That he was discharged with nothing is reprehensible and probably illegal. I also live in the People’s Republic of Massachusetts, and this THE worst medical “care” story I’ve ever heard. Post Covid. Don’t cringe, politicians in this corrupt utopia wield a lot of power, and maybe, just maybe, the rep from his district can help. Just a thought. There are usually staff that deal with social security, Medicaid, and the like. I don’t know how old Chris is, but the local councils on aging tend to be very helpful and resourceful with social workers and available programs for help. BMC, because of its location, absolutely has social workers on staff that know how to help people apply for Medicaid and get their bills paid for, and they must also have a fund that does that too. I’m just spitballing places that may help until he can leave, if that’s what he wants. Also, is Chris a veteran? That status can be a game changer. Also, maybe Chris needs to file suit for medical negligence and violations against his patient rights (https://www.mass.gov/info-details/mass-general-laws-c111-ss-70e). All these things take energy, and I understand he probably doesn’t have it right now. As far as his criminal charges, I’m not sure what happened there, and I wish I had someone he could call for that. In the meantime, I’ll PayPal some $ and call BMC.
That is very kind of you, Maria. Several of us are doing what we can to help Chris remotely. Ultimately, he will need to become more proactive himself. This system is a real leviathan, and you have to fight extremely hard for yourself. Thanks!
The system is a monster. Except if you’re an illegal alien in Maura Healey’s Massachusetts.
All hospital’s have administrators and general counsel. Both loathe bad publicity and outcry from the public. If enough people call and write Boston Medical Center how and why Chris got treated so badly in their award-winning facility, they’ll have to respond.
I’m a big believer in throwing mission statements in leviathan’s face. Here, eat this, your own words. Chris should have had a discharge plan, the social workers should’ve helped him with Medicaid if he didn’t have it already, and there should’ve been some safety net in place. Like a visiting nurse? Damn, this is wrong. Feral cats get treated better.
Awesome comment, Maria. The many long-established entities that you list are designed, exactly as you suggest, to help a person like Chris in precisely this type of situation and...yet they haven't and probably won't (unless they are cowered into acting after someone like you gives them hell). Curious, did you happen to call BMC and get them to acknowledge their reprehensible deeds (i.e., malpractice) in this case?
