My name is Debra My father had a massive stroke in Wasilla Alaska and was alone his wife died in his arms at their home.

My father had planned to come out of retirement to build another house, he had gotten all the quotes from the building supply people to go to this 77th birthday to build like he loved to do

He wished to help a small family out by building small enough for new families to get into a small house. This was his last house to build it was his wish before he died to finish a home for a new family.

My Father was a Korean War and WWII VET. HE was a fireman in Ventrua California, and in Paradise California. He saved peoples lives and now ther is no
one to help me to save my fathers life. The hospital refuses to transport him to Oregon.

he has no blood relatives in Alaska and no visitors. He is now in Extended Care Unit that is owned by the sisters of Providence. I talked with him on July 16th 2004 he said he wished to come to Oregon he was talking fine, the next week? He was pretty silent they keep his mouth as dry as if salt has been placed in the mouth. If he is talking?

why have they not done the therapy for getting him to do solid food? He has not had the proper care as been proven because they did not turn him to aviod Bed sores? The State of Alaska fined the hospital.

Also the doctor who did not treat and infection Thrush? I told the doctor on call He says "You do not know what you are talking about" Listina is his name I called him doctor Listerine accidentally. He refused to treat my father and I was forced to watch him suffer for 10 hours? My fathers throat was engulfed in pain the infection had gone into his lungs, I finally got another doctor in there and He agreeded with me on what I had pointed out to be the symtoms of the infection, but the infection filled his lungs and I watched as the suctioned 2 gallons of yellow pus out of my fathers lungs.

He was paralyzed only on his left side. He had been out chopping wood only a few weeks before this tradgy. I need someones help soon! or I fear my father will die in the care facility that he is in. I have suffered and ended up getting an antibiotic resistant strep bug (G)from that facility myself, I went on two airliners back home to Oregon and was told not to go into the general public on June 28th 2004? I do not have enough money to fight this organization. I have contacted the State Attorney generals office in Alaska to tell of the hell I went through the lies, the blantant refusal of giving me the chart notes?

This Hospital is well known for its mistreatment in Wasington D.C.? The govenors aid told me that PROVIDENCE HAS A TRACK RECORD OF MISTREATING VETS AND MEDICARE ELDERLY PEOPLE. So why if the know they are not following the federal laws of safety and health standards? What is the problem? How do I save my father"s life?

I sked them to transport and the doctor told me that this was an Emotional Issue not a Medical one? WHAT happened to dignaty of the dieing and elderly ya know end of life we care so much? even though My father would be around family memebers to help him to recover in a state of the art better Health care? because we can be there by his side? This is a hospital with Compassion? they were sued for the fact that 26 hours of Chart notes went missing on a brain injured child. The attorney's settled in March after 13 years of fighting. If the Catholic Church has enough money for these attorney's? And the organization has been known for financial gain and is not operating as a non-profit? why can't they pay the back taxes? We most likely could pay off the national debt? I am just a single mom here. My son who turned 16 years old? Said MOM why does everyone die around my birthday? He had looked forward to meeting his GRANDFATHER .

My Father promised to come to his birthday party after not seeing all of his grandchildren for many years. He was coming home in a week to see all the kids and the grandchildren he had not met?

I even contacted Kerry's campaign office? You know No man left behind? And Hope is on the Way? well I hate to disappoint you Hope is still laying there dieing in Alaska.

He says to a U.S. Senator Have you ever had a pissed off Marine on your a*s"? Well in this real life drama I am like the second Erin Brockovich and I have said "Have you ever had a pissed Off Marines drill segergant's Daughter on your a*s? I will not let them get away with the elderly abuse and I hope that I can save my fathers life by making this Hospital do the job that they are billing for. If not I plan to start a consumer group for elderly care here in Oregon to help the families help themselves. Thank you Please help

UPDATE My father died Sept 23rd 3 months of fighting to live

AUTHOR: Debbie - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Sunday, November 28, 2004

On June 21st 2004 My father signed the papers of durable power of attorney. The hospital had never given me any paperwork, they falsified documents to bring social services into the mess believing that I would bow down to pressure of state involvement. My step brother was brought in for testimony on June 23rd to contest my durable power of attorney. even though he had only come to visit the hospital 3 times during my 21 day stay there. The hospital was fined by the state for neglect due to the bedsores.
My fathers social security number was listed wrong on the paperwork when they transfered him to the nursing home which the hospital owns. He died on Sept. 23rd. The hospital listened to a person who had never been adopted and now 3 months down the line a Will happened to appear. I was never told about a new will. The bank manager of a credit union in Wasilla Alaska that called a complaint on me to the state. lied to me about a lien that had been placed on the money that was in the bank the bank managers wife worked at the main hoapital. When I was trying to get my father out of harms way and get him transported to Oregon.To remove him from hospital. To fly him down to Oregon with the funds in his bank account. The notary person who knew my father understood at the time he had witnessed with a state seal My father signed the durable power of attorney The notary has been fired the social worker who let me sign approval to move him to a nursing home resigned from the hospital staff, the hospital Omitted information to vindicate me from the chart notes. I was a natural blood relative and they refused to give me chart notes.Or any notes on the discharge hearing to move him to a nursing home.
on july 9th after returning to Oregon the records person told me long distance that another person had been deciding for my fathers care and that I had no rights to get the records. I told her there was no natural blood relatives in Alaska at the time. The court appointed attorney thinks I am just a single mom
and poor and have no say so in the court hearings.Its funny the pastor from the hospital called me long distance at the bequest of my father only days after I had obtained the durable power of attorney. How could he understand my fathers wishes if he wasn't talking
and making clear what his wishes were?
I never lied I told the truth. I was following my fathers last wishes on June 21st 2004 what good did it do? Now the court appointed attorney is charging
outrageous fees and I am left with bogus charges of interfering with the hospitals want for money. Just in case you have older parents make sure they are cared for by a private home. Do not waste your time with nursing homes or hospitals they are after money thats all. Make sure all the paperwork is in order Or you get accused of being an overprotective child and considered nuts by your family. Go figure. To many lies were told to make this ever get resolved and there is no justice when they have
so many well paid attorneys and you are considered a no-body when they protect they play the game so well and have the money to back their position they took against me. Debra in Oregon

UPDATE Letter to Lieutenant Governor Leman Alaska

AUTHOR: Debra - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, August 13, 2004

I have wriiten a letter asking the Lieutenant Governor to intervene on behalf of our family
There is a hearing of custody from the state of Alaska to seize control of our father. we can not
be there in person and I have asked that the courts move the date so that My sisters can go to Alaska after they pull the money together to fly up there.

Hopefully Mr. Leman will hear my plea to help our family out by insisting that the courts give us a chance to travel up there to be able to attend the hearing the State is having on the issue of custody of our father.


I never recieved the court documents until a week before this hearing is scheduled becasue they had filed illegally in the Superior district court with the wrong address for me so I was unaware of the hearing in writing up until a few days ago.

I do not think this is fair for the state to not have my correct mailing address especially when We are talking about our fathers life? Maybe some way we will get through this hell just remember if your parents get older make sure they do not go to a nursing home, take care of them at home. Your family will be better off that way. Hope

just got a notice that said that the security gaurd that was the notery person

AUTHOR: Debra - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Monday, August 02, 2004

I just got a notice that said that the security gaurd that was the notery person I used to validate a legal form at the hospital?
Was fired, also I heard that the social workers that I came into contact with while at the hospital for 21 days?

They are resigning their positions the doctors are no longer in State too? Does this sound odd?

I wish I had more time to fight for my father but he now is getting another infection pnemonia
and He is in trouble because of the lack of staff being able to turn him for to aviod the
pnemonia to settle in his lungs. ON the weekends they do not have any therapy sessions to care for these older elderly people why is our health system not set up to care for the people that cannot take care of themselves?

It seems like the hospital gets a slap on the hand and it is back to business?The State has already fined them I have the arm of the Law looking into the complaints from Medicare too.

What good is it for them to get a fine for the neglect and the abuse? Elderly people should have someone to represent them like an independant Doctor? My father does not have a private doctor.

The assesment has not been done and it has been 14 days since he was admitted to the rehabilitation Unit, They are required to do a medical assessment and I saw that his tooth( a base tooth for dentures?) Looked infected?
I have no papers because the social worker refuses to send me papers. I asked and asked for her to send proof that all the right things had been done medically.

I asked for a photo of my father and they said they would send one 2 weeks ago. No reply. I asked for the minutes in the hearing for June 17th 04? I have received not one piece of paper from the hospital. Call the administrators please
the more public I have involved? The more United consumers become the more stories are told?
United we stand and well you know the rest of that saying. Debra
