I really hope that my sharing this story will open some doors for honest PUBLIC input. I have researched a LOT and find very little input from consumers, it seems most are driven (and paid for) by insurance companies and/or the government. I'm sure it's not all bad, but senior healthcare could certainly could use some improvement.<br /><br />Yes, our parents indeed need love and support. I presume we will too one day.......<br /><br />I appreciate you taking the time to read my post. I hope you have a little more time to read the earlier posts to fully digest the problems we have encountered.<br /><br />Thank you for your comment!healthcare hostageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08287109617200568023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3367313881309638457.post-60301028432268406822013-07-24T22:50:49.497-06:002013-07-24T22:50:49.497-06:00It is awful and ridiculous, I agree.

They weren't the most positive but I remind myself of what positive I can get from them. Thank you for sharing your heart and reminding me how much our parents need love and support, especially during difficult times such as these.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17697155902371350453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3367313881309638457.post-63457387923043280182013-07-24T22:21:25.745-06:002013-07-24T22:21:25.745-06:00Oh my gosh.

By the time I realized how bad it was, things were happening so fast that I could barely write my own name I was so tired! I am hopeful that if enough people read and share this blog, maybe others will be more willing to talk about their own experiences and maybe our collective voices will be heard.<br /><br />I really am aware of how lucky I am to have so much family support. I also am very aware that there are others out there who aren't so lucky and I can't imagine it.<br /><br />Thank you so much for taking time to read my post and thank you for your comment and kinds words!healthcare hostageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08287109617200568023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3367313881309638457.post-20497189450564103462013-07-24T12:31:10.257-06:002013-07-24T12:31:10.257-06:00You should compile a complete log of your mother&#...You should compile a complete log of your mother's medical appointments, hospital stays, and other medical treatments and events, including what was said and what was done, and by whom, and send it to every clinic in the country as an example of how NOT to treat a patient. <br /><br />I'm very glad for your sake that your family is supportive toward your efforts to care for your mom, because this would be an impossible journey without that support.
