FOG BLOG RIDICULOG: 1ST RATE CARE AT NURSING HOMES?!!
RIDICULOG , IN THE NEWS THIS PAST 2 WEEKS , THERE IS A STORY OF LOCH LOMOND VILLA IN SAINT JOHN MAKING A RESIDENT PAULINE BREENE LEAVE BECAUSE THEY DID NOT LIKE THE COMMENTS HER DAUGHTERS MADE ABOUT HER WEIGHT LOSS! BECAUSE THEY FOUND NO SPECIAL CARE OR OTHER NURSING HOME BED FOR HER WHEN SHE WAS RELEASED, SHE ENDED UP IN THE REGIONAL HOSPITAL AND FOUND OUT SHE HAS END STAGE CANCER! ;SHE IS NOW IN BOBBY'S HOSPICE! MY HEART GOES OUT TO HER AND HER FAMILY AND NOW AT LEAST THEY HAVE ANSWERS AND SHE WILL BE COMFORTED IN A BETTER ENVIRONMENT BUT WHY DID THE NURSING HOME NOT TRY TO FIND ANSWERS ABOUT HER WEIGHT LOSS FOR THE DAUGHTERS? I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS AT ALL! THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY DAD, HE WAS IN THE CARLETON KIRK NURSING HOME ON THE WEST SIDE AND WENT ON AND ON ABOUT THEIR IN HOUSE DR. ON STAFF. WELL WHEN IT COUNTED THEY ALL FELL FLAT! THE DAY BEFORE MY DAD WAS ADMITTED TO HOSPITAL , HE WAS COUGHING CONSTANTLY. ABOUT A WEEK OR SO BEFORE, THEY HAD HIM STAY IN HIS ROOM WHILE THE WINDOW WAS OPEN, THIS IS IN WINTER 7 PLUS YEARS AGO. A PATIENT HAD DIED IN THE SAME ROOM AND THEY AIRED IT OUT. WHEN THEY GOT DAD AND TOOK HIM OUT , HE WAS COLD. FAST FORWARD TO THE COUGHING, WE THINK HE GOT PNEUMONIA. HE NEVER COUGHS. WE TOLD NURSING STAFF AND THEY SAID , OH ITS NOTHING , WE SAID , HE'S SICK, HAVE THE DR. LOOK AT HIM! THEY DIDN'T AND NEXT DAY HE WAS UNRESPONSIVE. IT MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE MADE THE DIFFERENCE TO HIS EVENTUAL DEATH, BUT THERE IS DUE DILIGENCE , RIGHT??!! HE DID DIE SOME DAYS LATER OF SEPSIS. EITHER STORY HAS THE SAME CONCLUSION, YOU HAVE TO DUE WHAT IS RIGHT FOR THE PATIENT, THERE HAVE BEEN REPORTS OF NEGLECT OF NURSING HOME PATIENTS DURING THE PANDEMIC! HEY NURSING HOME FOLKS DO BETTER FOR YOUR PATIENTS AND SHAME ON YOU FOR THE NEGLECT OF PAULINE BREENE. !!!
