A hidden video from 2014 showed nurses laughing as a World War II veteran repeatedly called for help and died while in their care.
The family of James Dempsey, 89, of Woodstock, Ga., hid a camera in the late veteran’s room in the Northeast Atlanta Health and Rehabilitation Center which captured the night he died.
The video showed the decorated WWII veteran repeatedly calling for help, saying he could not breathe. It also showed the nurses failing to take life-saving measures and laughing as they tried to start an oxygen machine.

Hidden Cameras EVERYWHERE!
Please elaborate on your experience with nursing homes. Because I believe you are confusing them with hospices.
no, they deserve to be deprived of breath.
As they should be.
And most people continue to believe this type of behavior doesn’t signify anything.
I worked in a nursing home 2 1/2 years. My daughter has worked at several. The biggest issue is finding reliable workers. For the most part, the nurses are awesome. The CNAs, not so much. Were those women actually RNs?
They deserve imprisonment!
I’m not sure you do CPR when someone is having breathing problems.
The nurses probably would say they need some humor because they are around death all the time. They have become insensitive to death. And these particular nurses are in Scripture: “the love of many shall wax cold.”
“I wonder how they would have felt if he laughed when they needed him”!
That my FRiend is definitely the post of the day.
Was told by family member who worked in a nursing home,always show up...Never the same time...She said those were the patients that were taken care of better than ones,who had family the rarely or never visited.
May the two nurses ROT in HELL, begging for water!!!
Nuckles and another nurse did not surrender their licenses until this September when the Georgia Board of Nursing was sent a link to the video by the news station.
What the hell are they doing giving a 89 year old frail man CPR? Break his sternum, puncture his lungs and cause painful death.
The man doesn’t have a DNR?
Poor soul needs more 02 to be comfortable, and perhaps medication. But not CPR!
I was speaking from personal observation of those who finally require a nursing home environment. The majority are there because they require a lot of attention, and all too often they are deceased within a years time. I certainly hope I never have to rely on a nursing home, but then again I do not want to burden any of my family either.
Not even really saying anything about nursing homes, as much as I am about their clientele. Though we have all heard of terrifying tales of nursing homes for sure over the years. I tend to think that it becoming necessary for them to go there tends to zap their will to live on.
I’m more interested in how the actual recording was retrieved.
How many hours can there be on a storage device?
Was a internet transmitter used?
There’s a segment of our society I have hard feelings against. It’s they who’ve destroyed our inner cities.
Oh, and whatever happened with Obamacare’s health profiling? Guess they couldn’t get that past the nurses...
There’s lots of covert electronics out there. A drone camera/TX with a bigger battery and receiver/recoder in the parking lot would work.
Are the orderly and the nurse who laughed at him and refused his cries to help African-American?
I didn't want to ruin the narrative here, but I thought the same thing.
He should have been DNR, comfort care measures only at admission.
This particular video is misleading.
I don't know what happened leading up to the retrieval of the O2 tank.
I see that they deflated his airbed, as if to start CPR, but they don't show what they did after that. I also don't know why the nurses were laughing.
TBH, I've never seen *any* medical staff member behaving like that as someone is dying, no matter how callous.
Maybe the staff WAS terrible and cruel,but this particular video is not conclusive as it is presented.
Need more info.
Also need info as to why the family installed the camera.
Did this man's family suspect abuse? Very possible.
