JUDSON Bennett’s Coastal Network
OPINION
Health Problems in Florida, Incompetence and Abuse Reigns!
Dear friends,
You all might have noticed the Coastal Network has been mostly quiet for a while? Unfortunately, yours truly needs a new aortic valve. Indeed, I never expected this to happen.
Frankly, I have been through medical hell, having a stint put in my heart at Good Samaritan Hospital( fair treatment); then forced into two nightmare Rehab Centers–one named Westgate and the other named Luxe.
Both are basically run by women who don’t speak nor understand much English. They acted as if they were doing me a favor when needing help. They sometimes left me lying for an hour having to poop or needing other assistance. My meds were constantly screwed up, putting me in danger as well. At Westgate I was forced into a room with another inmate, who screamed all night long.
Unfortunately, my poor cat Josephine was left alone for two months without seeing me. She became confused and aggressive. I am now in a high-end assisted living facility called Wellington Bay where I had hoped to bring my cat. Sadly I had to have her removed with the help of “24 hr Pet Service” where she will hopefully be saved? My heart is broken and it was like losing a child. Folks, Westgate and Luxe are shit holes in my opinion. Don’t go there!!!!!
I am now at this spectacular Assisted Living place at the rate of $6000 per month where I will be until October 7th when I will have major surgery to get a new valve installed. Afterwards, if I survive, this is where I will be living for a long time. Hopefully I will be able to continue the Coastal Network, bringing you news and opinions from my perspective. That’s the update.
I am a bit frightened, but hopeful for a full recovery. Say a prayer or two for me. God bless you all.
Yours truly,
JUDSON Bennett-Coastal Network
