accountablity

The new social worker called me today to set up a "care" meeting for my brother.  I took the opportunity to voice my concern that it shouldn't have been me to note that my brother had put on 15 pounds in 3 weeks.  Also, I told her that he had experienced plummeting blood pressure before and that they needed to keep an eye on it.  I let her know that I thought there was a problem  with accountability, that everyone replies that some kind of incident doesn't happen on their shift, therefore they are not accountable.  I mentioned that all his clothes are missing for a second time, and that I had to hound them to shave him, but that seemed to be fixed for the time being.  And I mentioned the need to remember to clean his hearing.

I told her these were items I wanted to put on the agenda to discuss.  She is knew on the job.  I think she was taken aback, and was a little distant.  I think at these meetings you are supposed to be compliant and that they hold them just to satisfy some kind of regulation.
