The book itself is all about such inhuman indignities both as a “resident”of the long-term care facility as well as a “guest” at a middle school cafeteria when we 343 aged, frail, individuals were ejected from a church where we were initially bussed from the institution, “Miracle Center” and left to suffocate in a sealed bus container in the parking lot of the church. Physical intolerable cruelty was magnified by endless instances of “nursing personnel” yelling and talking down to the helpless,elderly patients who were denied food, water, sleep, and prescribed medication and doctor mandated care. My background as a Biology major at college and my employment at a local hospital in the northeast gave me a unique perspective on overall patient care. But nothing remotely prepared me for the absolutely inhuman treatment that we “residents” received from a wide variety of medical “professionals” during my 4-month residence at the “Miracle Center’ institution, nor the abomination of a totally bungled, criminally negligent transport between the “skilled” nursing facility, the unsanctioned church destination, and finally, what we all called the “cafeteria-from-hell” where we were forced to ride out the brunt of the devastation from the hurricane. As traumatic as all of the transportation experiences; before, during and after the hurricane so disgustingly were, that treatment we all received in our facility rooms was even more inhumane and tragic. I made every effort to report these flagrant abuses of basic human indecency to the proper state medical authorities, but they as well as the institution itself always seemed to be hell-bent on covering up, dismissing. or otherwise denying that such atrocities even took place. I desperately reach out to readers from all walks of life to spread the word about the dismaying reality of what truly happens daily and incessantly in these “butcher shops” all across the United States of America and, indeed, around the world. You’re hearing this from someone right in the thick of this obscene and criminal nightmare from hell with the hope that someone, somewhere, is in a position to stop it before more innocent elderly lives are lost!
