is a book by William Réjault, aka Ron nurse:
Hard to read this book, especially since we can all face as patients when we are old.
I myself have a story to tell, back when I replaced the caregiver for a living, late in the third year of medical school: A day in the gerontology department we take a typical 70 year old who the reputation of not being comfortable. "Never mind, say they help the caregivers in the service, we will mater.
Then they went to see four while suffering in bed for him to sing a lullaby with any cute choruses. The guy, he was so excited that when he came inside threw a loaf in face!
It ended with a psychiatric confinement and me, little progress I had not much to say, the whole service would have supported aides guilty.
In fact, read it! What is more shocking is that child abuse is largely due to lack of resources: people's homes is managed like a business with profits for the Manager there. We are no longer in health, but in business.
My name is William, I am thirty-three years and I am a nurse in a beautiful retirement home, Fame in the heart of Paris. One morning this winter, at work, I was a victim of carbon monoxide poisoning. We can not speak of an accident. I almost died simply because the group that employs me is desperate to make savings. Even to risk the lives of its staff. Even to sacrifice the elderly who do live. Even leave room for abuse to win Euro 10. But I work in a retirement home the most expensive in Paris, among the first in the rankings.
In France, the abuse has become the daily lot of institutions for the elderly. Lack of manpower, lack of resources, the reasons are countless, but they all lead to one question: what place do we reserve for old age in our society and in our own lives?
What will we do with you, who will live much longer than your parents, your grandparents? One in two children born in 2009 will end centenary. Living Old, yes, but at what price?
