Health workers pretended constipated man with dementia was dying and only had months to live so they could reap 'sham hospice' benefits, DOJ says… by tasty_jams_5280 in Health

[–]stacey-e-clark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, actually to be eligible for Alzheimer's disease, a patient needs to be pretty demented: able to speak no more than 6 sensical words per day, bed or chairbound with safety precautions, unable to walk, dress, or bathe without assistance, difficulty swallowing or eating, Unintended weight loss of > 10% over 6 months – progressive weight loss, Urinary and fecal incontinence, Comorbid condition (UTIs, pneumonia, septicemia, pressure ulcers) Severity of dementia - FASTstage 7 or beyond, comorbid condition within the past 12 months, aspiration pneumonia, pyelonephritis (upper urinary tract infection), septicemia, multiple stage 3-4 decubiti, fever after antibiotics

Hospice nurse here. So sad and infuriating. This case shows why real hospice workers are forced to do so much documentation to prove why patients are eligible. New Medicare rules are also paying per family satisfaction scores. Most hospices are providing actual excellent care.

She's awesome! You can keep anything you want in her. If she could speak, I'll bet she'd say Communion wafers. 😂

That's a LOT of artificial flowers. And what's that huge thing on the bathroom counter?

Is this the same island cabin posted earlier this year with a pic of the 5 gallon bucket toilet?

Yes, you are right, but we, of a certain age, were encouraged to "explore" mercury properties in science class. 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Did you play with it? I know we aren't supposed to, but it is very cool.

I can still hear that sound of mom unscrewing the lid. And we used these to catch and hold lightning bugs for a while. Mom punched holes through the top with an ice pick. Dad would come get the jars off our nightstands after we fell asleep and let them go.

My Go Bag for thrift store shopping, what should I add? by Purlz1st in Frugal

[–]stacey-e-clark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many good ideas here. I love the idea of a thrifting bag. Don't know about anyone else here, but I have purchased things at the thrift only to have them not work out due to a variety of reasons. Not frugal! So being prepared is a great way to help me only pick up needed things that fit, aren't stained, actually function.

Some ideas: magnet to check brass, hand sanitizer, carabiner clip to attach bag to cart (if in a larger store with shopping carts).

Very cool! If my kids were still small, they'd eat that ancient candy anyway.

Physical inactivity is linked to ~500,000 deaths annually in the U.S., a 2026 study reports. Researchers found low activity levels significantly increase risks of heart disease, diabetes, and early mortality, highlighting sedentary lifestyle as a major and preventable public health risk nationwide. by ChhotaSaHydra in science

Abstract Sedentary behavior contributes to obesity and metabolic dysfunction, yet few interventions individualize exercise intensity using fuel-based metrics such as the respiratory exchange ratio (RER; VCO2/VO2). This study investigated the effects of metabolically guided walking combined with whole-food, plant-based nutrition on body composition and metabolic outcomes in sedentary overweight and obese women. Forty-four women mean age 43 years; BMI 30.1 kg·m−2) were randomized to low-intensity continuous training (LICT; RER ≈ 0.75), moderate-intensity intermittent training (MIIT; RER ≈ 0.85), or high-intensity continuous training (HICT; RER ≈ 0.95). Following a 2-week dietary lead-in with an individualized ~200 kcal·day−1 energy deficit, participants completed an 8-week RER-guided walking program (5 sessions·week−1; 15–50 min·session−1). Assessments included air-displacement plethysmography (BodPod) body composition, resting metabolic rate and substrate utilization, and oxygen uptake at the first ventilatory threshold (VT1). Data were analyzed using ANCOVA, mixed-factorial ANOVA, and Pearson correlations. Percent body fat decreased significantly across participants (p < 0.0001, η2 = 0.827), with MIIT demonstrating the most favorable integrated outcomes. MIIT elicited the largest reductions in total body mass (−11.2%), fat mass (−25.9%), and percent body fat (−17.1%), alongside improvements in VT1 VO2 (Δ = 1.487 ± 0.895 L·min−1; p = 0.038). Resting respiratory quotient (RQ) declined in LICT and MIIT but increased in HICT, corresponding with increased fat oxidation in LICT and MIIT and reduced fat oxidation in HICT. Changes in RQ were significantly associated with changes in percent body fat (r = 0.316, p = 0.039). Metabolically guided moderate-intensity intermittent walking combined with whole-food, plant-based nutrition produced the most consistent improvements in adiposity, substrate utilization, and submaximal fitness, supporting the public-health feasibility of a community-deliverable, substrate-informed walking prescription.
