Holy shit, Steph. I would be livid.
Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Holy shit, Steph. I would be livid.
Particularly with stroke, there's a small window after symptoms start (I want to say 5 hours?) where administering tPA is extremely helpful, so literally every minute counts. But instead of getting him treatment they fucking put him in a wheelchair and took him to breakfast.
I don't want to jump immediately to yelling "LAWSUIT," but I kind of am. Because that is horrifically negligent.
I just heard from my EMT friend that the window is much larger than it used to be, but it's surely not days.
That is some bullshit "care" Steph.
I'm so sorry that happened to Tim's Dad Steph. I mean, one reason he is in a nursing home is so that someone will be there for when things like that happen and you don't have to worry about your parents' questionable judgement about when to go to the hospital. I mean, if the parents have questionable judgement (like mine).
yeah that is bullshit care.
I just don't understand how caregivers in a nursing home wouldn't know such obvious symptoms of a stroke. Strokes and heart attacks have to be relatively common events with an aged, infirm population.
That really seems negligent. I am so tangential to healthcare, but because if accreditation need to be able to articulate stroke symptoms and treatment on demand.
That's ...really negligent Steph. I'd be livid too. Best of luck with recovery and finding a different place for him to land that can take real care of him.
Steph that is awful. Love to you snd Tim and his Dad. I too would be screaming lawsuit.
58 degrees in my office this CB morning. Heating systems were supposed to be turned on 10/18, but it seems our boiler had other ideas.
Kinda hope it has given up the ghost and we all get sent home. Would necessitate major mechanical improvements in the building that are long overdue.
Brrrrr. Yes, you need to be sent home.
Continuing to send ~ma to Tim's dad and hoping he shows improvement today.
