Ama-Bedrails Angabangela Ukufa Kwabantu Ababuthaka, Abadala1

I-Food and Drug Administration isanda kukhipha iziqondiso ezithile zokuzama ukuqeda
Izimbangela zokufa ezaziwayo kodwa ezingajwayelekile emakhaya asebekhulile nasezibhedlela: ukubamba ubhontshisi bezintaba emibhedeni yasesibhedlela.
I-Bedrail iyithuluzi lensimbi elilula okufanele lisize.
Isiguli sizidonsela phezulu sisebenzisa insimbi ukuvimbela isiguli ukuthi singagingqiki embhedeni.
Kepha kwesinye isikhathi iziguli-
Ikakhulukazi abantu abadala ababuthaka abanokuwohloka komqondo noma isifo i-Alzheimer's-
Ingase ivaleleke phakathi kwe-bedspread kanye nomatilasi, okungaholela ekulimaleni okubi kakhulu noma ngisho nokufa.
Cishe amakhilomitha angama-350
Ukufa kubikwe ku-FDA kusukela ngo-1995. Amashumi amathathu-
Kubikwa ukuthi sekushone abantu abahlanu onyakeni nohhafu.
Kodwa izikhulu zikahulumeni zithi zicabanga ukuthi laba bangamaphesenti amancane nje abantu abalimalayo.
ULarry Kessler, umqondisi we-FDA's Office of Science and Engineering Laboratories, uthe amakhaya asebekhulile nezibhedlela eziningi bebengazi ukuthi bazobika ukulimala okunjalo.
Abanye bangase bangazibiki lezi zigameko ngoba besaba ukuthweswa icala ngokomthetho noma bengafuni ukuphumela obala kabi uma lokhu kufa kwenzeka.
\"Abantu akufanele bafe kanje," kusho uKessler . \" Ubuyekeze imibiko yalokhu kufa.
\"Zibucayi kakhulu futhi sikholwa ukuthi zingavinjelwa kakhulu.
\"Iziqondiso ze-FDA ezikhishwe zitshela izibhedlela namakhaya asebekhulile ukuthi izibalo eziyinkimbinkimbi zingenziwa kanjani ukuze kubhekwe ukuthi imibhede ihlanganiswe ngendlela efanele yini.
Inkinga, kusho uKessler, "ngesinye isikhathi ibangelwa ukuhlangana kwemibhede abantu ezingxenyeni ezahlukene" ababehola izikhulu zikahulumeni, abamele izimboni, amaqembu abathengi.
Izikhulu zeqembu nabanye ababeka imiyalelo emisha. Uma izingxenye zombhede --
Omatilasi, izinsimbi namafreyimu, isibonelo--
UKessler uthe iqhamuka ezinkampanini ezahlukene nokungaholela ezikhaleni eziyingozi ohlelweni lokuhlanganisa.
\"Umuntu obuthakathaka angase ashutheke ikhanda noma ingalo kwesinye sezikhala futhi angakwazi ukuzikhipha, okuyilapho elimele khona noma eshonele khona," usho kanje . \".
UKessler uthe cishe akubanga nankinga uma imibhede ibekwe ngendlela.
\"Asikholelwa ukuthi umbhede wasesibhedlela uyabulala," esho . \"
\"Ngokwesilinganiso, asicabangi ukuthi indawo engaphephile.
Ngenxa yokuthi kunezigidi noma ngaphezulu abantu abalele emibhedeni yokugula nsuku zonke kuleli zwe, abambalwa babo babuthakathaka futhi balahlekile, futhi umbhede owodwa ungabangela izinkinga, kuyingozi kancane.
Lesi yisenzakalo esiyivelakancane, kodwa kufanelekile ukukhathazeka ngaso.
\"Iziqondiso ezimbalwa kakhulu, sekwephuze kakhulu\'?
Kepha uSteven Miles uthi imihlahlandlela emisha ye-FDA ayanele.
UMiles, uprofesa esikhungweni se-University of Minnesota's Center for Bioethics, ungomunye wabokuqala ukubona abantu befa ngemuva kokubanjwa ngumuntu othanda ukudla.
Impendulo ye-FDA incane kakhulu, sekwephuze kakhulu, kusho yena.
\"Ngicabanga ukuthi ukubekezela manje, futhi umndeni kufanele uqikelele,\" kusho uMiles . \".
Ngisho nemihlahlandlela emisha, iziguli azikwazi ukuthembela ezibhedlela nasemakhaya asebekhulile ukuze zibambe imibhede eyingozi, esho.
Uma unabathandekayo esibhedlela noma emnyangweni wabahlengikazi, yini iziguli nomndeni ongayenza
UMiles uthi kunombhede womndeni onombhede ohlola igebe phakathi komatilasi, uhlaka lombhede nombhede.
\"Mina mathupha ngibheke embhedeni ukuze ngibone ukuthi ngokuphusha umatilasi ekupheleni kombhede bangakwazi yini ukuvala igebe elikhulu ngokwanele ukufaka iminwe emine phakathi kwegebe nensimbi, wasikisela.
\"Igebe likhulu kakhulu uma ungakwazi.
\"Izibhedlela eziningi namakhaya asebekhulile ayeke ukusebenzisa ubhontshisi wasezintabeni.
Ekuqaleni, zazisetshenziselwa ukuvimbela iziguli ukuthi zivuke.
Kodwa uMiles uthi izibhedlela eziningi zithole ukuthi azenzi kahle ekunciphiseni iziguli ngokuphephile.
Umphathi uphinde wathola ukuthi iziguli ezididekile ngezinye izikhathi zizama ukweqa ujantshi, okuyingozi kakhulu.
Njengoba amakhaya asebekhulile nezibhedlela kunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwazo kwe-bedrail, eziningi zalezi zinsiza ekugcineni zizovela ezindlini zabantu.
Umbhede omdala, kusho uMiles. -
Cishe akuphephile. -
Sekuzophela ekhaya.
Imakethe ye-Hospice.
\"Qasha umbhede wesithandwa esikhubazekile esiza ekhaya, futhi ngokuvamile sidonsa izinsimbi eshalofini;
Bazokhipha umatilasi eshalofini.
\"Bazoyiphonsa embhedeni bayihlanganise," kusho uMiles . \".
\"Ngeke bahlole usayizi walezi zikhala.
Bese beyithumela kumsebenzisi wokugcina ngaphandle kwamalebula mayelana nalezi zingozi.
"Futhi, lokhu kusho ukuthi kuwumthwalo wamalungu omndeni ukuhlola ukuthi umatilasi useduze yini nefreyimu yombhede kanye nesembozo sombhede.
Imithetho emisha ye-FDA sekwephuzile kakhulu ku-Bud Flynn.
Umama wakhe, uFrances Flynn, washona engozini yokulwa nezinhlanzi ngoMeyi 2004.
UFlynn wathola ucingo oluvela kumama wakhe ekhaya lasebekhulile eSacramento, eCalifornia.
Mtshele ukuthi ushone ebusuku.
\"Lena indlela yokungichazela: umama ushone ebusuku," kukhumbula uFlynn . \".
\"Ngakho ngacabanga ukuthi wenza kahle.
\"Olunye ucingo lweza ezinsukwini ezimbalwa kamuva.
\"Umphathi womngcwabo wabiza umkami wathi ihhovisi likamphenyi kudingeka liguqule umama wami ukuze ayohlolwa isidumbu ngoba ukushona kwakhe bekungekona ukufa okuvamile ---
\"Lokho kusho ingozi,\" kusho uFlynn . \".
Ngalesi sikhathi, uFlynn wathola ukuthi ukushona kukanina kwakunokuthula ngokuphelele.
Ngokusho komphenyi wecala waseSacramento County, imbangela esemthethweni yokufa kwaba ukuboshwa kwenhliziyo kungazelelwe.
Ngenkathi isidumbu sika-Frances Flynn\ sibhajwe phakathi kombhede wakhe kanye nomatilasi, wethuka wafa.
UFlynn wamangalela ikhaya lasebekhulile likanina, ethi ukufa kufanele kumiswe.
\"Isithombe sikamama enamathele kulo matilasi siyinto embi kakhulu," esho . \".
\"Akuyona indlela enhle yokushiya umhlaba
