Re: CDC Warning / Warning Regarding Children's Health

[Guest guest]

Major contributor to warnings like this aimed at

children and not adults: The younger the victim,

the more money possible in a lawsuit.

Lots of things aimed at children due to this

reason. Adults can get sick, but it is harder to

prove it isn't due to something else or age

related. Watch out when you get to over 60. I

took care of my greataunt. Everything was blown

off due to her age, even very sudden changes in

her health. You will just get a 'feel good' pill

then, even if it is likely to make you sicker in

the long run. You are on your own then and many

times way before that.

Lawyer told me due to my greataunt's age there

wasn't any use in a lawsuit regarding neglect or

wrong diagnosis that resulted in damage to her

health even major damage because monetary rewards

are based on the impact of wrong treatment,

neglect had on shortening her life expectancy and

she had already lived well past that. This is

one reason WHY nursing homes are so very bad, no

lawsuits likely due to age of residents, not to

mention noone, including their families listen to

them anymore...just my own observations from

being there. Also many residents have such poor

memories by the time they get there that they

<*CANNOT*> report abuse or neglect themselves.

It's very sad.

Make plans to avoid them if possible for yourself

and your loved ones. Good thing to do is find a

home that you can live in and maintain even when

in not good health, like on first floor or

elevator building, handicapped accessible. All

the steps in my greataunt's house made keeping

her at home impossible and due to her extreme

mental confusion (but otherwise healthy

physically), she could not function in someone

else's home if left by herself. Couldn't

remember how to operate things herself, etc.
