This lawyer driven bs is happening from coast to coast.
A woman, we know, had a mother in a NJ Nursing home, the woman lives on the west coast. She got notified that her mother was transferred to a hospital with pneumonia. The woman was told not to come there as she could not see her mother. Her mother was sent back to the nursing home after a couple of days. She was sent back to the nursing home and was put on Oxygen and inject able narcotics. She died after a few days. He daughter was told not to come back as her mother had signed a cremation order. Supposedly, there would be services in May, none yet. Supposedly, her mother had a Covid~19 diagnosis.
A long time church friend was in a high end west coast retirement home and on the care unit with Parkinson’s. On 14 March, his wife, son and daughter were told they could not see him. He died a couple of weeks ago by himself. His wife made sure that he did not have a CV-19 diagnosis.
Another church retiree in his early nineties in the same retirement home was not sick, however, he could not have any live contact with any friends at the senior home or visitors. He told a church caller, that he was dying of boredom and loneliness. He died in a few days after being contacted. He was not ill.
A friend had an emergency spinal cord surgery. He was in the hospital for 5 days and couldn’t see his family. His wife picked him up in the parking circle. She couldn’t come into see him during the 5 days. A couple of days latter, he had to have an emergency gall bladder OR.
Again, his wife dropped him off at the ER circle drive and didn’t see him for another 5 days. Again, she picked him up in the parking circle.
A friend had a knee replacement cancelled in late March. Last week they had his wife drop him off in a drop off area.
They checked his temp and admitted him. His wife said good bye in the parking lot.
He had a successful operation and still had to spend one night in the hospital. He was discharged the next day at about noon. His wife still could not come into the hospital.
They rolled him out in a wheel chair and loaded him into her car. She is a recently retired same day care RN at that hospital. She asked the surgeon, a friend, why all the drama and not sending her husband home the first night. The doc is known as the champion same day Ortho surgeon. He just dodged her question.
Just following orders
I am saddened there is not more media coverage of these issues. Nursing home residents should be allowed visits from family members. This is incredibly cruel otherwise. Precautions could be taken. Even our Governor Abbot seems to turn a blind eye to the cruelty of his ban on visitation. It is high time this ends.
