[Vision2020] Something you need to know

[Donovan Arnold]

NOPE, except for grammar, you didn't get anything right in that paragraph Mr. Hansen.
 
First, I am not afraid of losing my job. There are plenty of jobs in the health care field, sometimes 1/2 the jobs in the area. Second, I am not withholding the medications, they don't exist, the pharmacy didn't manufacture them or send them, they are not in the medication cart for me to give. 
 
Third, I don't have the legal authority to assist with administering medication without medical orders. I am not a physician, and so I can not decide what medications can and cannot be given to someone. It is reckless endangerment and illegal for anyone other than a doctor, nurse practitioner, or PA to give medications or without their order. It is my job to see that a person in my care gets his or her medications and treatments correctly as ordered. If the HOLD medication order was not there, it would create a mountain of paperwork and legal lawsuits and questions as to why we didn't give a medication to a person in our care, which only is because the person didn't have insurance or cash to pay for it--not our unwillingness or neglect in providing competent care. And finally, I don't have anything illegal to report. It is perfectly legal in the US for a pharmacy to not manufacture and ship medications that a person has not paid for regardless
 of the doctor's prescription.
 
On the other issue, I don't think it is unethical for you to vote for a Republican. There are some Republicans worth a vote. It is unethical to swear in the court house and to the public as to being a Republican yourself when you are not one and know you are not one.  Would it not bother you if a bunch of Republicans registered as Democrats to vote in the Democratic Primary to oust Rep. Ringo for a more conservative candidate? It sure would me. You know why? Because it is wrong, that is why.

Let me see if I have this right . . .

I am being deceitful and critically crippling my integrity by voting Republican in this year's primary.  But you (Donovan Arnold) are sanctified for not reporting to proper authorities, or at least the media, that you have been instructed to withhold medications from residents of hospices, nursing homes, and assisted-care facilities BECAUSE YOU ARE AFRAID OF LOSING YOUR JOB ? ?

Here is my suggestion:  Grow an EFFING pair ! !

Jeesh!

I see it everyday at my job. We are told to HOLD medications for that reason. But sorry, HIPPA prevents me from sharing personal information about any person. Ask any person that assists in medication distribution at a nursing or assisted living facility. Or you can call a big pharmacy and ask a pharmacist if they ever cut medications off from people that have fallen behind on payments or their insurance agencies stop paying them.

>I just thought I would let you all know, if you didn't know already, that people living in nursing and assisted living homes are cut off from medications they need to live or have a normal life because they don't have the money to pay. It is really f**king barbaric. But are government allows it. To me there could be nothing Christian about a country that cuts off medications needed by little 90 year old ladies and men that costs only a few cents to manufacture. Don't count on having your needs met when you are old and unable to take care of yourself anymore if our health care system doesn't change drastically and soon. There is a good possibility that you will be treated as trash once your productive years are gone and you don't put crisp $100 bills in some greedy bastard's pockets.
