People get old, and they often have people help take care of them. You can blame it on the rain, or you can blame it on the alcohol, but be very careful tread with the ER. This new resentment towards the elders from primarily kids and young adults has conversely become a spilled cliché for the ER, fir life in general. When you go to the ER as an elder you are expected to be treated with the gloves off not with the gloves on…
So the story goes, as it goes… An elderly person has a relatively newer injury and is already disabled from pain, so he accidentally takes one more or has an adverse reaction this particular time. The caretakers try to make sure the man gets his medications especially the psych meds, blood pressure (of course), blood thinner and blood sugar suppressor. They gain more concern as it goes into the night, especially concern for a kind of drowsy symptoms that may never wake up again. …so they go to the ER and as the effects of the medication wears off, the person is still a little of sorts. A nurse dude specifically indicates that the person was given their medication through IV. The caretakers sit and wonder and watches as the blood pressure soars to 200. They watch the oxygen levels as he sleep and tell the nurse that the hiccup in the oxygen as it doesnt seem like she is getting oxygen when she sleeps (properly), like something studied for some time prior. The PA keeps getting lippy and indicating that she has dementia, and the caretaker tells him to stop and listen and stop focusing on placing her as having dementia. He doesn’t listen and keeps going on about UTI’s and strokes, dude was like a cop dressed in scrubs definitely not from “Different Strokes.” He kept telling dude that he doesn’t have dementia bro, that you can’t wake her up in a dead sleep and ask her 50 questions. He made her jump and her flush face (from the blood pressure hitting the roof) almost had a heart attack and a stroke. She said “she felt like she was getting incarcerated.” Dude comes back and says that “we need to keep her for observation and speak with the neuropsychologist.” He says he never gave her her medication, and the caretaker replies, “Yo dude went out of his way to say he did, and even put something into her IV as he said he was administering into her IV.” We didn’t come her for this, we came here to help her to take her medications that she needs.” We came her for help.” Dude says now five hours later, let’s go over her meds and we can give her to now.” Caretaker like “we aren’t leaving her with you after you intentionally deceived us, and now want to revisit her medications.” He quickly says well you can sign her on an AMA, like it just a normal thing there. AMA are only supposed to be on as needed basis, not a daily protocol. Why don’t he put his name on an AMA? “The caretaker definitely we want to get her out of her now.” The caretaker goes and spokes a cig and returns and then they won’t let him back in. “Yo that my mom, she served the entire village for 15 years, and you want to treat her like a criminal.” He walks back out, and they come over and let him in. So this dumb dude and his crappy back and forth nurse (did go light on the write-up) wrote up about some transfer thing which was never mentioned, and needed to see her doctor. The doctor says go neuro go neuro and then we in for a full range of tests and some other problems are created. So this poor elderly lady just wanted to see memory problems and it turns into the inquisition. You can attempt to correlate consistencies with age groups and tendencies, but you can never delineate diver licenses. Instead of focusing on all the fast bummy drivers, who are the real problem, you want to limit the choices of the elderly, for insurance companies like one that directly stole my idea for #driversafetyrewardsprogram or #gooddriverrewardsprogram. You gotta be kidding me. That was directly my idea.
you cannot scale of system of privacy evading questions, that when go unanswered pry moreso, when people get older they need a must of lesser questions and tests and quizzes! Focus on the real problem which is the majority and do something about that. This isn’t Florida where elder driving could be a concern. This is NY! All those people driving 50 in the 30 and driving fast by obstacles are the problem, or people keep driving in the middle of the road, not the elderly just trying to get from A to B (and in this case observed and responsible with the caretakers). Correlations are a good sample, but cannot be driven into actions. especially of some kind of consequence. For that it is better to not go there in the first place.
