It will be cool if this is an mRNA drug.

Increasing the death rate in memory care units would greatly reduce the expenditures on Medicare.

“Increasing the death rate in memory care units would greatly reduce the expenditures on Medicare.”

Not just memory care units, all old folks who are not in the physical shape of a 40 year old.

I notice you’re speaking of your mother in the past tense... let me guess, she suffered from “Neuroleptic Malignancy Syndrome.” Anybody curious about how these antipsychotics take the life of dementia patients, you should Google NMS and be able to recognize the symptoms. The VA Hospital pushed the antipsychotics on my husband. It took less than 6 weeks to end his life. The fact that the hospice doctor admitted that he “likely” succumbed to NMS was a shock. It was only after the fact that I was informed of this common outcome to the use of antipsychotics. I would not have consented to their use if I had known.

Yes, Mom’s gone. I’ll have to look up NMS. Thanks.
