Seriously folks, don’t know about you, but, I’ve had pneumonia and a host of worst crap that I don’t want to go into. But, NEVER have I stumbled like that.
She didn’t merely “stumble” it was a complete collapse — the aides did not merely help her balance or return to her own standing position, they dragged and shoved her into the van like a sack of potatoes.
What was incredibly revealing was that they did not pause even for a moment to help her onto her feet, to communicate with her or each other about what to do.... both aides (on each side of her) “knew” that they had to lift/shove/drag her into that van just as fast as possible. That is an incredible fact, if we reflect upon what it means for her condition and for what the aides around her are trying to do.
Any normal person would have been helped to stand and stabilize in place. Instead, their mission was to manhandle her into that van just as fast as possible, by any means necessary. Astonishing.
