WICHITA, Kan. - A Wichita nursing home is under investigation after doctors reported finding open sores and maggots on a resident's feet when he was brought to a hospital for treatment of chest pains.
Police Lt. Doug Nolte told The Wichita Eagle (http://bit.ly/okhTxA) that the 67-year-old man told police he was being mistreated at Deseret HealthCare and Rehabilitation center. Doctors at Via Christi Hospital contacted police after the man was brought to the hospital Tuesday night.
The nursing home's administrator, Melisa Lang, said federal privacy laws prevent the company from discussing specific patients.
