They talked about a guy who was in a nursing home for 22 years, couldn't hardly see and had no identification information on him (I suppose his meds had his name, but no ID, Birth Certificate and such) but they said that leaves him no way to get a job or housing.
How the fuck would someone who couldn't work for the last 22 years suddenly be able to get a job? If his insurance stopped paying and that's why they kicked him it isn't like someone can just go rent a place to live either, they need proof of income, which he wouldn't ever be able to get. Well and truly fucked out system is
Oh the main story for this article is about a woman named "Patient #83" who was of unknown age, diabetic, broken ankle, and dementia.
“The staff member [said] Resident #83 was unclear of what was going on, scared, and not sure who dropped her off there,”
She's missing according to the article. Wandered off somewhere.
Don't forget they kicked her out because she was drinking a beer. A grown ass woman in what is effectively her home had a beer, the horror.
And let's just assume it's okay for that to be against the rules, she has dementia. She's going to break the rules.
How did she get the beer? Sounds like bullshit
Exactly what I was wondering. If she’s unable to travel on her own, then either a guest or an employee got her that beer. Instead of investigating and taking appropriate measures against whoever provided her with contraband, they kicked her out? Absolutely absurd.
That beer didn’t materialize on its own. If someone’s supplying beer to residents, that sounds like an issue worth looking into.
Not to mention she has dementia! Even if she somehow got it on her own, she suffers from, "I don't know what's going on right now!" So how is she supposed to follow the rules?
Holy fuck that’s sad
Thats my retirement plan!
Yours too, if youve stopped lying to yourself.
"Missing", hmm? I wonder what on earth could have possibly happened.
Im sure its fine and i dont need to think about it anymore.
