Have You Seen My Grandfather?
Have hospitals become the new prisons?
Montefiore Wakefield Hospital in the Bronx,
New York has allegedly refused to release Loredo Regular’s grandfather,
Julius, from confinement within its walls.
Loredo reported that the reasons given were vague and inconsistent with his grandfather’s health needs at that time.
But let’s start at the beginning…
Prior to May 15, 2015, Loredo’s grandfather
was a resident of The Latonia Nursing Home also in the Bronx, NY. The
nursing home had recently sent Julius to Montefiore for what Loredo
stated was described to him as a “lack of appetite.”
Loredo was concerned about his grandfather
and began to ask questions about his condition and the lack of
information presented to him.
Believing he had not received an appropriate response from the nursing home, Loredo complained to authorities:
Although he is assigned to a nursing home we were taking him to another hospital. I called and reported the nursing home because they weren’t addressing the issues with his medication and the bruxism it caused. His hands were swollen and they were evasive. When I touched his hands he would draw back in pain.
Bruxism is an uncontrollable grinding of
teeth. Loredo believes it was due to the medicine prescribed to his
grandfather for his dementia. But what he couldn’t believe was what
followed.
