Writer Investigators Wednesday continued to question and ponder criminal culpability In the case of a 93-year-old woman who was cut bruised and scraped late Sunday night while a patient at Countryside Convalescent Home but "cannot find at this time any indication of a criminal nature" police Sgt Mike Roy said In fact Roy said it appears Elizabeth Lewis may have inflicted some of the injuries on herself as she thrashed about resisting an orderly who was attempting to feed her a liquid dietary supplement Roy said investigators have learned that Mrs Lewis also struggled against ambulance attendants called to transport her to Mercy General Hospital One of the key factors in the case is that Mrs Lewis a patient for three years at the home at 6821 24th St has skin that tears very easily according to the testimony of a nurse Mrs Lewis described as a tiny woman who cannot travel from bed to wheelchair without assistance is in stable condition at the hospital her grandson Randy Staats has said A facial cut was stitched Her arm and neck were cut and bruises were on her chest Staats said Countryside administrator Charles Campbell refused to comment Wednesday According to police reports and comments from authorities Mrs Lewis WM in bed about 11 pm Sunday when Countryside orderly Christopher Gallegos 24 entered the room to feed her the nutrient that looks like a milkshake and typically is given to those who have not eaten well Police reports disclose that Gallegos told the nurse on duty that when he tried to feed Mrs Lewis she pushed the can away As he tried to grab it his wristwatch struck her in the mouth The wound bled heavily and Gallegos tried to daub it clean but could not ho told police and nurse Mary Jenkins Ms Jenkins said she could not stop the bleeding either She said that when she entered the room she saw the cut on the mouth and that Mrs Lewis' skin was split on the neck and left arm "The skin was not gaping open but only split with some slight oozing of blood" Nurse Jenkins told police "Mrs Lewis' skin is very tender and splits very easily There have been several past instances when she was being handled that Mrs Lewis' skin split" she recalled for police However she said "It was never this bad" The nurse said she feels ambulance attendants may have washed Mrs Lewis' skin "too vigourously causing 1 $IOD95 255 STAIN 'GAL RESISTANT 61095 1620
