I only Follow a select group of #Geriatrics & #PALTC related sites, and I just reached 4,000 Followers. Let’s find ways to effectively use social media to educate on the health and wellbeing of older adults!

These are third-world tactics that also occurred all over the United States in our nation's nursing homes. Elderly were imprisoned. They were kept away from their families for months, and they did not receive proper health care. Thousands and thousands were left to die alone.

Because the Department of Health is culpable by failing to investigate and oversee these facilities as they are required to. They are as responsible for the suffering as those who neglect and abuse your sick and vulnerable citizens.

On Nov 6th, it will be 10 years since @MedBoardOfCA gave a public letter of reprimand to the doctor who killed my dad w/ Risperdal & other drugs, and falsified consent forms. That PLR will be taken down, her record wiped clean. I had been told it would be a harsher discipline.
