The bed and commode went yesterday. Today the incontinence pads , night bags, leg bags, catheters and sundry other exotica are going to a nursing home. |

Earlier this year I had to throw away pumps, large plasters and dressings as the District Nurses were unable to take them to be used. All in airtight packaging, it is criminal. |

it's great that as much as possible is being reused Sharron, I am sure that would appeal to Fred's thrifty ways. |

When my aunty still lived with me, there was not so much stuff in the house, I.e incontinence pads, bandages etc, but the nursing home where she had to go for the last few months of her life, accepted the above mentioned. What really galls me is, medication that had been over-prescribed, is destroyed if you take it back the the pharmacy. They are not allowed to give it to any other patients. I can fully understand this when certain antibiotics are concerned and other meds that need to be kept in a fridge, but other stuff.....? Criminal waste. One of my daughters used to work as doctors assistant in a group,practice in Amsterdam, before she moved house.There was a wonderful doctor there who helped those without a roof over their heads, and those that come here when fleeing from violence etc in their own country. None have health insurance ( VERY expensive over here), so he helps them, by accepting perfectly good meds, and giving them to to those desperate people.A close friend brought me another large bag two weeks ago.........another daughter who still lives in Amsterdam took them back with her yesterday to give to that lovely GP-IF the good man still works there, more important, is ALIVE!!! He was slowly dying of cancer, bless him. The pharmacy don't even take things like incontinence pads o back to be given to other patients!!! Ditto bandages, plasters etc. Completely bonkers. I will climb off my soap box-for NOW! |
