As the son of elderly parents, I have been unhappy with the help our society provides. I attempt to describe my (and their) problems--the lack of dignity, the false professionalism, the pseudo-science and the lack of respect. This should be linked to the blog, also titled 'Poor Son Notes". CAVEAT: Even while Dr. G. did, in my opinion, communicate very badly--using primitive, unsubtle vocabulary whenever she stepped outside the realm of strictly medical language--she did help me, and my mother. She helped me and my mother by encouraging me to return to the USA, where I was able to help.

Thoughts on a Sunday
<p>I pause to reflect upon the cruelty of the system of "Elder-[don't]-Care".</p> <p>Moreover, it is hypocritical and ugly to notice the misrepresentation on every webpage and every Facebook page......As if everyone who is elderly spent their time having "fun", smiling, and enjoying the good times. A criminal misrepresentation of the cruel reality! And I didn't even mention the criminality of the food served in the dining room......</p>
