Let me tell you his story

Feeding tube because he was malnourished 

Harry Blizzard is a sixty-two year old man who has had a hard life from the beginning. He is not perfect but then again who is right he was a homeless man that lived on the streets until he had a stroke four years ago which left him partially paralyzed  on one side and with slight case of dementia . He was placed in a nursing home called Manor Care to receive after hospital care when the nursing home said they could not reach his family members (which was a lie) he became a ward of the state and they were now responsible for his well being after a time he was sent to another Manor Care Facility this one in Towson Maryland it was Manor Care Ruxton where he was placed in a locked unit so he could not leave after a few years he became less mobile and was moved to a normal floor where he then was neglected. This man is my Uncle and I had searched for him for fifteen years and saw him for the first time on September 7, 2013  and it was one of the happiest days in my life. I did not realize how sick he was because I had not seen him in years, if I had known I would have been all over them to move him right then and there to the hospital while there I asked about how he was doing and they said oh he is fine and that there was nothing really wrong with him they insisted that he had been up and walking three weeks before I saw him. On September 17 I get a phone call that my uncle had a skin tear on his right clavicle and that he was not feeling well later that same day they called and told me the doctor ordered test to see if anything was going on and I heard nothing else. At nine-thirty that night I get a phone call from the hospital my uncle had been admitted and he was in bad shape and I needed to come down because he might not make it. I talk to the doctors and learn not only was my uncle sick he was deathly ill but not because he had the flu or a cold, or because he was having ill side effects from his other health problems but because he had an infection sepsis to be exact, he was dehydrated and had sores on his body. One of the sores happen to be the outline of a bedpan on his bottom. These people left this poor man on a bedpan possibly for days how cruel can you get. After more in-depth conversations with multiple doctors it was explained to me that he had been severely neglected he was malnourished and he was also in multiple organ failure. This is when I also learned his heart was damaged to the point that resuscitation should not be an option because people as bad off as him rarely recover. Today he is in Gilchrist Hospice Center.

I believe that something needs to be done to end things like this from happening to other people who are unable to speak for themselves and I believe my uncle Harry Blizzard deserves justice for what was done to him when he was unable to care for his-self. If you agree with me then speak up and let anyone who will listen know that this is unacceptable and will not be stood for Thank you for reading this and please pass it on.
