There is intense pressure for homes to comply - fears of non-compliance are accurately described in Peter's story. <br /><br />The story is a compilation of our own experiences and those reported to us by fellow nurses/managers in our sister homes across the country.<br /><br />Luckily, our home is not part of a major national group (who have to follow head office directives) and mananagers are allowed autonomy.<br /><br />I think the problem lies with the widely held belief that care homes are "profit led hell holes where residents are left to stew in their own body fluids" and PCTs and GPs see themselves as protecting the interests of the residents.<br /><br />They fail to see what is actually happening.<br /><br />AnnahyperCRYPTICalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11967085628384237933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139696084392272622.post-79560110828710830072010-09-18T10:34:14.160+01:002010-09-18T10:34:14.160+01:00“Niceness,” knowledge, and intelligence are no saf...“Niceness,” knowledge, and intelligence are no safeguard when it comes to an individual’s capacity to “creep.” Dr Nice should have known he might have been doing harm.<br /><br />In my view it should always be the patient who brings up the subject of an ADRT without any prompting whatsoever. It should not be assumed that “nice” people have not unknowingly crept into using techniques of subliminal persuasion.<br /><br />Creep then might take the following course<br /><br />“Poor Peter, his life is not worth living…….”<br /><br />Or for those who favour the community over the individual:<br /><br />“Poor Peter, he is miserable and is no longer contributing to society……..”<br /><br />They’ll say:<br /><br />“Don’t be ridiculous. The ADRT was never intended for this purpose.”<br /><br />Of course it wasn’t………<br /><br />“It is all about giving the patient “Choice.”<br /><br />Of course it is…….Witch Doctorhttp://witchdoctor.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139696084392272622.post-49026157689035683162010-09-18T08:09:22.304+01:002010-09-18T08:09:22.304+01:00Superb post.Superb post.Dr Nohttp://www.badmed.netnoreply@blogger.com
