10-17-22 - Ijeoma Ezealah - 5 lies - LPN Why do they LIE? Are you dumb enough to trust a lying asshole on other parts of their job? All she had to do was take vitals and be on her way. Like almost all VA employees, she couldn't do it without lying. Most odd, their lies usually have no obvious purpose. There's no reason to lie... yet it's oh-so-common among VA employees. This is a seriously bizzarroland cultural phenomenon. It is a MASSIVE problem. Anyone reading your medical record will assume the lies are true. Lying Ijeoma... you can't be trusted. You earned a t-shirt today. I suspect you earn a t-shirt every time you open a patient's medical record. Lie #1: "Height 71.969 in" This is in the vitals section, not in her notes. Only at the VA... noplace else on Earth would anyone claim to measure a person's height to a precision of 71.969 inches! Can't-stop-laughing... at the stupidity of this... especially when you know... it's a height which has been copy/pasted before... She did not measure my height. There was no mention of height in this encounter. I understand the assumption that a person in a wheelchair can't get up to be measured. It does not justify entering a lie in my medical record. All of the lies told in my record are accepted as truth. A patient cannot get lies removed from their record. I have tried. I've been promised by VA department heads that they would remove lies after I proved they were lies. Those lies are still in my record many years later. Lies cause healthcare problems regardless of how trivial they may seem. Lie #2: "Weight 225 lb" This is in the vitals section, not in her notes. She did not measure my weight. There was no mention of weight in this encounter. Same as above, lies cause problems regardless of how trivial they may seem. If weight is trivial then why is it important enough to lie about it? Lie #3: "Is the Veteran in pain now? No pain now." I said yes, she wrote no. I was actually in so much pain that it was causing a lack of concentration. I was even lethargic and a bit confused in my answers to her questions. Lie #4: "1. On average, how many days per week do you engage in at least moderate (brisk walk or greater) excercise? 0" Why do they lie? She didn't ask the question, so why put a lie in my medical record? Lie #5: "2. On average, how many minutes per session? 0" Seriously, why do they lie? Don't lie if you're going to put this stoopid bureaucratic crap in my medical record. I was in the room, ask the stoopid question or don't add it to my record. Here you'll see the actual lies in my medical record, written by this liar. This information is taken directly from the VA computer system. Video proves her lies. This person should not be employed in healthcare. "Banned for life" is the proper disciplinary action for blatant betrayal.
