Case #41 Davita Poconos, PA _TERMINATED-complained about a worker, worker even knowing the incident terminated him on the spot. He had another patient who started the strawberry situation. Ignored that and said he struck another patient in the head.
The other patient stated he started it, and nothing done to him. We are talking about friends. Pamela RN that he had complained about and had documentation is the one who terminated him. ESRD Network did their investigation and interviewed the other patient who admitted what had happened. Still terminated. This is the problem with self-policing among colleagues. Traveling to another clinic at a distance is financially straining and can’t do much longer. Blackballed and still is Pending.

Case #102 Fresenius West Allis, WI Bullying and harassing this patient. It appears that no one has addressed this issue and is escalating. I am fearful that they will continue and he will be terminated because how much abuse can one take. Pending
Case #103 NY This case is resolved. And patient is back in clinic. However I am still going to mention this case. A patient that had been their patient for 14 years went to the hospital and had to stay in the hospital until she met the following; She had to be able to transfer herself from wheelchair to chair unassisted. (no Hoyer lift) She had to walk to the scale. She accomplished this.( We use to weigh the wheelchair once the patient is seated and deduct that weight.) She then had to bring up her blood pressure as she has ran low for 10 years, as they will no longer give her Albumin. If not then at age 45 she has to return to the Hospital or a long term facility. We stated this is clearly “cherry picking”. Her first day was this last Wed as they took her back into the clinic. Just an example of what we are seeing Nationwide.
RESOLVED.
Case #104 NV. CASE RESOLVED.
Case #105 Bellflower, CA Patient and wife harassed, yelled at and feel that they are receiving poor care and lack of respect as a patient.
Case #106 Davita WI. Patient complained about care, bullied, harassed, stating she is going nowhere. She was going to be accepted two times at other clinics to say they don’t want her. So she is blackballed to have no other choice but has to stay and endure this abuse.
