  1. He ought to be talking to the consultant pharmacists. I worked as one for 10 years saw alot maily due to very short staff. Im working LTC but only in house not out in the field. I actually once got reprimanded for writing up a facility negatively on med passes and med orders I was told no negative write ups because it just raises the red flag with state board of health. After that I would do a second write up to the administrator and DON pointing out problems while being made to turn in a slightly more positive report. Yes I felt somewhat threatened with my job from because I hadnt been out in fhe field long. I later figured how to write up problems hiding them In with positives. If any of my famliy were to go into a home, I will be watching them all like a hawk.

  2. Unbelievablely, I came across a nursing home ran by nuns than drugged the entire clientele with orange juice spiked with halperidol. The patients- some of them could tell- refused. While involuntary psychotropic drugs are unethical, I for one would not want a relative with akathisia, tardive dyskinesia and psuedoparkinsonism.
