An edited reprint of 'Care home': Random acts of Reality is an online journal written by a paramedic working for the London Ambulance Service I only tend to see the bad nursing homes. I'm not talking about nursing homes where the patients are abused in the traditional sense, but rather where they seem to have simply been... left. I went to one the other day, run by a large prestigious private healthcare company, it is clean and looks very pretty. But I'd rather die than spend my final days there. The patient was 90+ years. (Note the snippage here) Her room was clean, but was empty of anything personal - there were no pictures, no letters, no ornaments. Nothing. (More editing) I wondered what this woman had seen, what she had lived through. I could imagine her dancing in the 1930s, being married and having children, (More edits) raising her children while living through the war, maybe working as part of the Land Army. I thought about her husband, probably long dead, and the friends she had also probably outlived. It always depresses me to think that some people end up in homes like this, where the care is slipshod, and her life is now just an accumulation of numerous small acts of omission. Its then followed by a link to your main page. No actual review per-se. Actually, what concerns me about the editing is that it misses some of the key acts of negligence on the part of the home. Instead it only seems to be the lack of pictures which bothers you.

Welcome to Random Acts Of Reality, a Blog based in London, England, written by an E.M.T working for the London Ambulance Service. Also, number one search result for "Womble porn". All names have be changed to protect the guilty. This Blog was previously known as "Why I Hate Humanity" but the antipsychotic medication seems to have kicked in.
