I have debated posting my comments on "the move", and I have discussed same by PM with several Mudcatters. I have come to the conclusion that, even though it's none of my business, and even though I may be posting upsetting comments, it is better that I post. Not for Severn's sake in particular, but for all those who may find themselves in similar circumstances.

I will try to be as brief as possible, so many details will be left out.

SOMEtimes, medical care providers want to "move" a patient and they may have many and varied reasons.

The patient may be under the influence of drugs and/or, more importantly, under the influence of not wanting to upset the medical care givers. Not upsetting the apple cart extends to the advocate(s) for and to the family(s) of the patient.

My experiences indicate that a thorough discussion involving the patient, the patient's advocate(s) and family(s), transitional care facilty personnel or extramural care personnel, and the patient's doctor (GP, family doc) is needed.

Ya gotta make sure everyone is on the same page. I have seen screwups that should not have happened. I lost my business because of such a screwup.

Having said all that, my post and others are no more than conjecture as no details have been posted. I am sure Sev and his advocate(s) and family(s) will make sure he is okay.
