Middle East Turmoil

While tensions in Egypt have dramatically reduced following Mubarak's resignation, tensions in other middle eastern countries continue to boil.

In Yemen protesters were attacked by knife weilding mobs. In Iran the religious dictators have blocked the internet and warned force will be used against any anti-government protesters. In Jordan, tribal leaders are protesting the rule of the King and Queen. Protests continue in Tunisia.

The world continues to watch the unrest.

Too little too late

A nursing home resident in Windsor wanders off and dies in the middle of the night. The Ministry of Health and Long Term Care orders an alarm system be installed. The question we have is, why wasn't there an alarm system in the first place?

Every Long Term Care facility in the province has a fire alarm, fire procedures and at least one fire drill per month per shift (meaning most facilities have 3 drills a month). Why? It is legislated.

Wandering residents are one of the highest risks that Long Term Care facilities face. So why are there not alarm systems, procedures and drills? Well, many facilities do. Unfortunately there are a few that still do not.

Here is an article on the Windsor fatality.
