  1. Yes, to shut them up.

    If you have a relative in care, you -better- go visit them every freaking week at least, and make sure everybody who works there knows who you are. In a -good- way, I might add.

    Because otherwise Dear Relative will end up Dearly Departed Relative and you’ll never know what happened.

    1. Shutting them up doesn’t free up money and resources.

      Based on how these drugs screw with people, I am guessing they found out that giving them to people in a hopeless situation like long term care made them more willing to consider MAID.

      1. “Shutting them up doesn’t free up money and resources.”

        Demented grandma is a constant pain to deal with. Always walking around, getting into things, yammering, screwing up your nursing schedules. You can’t yell at her, hit her or tie her up. But you really, really want to.

        So you give grandma a hit of Ativan at the start of shift and she sits in the corner, nice and quiet. So much cheaper, so much easier.

        1 in 4 is an under-count. Probably closer to 1 in three. Your demented grandma’s brain is not improving from the chill pills, I can tell you that.

        And that’s why you show up at the old folks home randomly. Odd times, odd days. So you can catch them when they slip grandma a chill pill. Because if they feel confident nobody will catch them at it, they will.

  3. Drug them up.
    Zombify them.
    Stupefy them.
    “See that circle? Just fill that in with your pencil darling, next to the Liberal name. That’s a GOOD girl. You’ll get an extra helping of jello tonight!”

    1. The speaking was about the medical abuse of long-term care patients, but you just had to butt in to promote some lousy music. Typical brainfart Kenji.

      1. Ya know what we also DID NOT do in 1971? We didn’t have “conservative Christians” defend teaching our 11yo boys … in graphic detail … how to sukk their boyfriend’s cawks in public schools. Nope. And we were a far better world for it. Sadly … gay “Christians” in 2026 believe in abusing our boys.

        Thanks for reminding me.

          1. The LGBTQueers who pretend to practice Christ’s teachings … were promised a special place in HELL for perverting the Word and the Order of God. So, really … it is the Bible and God that’s talking the “trash”.

            Keep it up Lupus stalker/hater … keep reminding everyone who you are

  6. I suspect most of that one in four were the ones tossed into the cheapest nursing home in the area when the daughter-in-law got sick of waiting for her payday. DIL told the staff the old fool was “suffering from dementia” and to ignore any accusations that DIL sent her husband’s parents there so she could fiddle them out of the house.

    Why yes, most will die of polite euphemisms for a broken heart within a year. Not a bug. A feature.

    If you actually want your spouse’s parents to live long, happy lives, you ask them to move in with you or arrange for in-home care. Nursing homes are the preferred option when the in-laws don’t die fast enough. In 2026 few daughters-in-law armed with no more than an MRS degree have the knowledge or the connections to poison the old fools and not have the poisoning detected or DIL be the prime suspect when it is.

    1. “I suspect most of that one in four were the ones tossed into the cheapest nursing home in the area…”

      Money doesn’t make much of a difference, and it is more than 25%. No chicanery necessary either. This is just how it is done these days.

      More efficient, you know. Cost containment. Very buzzword, much science.

  8. had a titch of this imm my past.
    hamilton psych winter 2000-1 prescribed zyprexa, promptly packed on 25 pounds, asked for the data sheet naturally REFUSED so l REFUSED to take it. labelled ‘uncooperative narcissist’ with NO explanation.
    abt 4-5 years later a $700,000,000 successful lawsuit for causing diabetes. lm thinkin hmmm, dodged an artillery shell that time. my opinion of med community never recovered.
    p.s the building was smashed to pcs, l conclude Ms Karma will target even inanimate objeccts involved in abuses directed at me.
    p.s. by abt 2015 l had shoughed off the excess weight. (l remember making insuting remarks about the fatso staff members heh heh heh. )

    1. “…labelled ‘uncooperative narcissist’ with NO explanation.”

      Well, that’s evidence based medicine. The evidence writes the guidelines, the doctor follows the guidelines, and the patient does what he’s told. Because Science, right?

      So if you don’t do what you’re told, that’s clearly a major mental malfunction, noted in the chart. No explanation needed. Because how DARE you think you know better than some sweaty resident running on ten coffees and no sleep?

      Yep, McMaster University medical center. Got stiched up there once in my reckless youth. The place kinda went downhill over the years since then. Steeply.

  9. The Boomers were so quick to throw their parents into “retirement homes” now it’s come full circle. And they’re surprised by the poor treatment? They literally wrote the manual.

      1. Yes. Seriously Phantom. I watched as a Gen X’er as both Grandparents were warehoused when they became a bother. I was young but just old enough to understand the talk among my parents and aunts etc. I learned from that and as the youngest and only one out of 3 kids ( 2 late Boomers), cared for both of my parents in my home at the end of their life.

  10. Just finished reading this book about all the harms caused by Johnson and Johnson in their consumer products and their drug lines. Highly,highly recommend. It is hard to put down The weak link in the book is the chapter on the Covid vaccine. Not sure that a link would work but is called – No More Tears:The Dark Secrets of Johnson and Johnson by Gardiner Harris.
    Not sure how it works in Canada ,but in the US J and J used a kickback scheme to get heavy use of their anti-psychotic Risperdahl in the nursing homes (among other expensive drugs).

    1. There’s a miniseries called Painkiller (starring Matthew Broderick if that’s important).
      It’s about Perdue, the Sacklers, and Oxycontin, and the high-handed things they did to push Oxy onto everyone they could. Definitely worth a watch.
