I also noticed that nobody at TVRH ECC offers to get a wheelchair for those in need. I watched a man, who could barely walk, drag himself into the ECC at TVRH and not one person offered him assistance. Again, up North, the ECC staff would have gotten a wheelchair and assisted him. I cannot believe the lack of care here.
Yes when I was there sick as a dog with food poisoning I sat and sat and finally when I went back I had to walk the long hallways with the orderly about 20 steps ahead of me. Finally I got his attention and asked for a chair.
