#my best friend's dad was basically paralyzed a few months ago because of medical malpractice#he is now in a rehab facility#just found out he apparently now has a bedsore down the bone that became infected#because the staff was not turning him enough#like. i understand medical facilities like this are understaffed#but jesus fucking christ#and this is not an isolated incident they barely bother to feed him to the point that my best friend's mom#has to be there multiple times a day to make sure he eats#and my own mother was in a nearby facility just last year where she would hit the call button and no one would come for hours#she's also a type one diabetic who has had bariatric surgery and was supposed to be on a specific diet for all of the above and her kidneys#they never took any of that into account#there were also days no one bothered to come in and give her her insulin or check her blood sugar#understaffed or no these conditions are fucking deplorable#we need to start investing in our medical staff instead of overworking them to the point that patients are suffering like this#anyway i am very sad and angry right now#personal
