It is times like THIS - I am PROUD you are a NURSE!Beekissed said:I am advising her to call her state attorney general's office in the morning to file a report on a potential abuse situation. This has gone far enough.
It's times like this I am ashamed to be called a nurse.
Quail you make me PROUD to be your friend!!Quail_Antwerp said:I'm in Ohio! Does The Old Bat need an extra Back Bone to go with her?
from reading your description of how your dad is being treated.
This is what I mean! Glad to have friends like you as well 2dream!2dream said:
Want me to meet ya there?2dream said:
I have a feeling things would never be the same if this were to actually have to take place. But then, good friends don't just come bail you out of jail. They sit there with you and laugh about the time you had getting there.Quail_Antwerp said:
EXCELLENT ADVICE!!! I learned the same thing when advocating for my son (which, by the way they did the same thing to with meds) PLEASE DO THIS BEE...It will make a huge difference in thier future actions, and it will get them to ACT NOW before it is too latefreemotion said:I discovered something simple that gets results. Write a detailed letter, including both what has happened and what you want to happen, and send copies to the state's attorney, district attorney, whatever they have in that state, to the top person at the facility, the doctors involved, the AMA, and to anyone else in authority that you can think of. We call it a paper trail. Send all the letters registered, with a return receipt. Include in all the letters indication of who else is getting copies. Keep a copy for yourself and one for your mom.
They have to sign for these letters, they can't say they didn't know. They can't ignore it like they ignore your mother in person and on the phone. Have fun!
eta: Be sure to include short deadlines as to when you expect a reply and results!
