There is no moral. Frankly, I had a nurse 36 hours a day for my mother as well. It's a mistake. My Father-in-law was a Vice Chairman of a hospital. We were told at Thanksgiving one year that he had six months to live. Because he was a hotshot they gave him the head Oncologist at the hospital. So, that cancer doctor told him that if he did this, and did that, and did the other thing....... Anyway. Six figures later he died in six months, They all suck. In the one case the nurse stole in the other case the doctor stole. When I was a kid, maybe about 1963, my father's insurance was revoked because he was diagnosed as having a bad heart. He was an All-Ireland Football player. He survived about three operations after that which would have killed a man with a weak heart. He died of natural causes in 1970. My mother paid cash for each operation. We were dead broke because the insurance companies blackballed him in 1963. Moral is? Don't trust doctors, don't trust insurance companies. Certainly don't trust a nurse who is at your house when you are not. You know, my mother was very poor, not like my mother-in-law. Yet, two years later I'm still fighting Fleet Bank because her Social Security was Direct Deposited and her checking account was looted. Fleet has been the biggest thorn in my side through all of this. I hope that bank has loans to Saddam Hussein.
