Nursing Homes Sedate Patients https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/05/health/nursing-homes-dementia-antipsychotic-drugs/index.html
Can’t find where I stuffed it but Seniors are on 3 types of Phyche drugs at 1 time even if they don’t need them.
Your first posting to me is right on the money, tragically. Your second posting assesses the fear that leads to bad law.
Let me tell you, NO ONE in the facility in Scranton where I work is interested in turning residents into vegetables. I know that some staff at some facilities will happily add to the ease of their jobs by KO’ing confused residents with narcs. I strongly believe that this had happened to my dad occasionally in another nursing home. But as for the majority of professionals, the thought of doing this makes us sick. In medicine, as in all other endeavors, do-gooder liberals in ivory towers make laws which greatly diminish the quality of lives of a sizable minority of people they think they are helping.
