Well, you may be right, but to put the clock on someone’s family in this manner is cruel...
The family should be given as much time as needed to secure a place and adequate transport for the patient...
All sorts of things need to be considered, including logistics for family visits, location basically, and can the medical support be sustainable and the family not be under the same jeopardy as was in this facility...
Hospitals probably always had this right to have people removed from their facilities, but...
Since we are under a new government healthcare system, the patient is nothing more than a piece of meat with an expiration date...
Thank you Obama, I hope your death is as miserable and unremarkable as you want others to experience...You created this system...You should experience the full treatment...
Ten days is quite adequate. Most of the time you are given 24 hours to find a skilled nursing solution. In some cases, even less.
This is not a right to life issue. If the patient is no longer “treatable” there is no practical reason for them to be in an acute care facility.
My guess is that the family cannot find an affordable solution. I sympathize with them, but let’s not confuse the issues.
