Yes, it is very sad! Compassion, apparently is not allowed! I worked in an LTC facility and I could not believe how overworked with ppwk things were. Sure, I know charting has to be done, but getting to know my patients should be a part of that and time allotted to do that. But unfortunately, it all seems to boil down to money. It always ends up being about money!!! What a shame! We can complain and complain about needing to get to know our pt, but nothing ever happens to improve it!
