Analyzing Annals: The Prevalence of Resident-to-Resident Elder Mistreatment in Nursing Homes.

Patient-on-Patient Attacks in Nursing Homes.
Resident-to-resident elder mistreatment (R-REM) between residents living in residential aged care (RAC) services is a challenging issue in relation to the care of older people. Evidence suggests that R-REM, such as verbal, physical, and sexual conflict between residents, is a common and pervasive issue.
Violence in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and hospitals is terrifying. The most common form of violence in long term care facilities is patient on patient abuse, also referred to as resident to resident elder mistreatment (RREM). Patient attacks and assaults on other patients are usually preventable through appropriate supervision. Nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and healthcare facilities can be held responsible if they allow a serious resident on resident assault to occur inside their facility.
When most people think of abuse, they think of physical violence such as punching and kicking. While this is certainly one potential outcome of an undesirable interaction between residents, RREM is not limited only to these actions. Many nursing home patients also experience sexual assault and abuse from other residents, as well as mental and emotional harm.

Analyzing Annals: The Prevalence of Resident-to-Resident Elder Mistreatment in Nursing Homes.
Mistreatment of nursing home residents by staff is a well-known phenomenon, and policies and initiatives have been developed to detect, prevent, and prosecute such abuse. In an observational study, mistreatment committed by other residents, including threats and physical, verbal, and sexual actions, was determined and compared with that committed by staff.

“Gangsters of Capitalism”: Jonathan Katz on the Parallels Between Jan. 6 and 1934 Anti-FDR Coup Plot.

HAS THERE EVER BEEN A TIME IN AMERICA'S HISTORY WHEN THERE WASN'T A BUNCH OF RICH PRICKS TRYING TO END THE CONSTITUTION AND TAKE OVER? “Gangsters of Capitalism”: Jonathan Katz on the Parallels Between Jan. 6 and 1934 Anti-FDR Coup Plot We speak to award-winning journalist Jonathan Katz about his new book “Gangsters of Capitalism: Smedley Butler, the Marines, and the Making and Breaking of America’s Empire.” The book follows the life of the Marines officer Smedley Butler and the trail of U.S. imperialism from Cuba and the Philippines to Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua and Panama. The book also describes an effort by banking and business leaders to topple Franklin D. Roosevelt’s government in 1934 in order to establish a fascist dictatorship. The plot was exposed by Butler, who famously declared, “War is a racket.” The far-right conspiracy to overthrow liberal democracy has historical parallels to the recent January 6 insurrection, says Katz. https://www.dem...

A woman who had accused Donald Trump of raping her when she was a 13-year-old dropped her lawsuit against the Republican nominee on Friday. One of the accuser’s attorneys, Thomas Meagher, filed a one-page voluntary dismissal in district court in New York late on Friday. Neither he nor a second attorney listed immediately responded to questions about the document. The woman, who had filed suit earlier this year under the pseudonym Jane Doe, had alleged that Trump and billionaire Jeffrey Epstein had raped her in 1994, when she was a 13-year-old aspiring model. Trump’s accuser asserted that while she was exploring a modeling career in 1994, she attended a series of parties at the Manhattan home of prominent investor Jeffrey Epstein. She alleges that during those parties the real estate mogul tied her to a bed and raped her. She also claimed Epste...
