Patient killed
I work at a home care company, and we had a client in Holby Hills in Los Angeles that was worth nearly 100 hundred million $. Her daughter showed up one day and said she couldn’t see her mother like this and it was time to “put her to sleep “. The primary physician wrote a referral for hospice, and a hospice company showed up a few days later. When I raised an alarm because the patient had no outstanding conditions that caused pain or would likely lead to death in the near future and was still feeding her herself and doing her own hair, we were fired. Some of my coworkers were reportedly paid a undisclosed amount of money as part of a nondisclosure agreement, one of which wrote a handwritten testimonial before going silent. The owner of my company was visited by a very scary guy at his front door allegedly related to the trustee for the client. I know there’s no statute of limitations on murder, and could anyone suggest how to approach this because I still can’t sleep? The client was a SAINT. SHE WAS SO KIND AND HELPED SO MANY PEOPLE. She didn’t deserve to die this way. I saved all of the documents from the binder in the house as evidence. The boss saved the Ring video of the guy who visited his front door. Medicare could not take action, the medical board looked into the primary care physician because there was a death but the referral wasn’t enough to do anything and the hospice company seems to be owned by a dozen or more local physicians and wouldn’t respond to any calls or stop their actions. The client in her 90s was screaming for help for the few days before we got fired and her daughter was shoving suppositories with Valium while they were giving her Haldol every moment she woke up, and I understand it took her almost 2 weeks to die. Her only daughter who orchestrated this moved and sold the home shortly thereafter, and I understand the granddaughter and grandson both received beautiful homes later that year. An obituary wasn’t published for more than six months. The grandson absolutely was not involved and in my opinion is a saint, but the granddaughter was there helping her mother administer hospice. Feels good to get this off my chest, and I just hope the Redditors out there have ideas for how to bring justice to this poor woman’s ordeal at the end of a wonderful life.
