Nurse Cecily! Nurse Anita! (at Kiley snake pit)

Nurses are "helping professionals"--right? But are they supposed to help patients, or just their institutions?

These two supposed "nurses" (Cecily and Anita) recently violated a long-prescribed, critical treatment protocol for a developmentally disabled resident. They substituted a cup with some Dr. Pepper poured into it, for a freshly opened can of Dr. Pepper, to facilitate the resident's taking his anti-seizure medication.

Nurse Anita offered an excuse for this: she had been told that, "They (perhaps meaning the evil psychiatrist Dr. Cosgrove, or Tanika Hankerson who runs the Kiley snake pit, or some other perpetrator) want the amount of Dr. Pepper given to this resident to be reduced." In other words state bureaucrats are second guessing the doctor in charge, based on some agenda of their own. 

Patients and their doctors and guardians are never told who the particular state bureaucrats are. (Sincere apologies to the evil Dr. Cosgrove and Tanika Hankerson, in case they were not involved this time!) The bureaucrats always remain nameless for their protection, no matter what harm they cause to unprotected patients in the shameful pursuit of immunity, convenience, or profit. Nobody ever knows who said what on what authority... bad things just happen all by themselves!

Nurse Anita might know who told her to give this particular patient Dr. Pepper poured into a cup instead of following the prescribed protocol. But under deposition, she'll likely answer with a standard, "I do not recall at this time." She'll certainly deny any bad intent. 

But if the patient has a seizure and dies because he was unable to take his medication, somebody will eventually pay. 

The state snake pit, as irreconcilable with reality as it may seem, is supposed to help people, not kill them.

  1. I will pray for you - That perhaps one day you receive much-needed help for these delusions. I will also pray that one day you do not require the aid of a caring nurse whom you've slandered over a can of Dr. Pepper. You, sir, are the only snake associated with Kiley. The Evil Maureen's little puppet, with not a single thought of his own; just a stage to broadcast the nonsensical rants of a mentally-ill man.

  2. I am publishing your comment because it is well written, although quite mistaken. I will be happy to clear up any mistake I have made in the article, and apologize for any "slander over a can of Dr. Pepper." This is my standard promise to anyone who feels as you seem to feel about anything I ever write. But I rarely, if ever, have been taken up on that promise, because people are quite unwilling to talk to me when they have too much to hide.

    But thank you for your prayers. If I knew who you were (Anonymous) I'd pray for you, too.But I presume you're too afraid to say.

  3. And I might add, just incidentally... I am well into the last year of my first 3/4 of a century. If I haven't yet needed the "help for these delusions" or the "care" you imagine, well maybe that's not just luck. You may need my prayers more than I need yours.
