we got called to a nursing home for a Pt that was refusing to eat, we showed up on scene and I asked the charge nurse what was going on, she said " mr. XXXX refuses to eat, I had the Aide bath him, and dress him,, and try to feed him for the past 3 meals and he is refusing to eat" so we went back to the room and there was a nurses aide in the room shoving some appleasuce down his throat,......saying " see.. he just wont eat" .. The poor guy was black and green from levidity.. and the only reason he was upright in the wheel chair was from rigimortis.. so he had to be Assuming room temp. for quite awhile.
how dumb can you be not to realize that a Pt is DEAD. and still shower and try to feed them for 12 hours...
when I get that old I would be better off in a box somwhere floating down the river than end up in a nursing home in my city
