Friday I was dumped on floor, rushed to ER, 6 stitches (to match 20 staples from last time), soft tissue tear in right (good) shoulder. I'm out of the forums for awhile. Now the Corporate Spin Doctor is involved making an interesting novel (fiction) out of it.

Debating if I should sue. This is the 6th dump to floor. Supposed to have 2 people transfer me. Each drop was one aide handling me during a transfer. Spin Doctor says I have had "balance problems" (Bovine Feces) but I was down in bed when the Med Aide, who had never ever done it before, it's not his job, turned me too violently and rolled me out on the floor.

Now that p's me off! No excuse for it. If I was your wife, daughter or kin so they'd have to listen to me, BELIEVE ME, I'd be marching in there giving them what for and letting them know in no uncertain terms that if they ever dare try to move you with one person again, I'd own them all both corporate and individually.
And their state governing and/or medical board would be getting a formal written complaint right now with copies sent to them so they know I mean business.
One time maybe, twice too much and repeatedly NO WAY.
I'll be praying for you too Don, but your family needs to get their attention that this will no longer be tolerated.

I know you'd rip 'em a new anal aperture. The "spin" is making it MY FAULT and records of previous incidents have "mysteriously" disappeared. They are experienced experts at covering their collective arse. When I came here 3 years ago they were hanging on to their VA certification by a thread. One more incident will cost them their VA certification which means Loonies, the only thing they seem to understand. I suspect that our "do nothing for fear it's wrong" Administrator can pocket the salary saved by running short-staffed all this time. Nurse Amy is working at another home. I may be able to transfer there. My wife has Agoraphobia, a serious anxiety disorder, so she can't do battle with their legal staff. It's a mess. Thanks for standing by me, Josie. I love you for that, little girl. On a lighter note; I landed on my Irish part. A linoleum covered cement floor don't stand a Chinaman's chance. I honestly don't think I'll survive another dumping.

Don, can you communicate that they must have two! It is plainly stated in SOP that 2 aides are mandatory on transfers. It NEVER HAPPENS. The hemorrhaging of personnel leaves new aides with a few hours of experience training even newer aides. In my 3 years I have seen literally hundreds of aides squirt through here like poop through a goose. The turnover is making quality of care suffer terribly while management is more concerned about wages and abandoning their oath of protecting and caring for we who pay their salary.

Don,
Other than worrying and praying for you, you need someone who could articulate what we all feel and expressed so clearly by Josie.
Do you have anyone at the VA you can share this story with? Or even a local charity group, one who really cares about patients and how they are being treated. I know I was with a charity awhile back who payed many visits to special ed classes and nursing homes, mostly unannounced. And I am sad to say we uncovered many incidents where patients and children were not being treated correctly . . . I alone was the whistle blower on at least 3 occasions where someone was fired because of this sort of abuse.
They are people who care out there, usually the smallest charity, the ones where no one makes a salary and just does the work for the good of the kids and seniors.
I wish you the best, but don't ever stop trying to get these issues corrected not only for your sake but for the betterment of those who are not as articulate and determined as you.
PS: If you like PM me the name of the facility and I'll be happy to write the VA, Congress or anyone else who might be able to help stop this stupidity!
Later,
|

Don that sucks. Hope you repair yourself quickly me old mate. Unfortunately, I don't mend as quickly or easily as I did when liberating German guesthouses during my 20s. Still room in me wee 'art fer good news: Our wee Lassie, Hayley Oliver, bumped herself out of 2nd place on UK's Hot Disk Charts (it only been done once before) so she has the #1 and #2 slots today! She emailed the news early this morning (wee hours London time). I hope that she and Josie Beck can become Budesses/Matesses soon.

Later, Danny, Josie, and dearest friends, I had thought that there is power in numbers. When I look at my wall literally covered in greeting cards from all over the civilized world (as well as Canada and Ireland) I can't help but believe that it has resulted in better treatment for me. They see my support group and fear messing with me. I strongly encourage everyone to write whom they wish as a protection for the less articulate patients in this nursing home. I am not vindictive by nature but this clown Administrator is way over his head and out of his league here. The elderly who he is sworn to protect and care for, those who pay his salary, are being ignored and neglected in favor of the Almighty budget. I emailed the Oklahoma State Eldercare Ombudsman on a separate issue (seeking support on the iPod Project) and, to date, haven't had the courtesy of a reply. That was over a month ago. Perhaps if we all demonstrated the strength in our numbers we could accomplish something for the benefit of all elderly loved ones. Thank you, Danny

I emailed the Oklahoma State Eldercare Ombudsman on a separate issue (seeking support on the iPod Project) and, to date, haven't had the courtesy of a reply. That was over a month ago. Emails won't cut it for important stuff Don. It has to be the old fashioned way on paper, by certified mail, return receipt requested and most importantly, to a specific person in that office if there's any way you can get a name. This nursing home situation is country wide and probably world wide. My younger sister took care of our mother about 10 years ago through this mess until she died. She was able to get her company to let her work part time and I provided her with some financial support to make up for it. She transferred our mother to 6 or 7 different homes over a 3 year period due to crap like this. I'm sure it's not just this, you probably have problems getting your meds correctly too. My mom was taking around 15 different meds that had to be coordinated as to time of day, certain combinations of food intake with some of them, liquids etc. My sister had all of that printed out and updated in her computer and watched the various homes like a friggin hawk and caught 90% of the staff messing up the meds schedule. There were a few good ones but like you said these people come and go all the time. Try to document this by writing stuff you see going wrong in a little notebook you can hide so nobody sees you doing it if that's possible. You can also do it in your computer and email the file to someone who can print it out for you and keep it somewhere safe. Documented notes like that with names, dates and time of day go a long way in front of a judge. You can start by writing out precisely what just happened while it's fresh in your memory including the previous incidents. Try to be as exact and concise as possible. Imagine how a prosecutor would use your notes with a witness... "Tell me Mr XX, Mr Gaynor says here in his notes dated August 23, 2012 that you personally did blah, blah. What do you have to say about that?" After you've compiled a damning bunch of these, then contact the state licensing boards and present them with copies of that stuff including the VA of course. Again, it has to be hard copies mailed certified to a specific person. Now getting off my high horse here, there's a potential other side to this. You live in a small area and all of these people at facilities all over town probably know each other. You could get tagged as a big time troublemaker and could suffer some consequences from that even if you get transferred to another facility but, oth they also know you're not someone to be trifled with either. I can't advise you on that, just pointing it out. Good luck man, and the fact that I will probably be in the same situation in the not too distant future does not make me a happy camper either. Bob

No, it's a for profit corporation but they require VA certification to get subsidized VA help. Losing VA cert means lost revenue and they do understand Loonies big time. I knew at one point exactly what I bring to the mix and it was quite substantial. About double Medicare.
I am requesting help from an 80 pound bundle of TNT at VA Muskogee who doesn't wait for stuff to happen, Alyssa MAKES STUFF HAPPENING!
Nurse Amy has started working at another nursing home. Perhaps VA could transfer me there.

Don, can you communicate that they must have two! Dan, it plainly states "Two" person transfers in the SOP and my personal files, the log that Aides use and must initial every shift. They seem to intentionally run short-handed, obviously to scrimp on wages, so I would be ignored while they look for help. We patients can't win. What about the vast majority of patients far less lucid than I am? They are totally at the mercy of inept aides. When CNAs make less than they could at Mickey D's while entrusted with human lives, that says it all!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
