Ok i hope the psyche ward tyoe lockdown stuffs over. They accommodated my diet fairly well and no creepy crawlers around so far. They have been more accommodating with some things considering other places usual habits. Theres a wound care nurse here who should have her pay doubled. 4 years of what i called toe rot from hell, not a single doctor or nurse could tell me anything about it until this nurse told me it was two things. and correct scientific latin names Thank you. As to other things like doctors ignoring things i believe a new medical student would know. But after all This Is Oakland, A city different from most so called American cities, what would you expect from an Oakland nursing home. thats why i live here

I did a short while ago however it's not here or unavailable. Be back soon. The ending results are a death that should not have happened. Their Personal Choice. By the way? Who and where is the Doctor? I could not locate nor speak with him at all. I tried numerous times face to face and by phone. I got NO callbacks and when I walked in I was told that he wasn't in the times I had came in to find. Dr. Hugo E. Altamorina. We didn't get to meet and now my brother is no longer alive. Some data in the record didn't add up either.Not all just an important factor that wasn't true and it matters. The reason for being that I'm told was reported. I tried to contact the source God is Able
