Clinical narrative: He got his vaccine and his wife is into getting him going and she always parks in the parking lot and he walk to and from the car.  He walked fine to the car, and got home and approximately 2 hours later they had dinner.  After finishing eating he got up and fell on the floor.  She asked what did he do, she tried helping him up and tried lifting him.  She called the paramedics and they got him up off the floor.  He kept trying to get up himself but could not.  They asked him how he felt. and she suggested that he may need to just sit down on the sofa, and wife suggested that he may need to go to bed, which they put him in bed.  He then rested for a while and then fell asleep and he usually gets up and gets ready for bed.  She suggested that he skip that so he did not fall again.  He was laying in bed, and in the middle of the night his wife checks on him, and she thought that she heard something, and found him on the floor.  She asked what happened and he said that he just fell out of bed, and she could not lift him.  He laid on the floor and she continued to try and help him up, and called the paramedics back again around 3:00 AM.  They came back and put him back in the bed.  She said that they would have to see about it the next day at it was 3:00-4:00 AM.  The next day he was laying in bed and asked if could get up, and she called the paramedics to take him to the hospital.  He was not able to eat anything and was laying in a weird position and could not move.  They got him up again and felt that they needed to go to the hospital, and said that they would have to wait 10-12 hours to be seen.  He then stayed in his bed and she helped him by getting a cup for him to urinate in it as he was not able to get up to go to the bathroom.  The urine was dark, which was normally clear.  She asked if she could help move over in the bed more, and said that he could not move his arms to move over.  She then determined that they were going to the hospital and called the paramedics back again, and she told them that she was going to the hospital.  He went to  Hospital.  She called his doctor prior to that and felt that he had Guillain Barre and said for him to go to ER.  They were waiting and when he saw a doctor she told them that he had the shingles vaccine, and that he cold always walk and do his normal things, and they would not listen to her.  They did a lot of tests on him from a CT scan, CAT scan, all blood work and all his tests were perfect.  When they went into the room to see the doctor she told them that she wanted him checked for Guillain Barre and that his tests brain scan, stomach, blood work was all okay and said that she was going to run another test.  A couple of hours later he was almost 1 point of being in kidney failure, and on 9/9/22 20 days before that he had lab work and had a urine done on him and it was perfect.  He had not been ill before the vaccine.  He was then admitted to the hospital and his wife kept monitoring his blood levels.  His blood levels went from 16000 to 840, then to 8 something again and then down to 4000 and stayed at that for 3-4 days.  They had to keep flushing his system to get it out of his system.  He had CKD.  Finally when they got his last level before he was OK to leave the hospital and had to go to therapy as he had rhabdomyolysis as he had laid in bed for 3 days and damaged his kidneys.   They had to help him into the bathroom into the hospital and said that he had to go to rehab after discharge from the hospital on 10/6/22.  He went to rehab then was to get PT.  His wife had called insurance to ask questions and asked if there would be a licensed PT to do his rehab, and she was told that he would be.  He was discharged from the hospital at 2:00 PM, and was admitted to  facility at approximately 2:30.  He was in an ambulance and she followed them.  She went into the facility and asked where he was and they said what room he was in. She found him sitting in a chair and asked questions of what he signed and it became 5:00 PM and no one had been in to say what was going on or introduce themselves.  An MNA came in which was the first person they saw, and asked if wanted water which she said yes as he had kidney failure and asked where the doctors/nurses, etc. were, and was told they would be there.  A social worker was then called and wife asked where were the doctors and nurses were and said that he needed to come back in and ask questions.    The nurse said that she was going to do the PT, not registered or anything.  She insisted that she wanted to see a nurse or doctor, and then they put him in bed and said that they needed more water due to CKD.  She never saw a real doctor or nurse and then asked questions the next day and said nobody was around to help him go to the bathroom where he was supposed to be assisted with him.  She arrived at 2:00 to meet with the nurses and they told her that she missed that, and wanted to talk to people that were involved in the meeting that she missed.  She was then giving a lot run around, and finally talked to the director of nursing and yelled at her and told if she did not want him there she could get him out of there.   His doctors wanted CKD testing, and they would not do do testing.  She met a lab tech and found out that it was not drawn and they called the police on her and she was not allowed to be on the premises and he stayed in there for 3 days.  He was then discharged as they were upset with her on 10/6/22.  He is now home and improving and he is going to start therapy this week.
