Sedated, Silenced, and Scammed


Listen Later

This podcast excerpt, titled "Sedated, Silenced, and Scammed: The Unspoken Epidemic in Elder Care," highlights the alarming use of chemical restraints and legal exploitation within the elder care system. Through a personal anecdote and statistical data, it reveals that powerful antipsychotic drugs are often administered to elderly individuals without proper diagnosis or consent, primarily for convenience rather than clinical need, leading to severe side effects and even death. Furthermore, the text discusses legal cases that expose systemic failures in guardianship and asset control, where individuals are drugged and their rights are stripped away. Ultimately, the source serves as a call to action to raise awareness, demand transparency, and reform practices to protect vulnerable elders.
