“I would allow him to be a little dirty for a couple days.”

It’s this sentence right here. It doesn’t matter what comes before or after it, it’s that sentence that makes Morley into a complete sociopath. Be a little dirty? A couple of fucking days? Get fucked. I wouldn’t let my dog be dirty for a couple of days. I don’t let my shoes be dirty for a couple of days. Leaving a person under your care with shit in their pants when they can’t do anything about it for a couple of days means you aren’t human anymore. You have forfeit your humanity. I don’t think we are part of the same species. You are something less than me now, and I don’t like you.

Yeah, I think it’s really the timeframe. Days. If you cannot clean them immediately because of pressing things that prevent you, OK. If that takes 10-15 minutes, OK. If that takes an hour, maybe OK. If that takes any longer, we are getting slowly to a not OK. Days, absolutely not OK. How can that be medically safe according to this doctor?

  It doesn’t really matter if it’s medically safe. It’s just disgraceful.

    Right, even if it was medically safe, it infringes on the persons basic human dignity.

    Not disgraceful. Supervised neglect. And that is assault.

Plus the use of “allow” is interesting when the patient is actually forced to live in this condition.

  Right?! It almost makes it sound like the patients prefer living that way and the doctor is reeling them back in (which is obviously not the case)

And he was the medical director of AmeriHealth Caritas with about 5 million people in 13 states and his care. Also, I don’t believe for 1 second that his views are unique in a profit driven health care industry - the whole concept of profit driven health care is obscene.

  Sounds like we need another Free Market correction by an Italian plumber.
