State of Nerves, of Confusion and Worry

Who Will It Be Today

That is the nightly & morning battle cry, not from me, but from a 93 year old lady, who is becoming frail.  Her strength is being zapped, by the constant state of worry, of stress. She doesn’t know who will arrive to help her, in the morning.

She worries that she places too much on me, so she would rather sit in soiled undergarments, than ask me to giver her a change.

No matter how much I tell her, she refuses to interrupt, to ask. I think partly it is because she knows her condition is going to get worse, so she’s saving up, for that.  She wants to spare me now, knowing that later she won’t be able to.

I have said it countless times, but this is what happens, when a company is about PROFITS, not about CARING.   While the head of BCS pulls down A QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR, VIHA CHAIRMEN PULLS DOWN A HALF MILLION A YEAR, YET IT IS THE PEOPLE THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR, WHO PAY THE ULTIMATE PRICE.

BCS needs to have its contract revoked.

VIHA needs to begin to be accountable, and hold all who enter into our homes, accountable. They NEED to step up, and actively monitor the personnel being hired, being sent to care for our Seniors.

These are our Mothers, our Fathers, surely we aren’t going to abandon them, simply because it is inconvenient, or distasteful.   THEY ARE OLD, NOT DISPOSABLE.

Need to Know

gay talk on politicsOur Provincial Government is on the hot seat, for the lack of security when it comes to Patient Files.  Seems that sensitive files were somehow, misplaced, misused, and well, just poorly handled, which I guess is a political thing, for now. 

And yet, when people are being sent into our homes, they come ill prepared simply because no one is telling them why they are being sent. There is a dirth of information being given to them, though they can probably find all they need to know, on Google. Makes no sense, really. 

Yet Carol James, Stephen Harper continue to cry about being ACCOUNTABLE, but I have to wonder, to whom?  It seems to me, that it isn’t about being accountable to us, the people, but to their SPECIAL INTEREST SPONSORS.   Somehow, that just seems wrong to me. 

However, when it comes to helping people, it just seems today that our society is not about the individual, but more about corporate profits, about the bottom line. Yet many of the agencies hired to provide health services, are NON PROFIT.  Now I don’t know, but to me, non profit means that they don’t make a profit, though I would also assume it means they don’t lose money.  That they still have to meet their expenses, and maybe have a bit left over, as a reserve.

And yet these Non Profit Agencies are buying up other companies, right, left, and center, somehow. 

Somehow, we have lost sight of the true purpose of health care. It isn’t about making money, least it wasn’t when I was growing up. Yet today, it is.  That says a lot, about our society, I think, and worse, about us as human beings.
