This artiocle is not fit to print on TPM, only MSM where folks like to read b.s. instead of real news.
Say what?
Total neglect in elderly care, and then falsifying records pertaining to that, is not “real news”? Nonsense. And that it happened to the father of a prominent person might also be a positive since this will get a lot of attention, and maybe some other places where this happens will be more on their toes now.
Charge nurse not actually an employee but only a contractor. Makes me think someone is trying to cut costs and deflect liability at the same time. And whether the best care in the world would have made a difference we’ll never know.
Unless you’ve had a loved in a nursing home, you have no idea how bad the care can be. The price usually doesn’t matter, either. I’m very sorry the McMaster family had to experience the death of a loved one. This deserves news reporting because it’s more common than you might think. Patients and families are very vulnerable and constant monitoring by family and friends is often the best prevention.
“This nurse ignored her job responsibilities, falsified paperwork, lied to her supervisors and neglected Mr. McMaster, who died.”
Well, I guess now we know who Trump will nominate to be the new head of the VA.
Very sad for this happening to his father.
He was heard after the fact because of his status however. Countless others are not. An epidemic of neglect and turning the other way because these folks are old feeble and without voices. Once you walk thru this with your elder loved one, and find not much recourse, you know what loneliness to power really is.
Huh, I didn’t realize that Russian bots had made it to TPM, Josh should be proud to be noticed.
It’s still a nurse, does not matter who they work for. Records were falsified. She is responsible, unless she was directed to falsify them. If she did this on her own, SHE is responsible, not her employer. She is an RN and needs to perform her duties as such.
Of course the nurse is responsible. Both the failure to perform a proper exam and falsifying the records are dastardly. AND her employer, by using a contract worker to supervise the floor overnight, raises red flags about its own behavior and intentions. It’s quite possible to have two rotten eggs here.
And if the employer is a rotten egg, putting this nurse in jail won’t do squat to keep patients from being mistreated and/or dying.
Are you this stupid in person?
Previous assertions here that the “blunt object” injury to the head had to mean a violent attack had gone unreported are obviously wrong.
then go start you own blog and leave already. what a tool of a comment.
this, exactly. i had a similar experience with my father in one of these care centers.
This is pretty much what I suspected. Not political foul play, but foul nonetheless.
ETA: I had commented on the original story that since there was an investigation into the event, there was likely a failure to treat or report. Then I was treated to a running argument in posts that I was wrong. Sadly, I was not.
If it was an “artiocle” I would agree with you.
This is an article that highlights a huge problem in our country.
I see no indication of that at this time. It’s not like they should have had an RN, but instead had just a caregiver, etc. An RN is an RN. The facility is private, and the people who they hired are private. Either way, it should be an RN doing that, and it was. At this point based on what we know the RN who falsified records is 100% at fault.
