them enough. The work these staff members put in is valued by everyone except the company. Respiratory therapist are also very overworked. A lot of the community complains and takes it out on the staff because they don’t see the behind the scene issues. They’re tired. They’re over worked. Nothing came change until the community has their backs. This issue is life threatening to our community as a whole and until some safe staffing laws are in place nothing will change. Pay attention to who you vote for because many officials have shot down safe staffing.

I was admitted the other day and I wanted to give this nurse a thank you her name is Jill she’s way back in the cut on 6. Just saying her kindness and understanding was greatly appreciated while dealing with my situation.
These travelers are for the most part great but we need our local nurses!

My name is Kelly and I’m the administrator of this page. This is just one of the issues I have had. No this issue is not what this entire page is about. I have a pretty big issue with how those in addiction recovery get treated by certain staff at the hospital. I have been really sick and in the hospital a lot. What I have going on requires pain medicine unfortunately. I am coming up on 16 years clean from misuse of narcotics, opiates, and benzos (my dealers at the time by the way were my doctors). I have had a problem with the same hospitalist 2xs the first time this “doctor” was refusing me pain medication for about 2 days and long story short I was told I could ask for a new doctor. I did and when I asked this “doctor” if he would step aside and let me have a new doctor he said yes, now as this “doctor” is leaving my room he looks at me and tells me that he can put in for the new doctor but chances are I still wouldn’t have pain medicine until the next day with a smile on his face. Well yeah that’s not cool! I told this “doctor” exactly how I felt about him and also told him flat out I hope he does this to someone who is in active addiction and they kick his a$$ for how he treats them! Anyway yesterday 1/13/23 I get put on this “doctors”rounds again and he decides to want to play games with my medication again but he stepped down from my case himself this time. This here issue will not be stopping with just this Facebook post trust that! Have the opinion you want but a medical professional should never treat someone the way I was treated.

You know it’s just as important to recognize the great in our hospital here as well. I have had so so many amazing doctors, nurses, techs, people from the IV team and so many others help with my care over the past few months. I made this page because I have the hope that someone in the UPMC Organization will take notice and care. My issues and concerns are with UPMC and how their lack of support for all staff is impacting those of us that need care. It is frustrating that the bad has to be focused on as well because no one would take notice if this page was just about the good.

What should we talk about?

Why do our nurses not get treated like we want them around?
I appreciate the traveling nurses that we have filling the needs right now but it makes me sick that UPMC can pay them so much more plus pay for their contract but argue about how much they pay our nurses to keep them wanting to work in the conditions they are!
