My name is Andrew Anderson, I was admitted in Habor view hospital on 3/14/18. I have conversion seizures and I got up out of the and had a seizure and felled to the floor. There was no one in the room to assist me and when I felled to the floor a nurse saw me on the an assist me back in bed. Then on 3/16/18 there were two nurse doing test for brain waves and I had a seizure and felt hard to the floor. I don’t remember anything else after I hit my head.

I was a patient at Swedish Medical Center in Denver, Co. with new onset seizure disorder. There were 2 nurse aides that stood me up to go to the bathroom. The side rail on the backside was left down and when they sat me back down on bed, I fell backwards out of bed and onto the floor. I broke a tooth, losing a filling and hit my head. I hurt my shoulders and right arm.
