gryphon strike Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 ok folks got an interesting situation under development . A very old friend of mine ( almost 20 years ) has recently broken her foot in a silly accident. It is what has happened since that is "interesting" she has been abused by a surgeon in training and told she is "71 and a smoker so she won't heal anyway so they are not going to bother operating" now she is only 61 and while she does indeed smoke it is about a pack every week. the abuse occured in front of a local council member who has given my friend her details as a witness in re to her making a complaint. Since this incident my friend has been moved to another hospital and there would appear to be an attempt to get her into a psych ward and discredit her as being " crazy" in some form. Her treatment has been sporadic and at best neutral verging on hostile. I contacted the public advocates office and explained the situation and today her treatment was much better not to mention she is giving me medical power of attorney just to be on the safe side. Now it looks like I will be staying in Moorupna for a few weeks looking after her.Anyone got any ideas on what else I can do to help her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubby Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 Two things, Griff.1. Get legal advice.2. Get legal advice.Get off to your local equivalent of the Citizens Advice Bureau and get a referral, or contact one of the firms in South Australia that deal with this type of stuff all the time.

gryphon strike Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 yeah the only problem is she is in victoria, the power of attorney covers us if they try to commit her since I will take her to an independant shrink and get her evaluated without any preconceptions being involved.apart from that the councillor and the advocates office had no suggestions. I personally think they are worried about a malpractice suit and want to try to protect themselves. I cannot see any other reason for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubby Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 Sometimes a strongly-worded letter on a lawyer's letterhead is enough to do the trick.The councillor won't be able to do much. Is the advocate you are talking about an employee of the hospital? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon strike Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 No she is a public servant an employee of the public advocates office in victoria. Currently it looks like things are covered and I will get legal advice when I go look after her but there is little I can do from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stubby Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 In other news, "Bogan" has been added to the Oxford dictionary.The irony is that including that definition is such an illustrious publication has the same effect as bogans moving in next door. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Winged Shadow Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Rinehart is really going nuts for Fairfax. I really hope she doesn't succed, I'd hate to have to ditch SMH.Do we have any mining magnate that are likeable? or, lowering the standards, aren't complete bastards?

Toccs Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 apart from that the councillor and the advocates office had no suggestions. I personally think they are worried about a malpractice suit and want to try to protect themselves. I cannot see any other reason for it.Worried about a malpractice suit? Are you talking about the hosiptal's own legal counsel? If so I would recommend getting legal advice from someone completely independent of the hospital in question.
