Recently, I watched – almost helplessly – systemic, group protected negligence (cover ups) at a particular POD in a West coast VA hospital.
A lawsuit is coming for sure but in the meantime….how many more patients will be given little food upon admittance to the facility,
left to do without being bathed unless family or friends help out,
be harassed,
intimidated (into silence),
told to participate in a health care treatment program when there has been an incomplete diagnosis,
injured by mishandling (RN claimed they were not trained to handle the particular situation),
wrongly medicated because the same RN has her own agenda since she had to answer for failing to do her job duties (what she is paid to do) and flat out lied about a patient to the EMR team doctor, which resulted in a do-not-administer medication being injected, which – again – caused an allergic reaction that progressed to convulsions and seizures – with Benadryl being denied for over an hour.
The patient – a SCI patient has regressed to having urinary problems that had been overcome 4 weeks prior and now has a high level of mistrust and fear of the medical environment…even when stating there are several who are quite competent and do their jobs well.

Many of the elevator door sensors are a joke. The doors slam shut without sensing anything is between them. That is exactly what happened to the above mentioned SCI patient.

There are present day stories being relayed by other patients that mirror those found online.
They have shared their experiences of poor care but some choose not to push the matter in fear of receiving even worse treatment.

Records are non-existent regarding reported incidents involving a certain few.

Yes, there are some absolutely wonderful and compassionate medical staff…but…those who are guilty of negligence and abuse and are not being forced to answer for the wrongs that they have done, overshadow the positive qualities of those who do the job well.
Accountability is sketchy at best.

With all that I have seen at this government run medical facility I can’t help but wonder if this is what Obama Care will look like….

Ever hear that saying”if you deal with a shitty diaper that weighs less than a pound you got a baby, if you deal with a shitty diaper that weighs five pounds you got a problem”
