Chronicles of alienated labor by Aline-Torterat, occupational physician ---- "You have to
take out the frills," Marie [ 1 ], carer in a nursing home ---- I work nights in a nursing
home 20 hours at 7am with an hour break. It is 3 to 82 residents when it is complete. I
just had an accident at work that the director has denied. Fortunately, I had my colleague
as a witness. It happened by turning an old man with Alzheimer's disease. It is very
tough, you know, that's why we put two there. He grabbed my right wrist and pulled it so
hard that it made me twist. It sparked me a big pain in the whole arm. I have not said in
the morning thinking that it would lessen, but not all. I redid one night and then when
the pain became unbearable. In the morning I reported the accident. The manager was put in
fury.
He still makes the papers ... and after writing his challenge. My doctor stopped
fortnight. It's terrible because I do not know if Social Security will accept or reject
the accident. In addition, I suffer a little. It's really hard to be treated like that!
The manager considers bad, but not as we!
Night and almost always before midnight, there was much to exchange. A little more than
30. Before we used protection mark "Tena", although thick that lasted the night Rolls
protection! But we have just to change brands. We have "Artman" now. It's cheaper. The
director should probably make savings to better meet the shareholders of the chain which
operates a retirement home. These layers then it is simple, they are transparent ... and
much more difficult to install. You should always put two because you roll several times
the person. We must wrap the cord clamp to seal at the upper thighs, so that it does not
fit into the skin and after should be packed in a net protection, if it slides. And it's
still going person. We must take out the frilly net to prevent leakage between the legs.
And if this package is positioned poorly, he gets all string and passes through the bed.
At this time, when we made our turn, we need only change the bed!
It seems that is supposed to save sheets. Finally, I see that the director must make
savings on everything ... But it could still be polite to us.
[ 1 ] Only the name is changed, the rest is authentic.
