I know that I am a "new-be" here at this site, but I would definetly by a book, that you do, I love your photography and the thought that you put in your work, let me know when this happens, I would love to buy one from you!!!!!!!
hosing people down is not very "shower friendly" It really is interesting to know how different things were in the later years, and I am sure that nobody thought twice about how patients dignitiy were taken from them. No matter what anyone says, this is not a dignified way to bath a patient, no matter how hard they are to deal with. I have been pooped,spit, vomitted on and been hit( pretty bad too, I received stitches at one time.)and through all that I still could never imagine "hosing someone down" just a scary thought in my book!!!!
for??????, I am sorry that your family had to experience, such a loss and a terrible experience, none of us would every know, or want to know what you went through, but remember not all places like this are bad, and have the abuse and neglect that your mother had to endure here, your in my thoughts Renee
Johnny Mac: I know that this is no where close to what you have probably seen at this state hospital, but I used to work at a nursing home before I became a nurse, and I had such a deep connection to all of the residents that I cared for and spent time with. I was devistated at the lose that I endured and the neglect that I saw, it is heart breaking and rewarding all at the sametime, and I love that there is some one else out there that I can relate to and understand. Your comment almost brought tears to my eyes, and a smile to my heart it is wonderful to see that you cared so much for these people who needed you the most. have a great day Renee
again, I am impressed with this HUGE autoclave, unless I go work in a hospital, will I never work with such a large machine., WOW and again i say WOW8-
