It’s possible she is taking thyroid medication - which has a great tendancy to make you dizzy.
Or .. it could be that she’s not taking any medication and her thyroid is causing her to feel dizzy or faint.
This event is very prevelant in nursing homes; and the reason why so many seniors fall.
There’s nothing “mental” about it. It’s a physical condition - and a thorough blood screening could have illuminated the problem.
It is possible, but not likely, given her 30 plus years of attention-seeking behavior and the diagnosis of mental health issues. If she is being seen by a mental health professional for bi-polar disorder, and taking prescribed anti-psychotic meds as would normally be the case, she would have blood tests every few months to be sure these meds were at proper levels, to keep her even and healthy. Any symptoms of fainting, or anything else not ordinary would be checked out. It truly sounds as if the woman is just plain mentally ill.
People in nursing homes are notoriously overmedicated to keep them caged and quiet-we have too many laws already, but there really should be one against drugging and confining non-violent people against their will, period. It is inhumane.
by some conservative (heh heh) math estimating she has called over 6,500 times
at 50% transport and $480 per trip, that’s over 1.5 million dollars JUST for the ambulance trips
