It’s so upsetting when, at the moment you most need help, you can’t get what is needed.

He was in a terrible state due to dementia which had caused him to become violent. The police nor the ambulance would not transport him to the hospital and it was clearly unsafe for her to do so. In the end, she was able to get him transported and checked into the ER, but then no one would take him to care for him. So awful.Sally Wesselyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470453773515491625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2374808830322685957.post-61372290238182851702019-05-18T05:52:20.898-06:002019-05-18T05:52:20.898-06:00OMG.

I learnt to relax and say there was nothing I could have done, after something really challenging happened. It is most definitely not right ... but it is the way it is - we just need to do what we can in advance to mitigate things as best we can. All the best for a peaceful weekend - with thoughts ...

It is never easy and some staff can be cruel with their indifference. I have had too many experiences with both my parents and my husband that have caused me so much anxiety that I almost ended up a patient also.
