E-raamat: I Mean, There's Somethin' Seriously Wrong!: The Destruction of the Long-Term Health-Care Industry in the United States

The book itself is all about such inhuman indignities both as a“resident”of the long-term care facility as well as a “guest” at a middleschool cafeteria when we 343 aged, frail, individuals were ejectedfrom a church where we were initially bussed from the institution,“Miracle Center” and left to suffocate in a sealed bus container in theparking lot of the church. Physical intolerable cruelty was magnifiedby endless instances of “nursing personnel” yelling and talking downto the helpless,elderly patients who were denied food, water, sleep,and prescribed medication and doctor mandated care.My background as a Biology major at college and my employmentat a local hospital in the northeast gave me a unique perspectiveon overall patient care. But nothing remotely prepared me for theabsolutely inhuman treatment that we “residents” received from awide variety of medical “professionals” during my 4-month residenceat the “Miracle Center’ institution, nor the abomination of a totallybungled, criminally negligent transport between the “skilled” nursingfacility, the unsanctioned church destination, and finally, what we allcalled the “cafeteria-from-hell” where we were forced to ride out thebrunt of the devastation from the hurricane. As traumatic as all of thetransportation experiences; before, during and after the hurricane sodisgustingly were, that treatment we all received in our facility roomswas even more inhumane and tragic.I made every effort to report these flagrant abuses of basic humanindecency to the proper state medical authorities, but they as well asthe institution itself always seemed to be hell-bent on covering up,dismissing. or otherwise denying that such atrocities even took place.I desperately reach out to readers from all walks of life to spread the wordabout the dismaying reality of what truly happens daily and incessantlyin these “butcher shops” all across the United States of America and,indeed, around the world. You’re hearing this from someone right inthe thick of this obscene and criminal nightmare from hell with thehope that someone, somewhere, is in a position to stop it before moreinnocent elderly lives are lost!
