Put on your eyeglasses.
The gave the patient a drug to give the poor resident the jab.
THAT’s ABUSE (I can think of a few other labels, too). It then killed the resident. I assure you that it’s happened before - i.e., the misuse of drugs - if for no other reason than THEIR OWN STATEMENTS that the facility is understaffed. Now there’s a death. I’d bet big money that there’s a LOT more we don’t know about in that facility alone.
CYA for the so-called whistleblowers. I stand firm in that statement.
Or perhaps you’re Ok with your mother/father being drugged to shut them the hell up and/or take medications they don’t want? Or WORSE??? /s
The workers in question wouldn’t have had the full medical knowledge or judgment or even authority to know what to do or who to say it to immediately, just their gut sense that something was wrong.
If it was my mother and father, I would thank the workers for letting me know then get a lawyer and sue the SOB’s that were really responsible!
I work as an RN currently and our aides really don’t try to interfere with medical decisions but sometimes they will question things. I listen to them though and investigate, just on the off chance they have caught onto something I have missed. Most of them are loathe to stick their necks out.
So I feel some leniency towards two aide workers like this...it was happening in real time and they weren’t sure what the rules are. Next time, if after proper instruction perhaps they will become real advocates!
