PART 2 – UPDATE NOTES
Warning to Seniors: Rich or Poor, You’re Worth a LOT to Lawyers, Courts, and Service Agencies!
by Lonnie Brennan
In our prior edition, we briefly outlined how retired Boxford attorney had established a plethora of detailed estate planning documentation with the intention of protecting his approximately $9 million estate from predators, interlopers and other nasties.
Mr. Siegel failed.
He specifically failed to consider one important fact: At any time, a gaggle of lawyers, with the aid of friendly Massachusetts judges, can almost seamlessly have an elderly gentleman declared a ward of the state, and swoop in and begin to draw off his assets.
We’ve collected quite a lot of documents since last month, with details on just some of the billings of Attorneys Brian Cuffe, Marsha Kazarosian, James Feld, and others. Billings of sometimes in excess of $200,000 per year, and collectively resulting in the draining of millions from the estate.
The beef: two of Mr. Siegel’s daughters – one a lawyer – were named by Mr. Siegel to take over the custody of his estate in the event of illness, but instead, were cast aside by the courts, and others were given full control.
To the right, a few of the photographs printed here show the drilling of Mr. Siegel’s safety deposit box, Attorney Feld counting the content’s money, Feld and Kazarosian taking a break at approximately one-third of the way going through the cash and contents, then the pair packing things up after more than 4 hours and 30 minutes of documenting the valuables.
But this opening of the box and cataloguing of the contents was just one of many measures allowed by the courts to place the assets of Mr. Siegel in the control of court-appointed guardians for Mr. Siegel.
At press time, a further appeal by Mr. Siegel’s daughters on the draining of their father’s accounts by court-appointed lawyers and others, was denied.
Most interesting, Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly announced an award for Kazarosian, complete with a video of her, alongside an article terming the daughter’s appeals too confusing and wordy to comprehend.
The despicable actions inflicted on Mr. Siegel were not just directed to draining his lifetime of accumulated wealth. In an upcoming issue we’ll provide extensive details of how the state-appointees even terminated Mr. Siegel’s regular doctors and caregivers … stay tuned. ¨

The health & healthcare swindeling/disgnosis scamming community.
With drs pushing for lethal injections of termally ill patients,
WHO’S checking these “patients” are not long term poisoned malpractice victims being damaged/subdued on the same pharmaceutical drugs that had initially harmed them?
Even if two drs check & sign off on the victims lethal injection, because they are past & ongoing malpractice accomplices their interest will be to aid in the deception/murder!
Makes me realize, drs use the hippocratic oath as a trust me FRONT to manipulate the healthy onto pharmaceutical toxic, long term damaging substances that clinically causes severe neural debilitating seziure’s that is diagnosis swindeled as a disease/disorder & the victims are poisoned managed/damages increased instead instead of decreased, stopping the malpractice victim chance of recover simply because it’s TOO incrminating.
CALULATING COLD, HEARTLESS KILLERS.
My mother was told she would die from her “neural illness/disorder” in 6 – 12 months by these medical scamming criminals & by stopping their poisons she is still very aware and still here 8 years later! They would of murdered her without a second thought to portect their criminal profiting syndicate.
DON’T LET THEM POISON DEBILITATE & MURDER YOU OR YOUR LOVED ONES.
Didn’t a group in WW 2 have the same view & hid their poisoned to death victims in a simular, medical/legal deceptive way?
You can see the facts for yourself everyday.
Something drs aviod by harming their victims from a distance & won’t admitt when they do see their malpractice victims that their damages/symptoms is their fault because they used false medical labels to harm them instead & refering their victims to malpractie accomplice drs just continues malpractice victims poisonings & increases their intnernal injuries.
Geeeeez; You don’t have to be Sherlock Homes to see what the health & health care community are doing with their probate robbing lawyers isn’t medicine or the law when they exclusively pay for laws to push & are supporting a poisoning violent & robbery swindeling criminal racket who condone poisoning & stealing patient’s money/properties & children’s inheritence leaving families destitute, without a care or a second thought as long as they get to share in their victims families money and keep getting paid.
Pandering to them to educate them is just more time for them to use your good intentions against you & bribe their corrupt accomplices for bias laws to ignore you & keep harming others for a living while avoiding being arrested.
Many victims/families, know exactly what i’m saying.
Warm regards

Dear Richard Black,
Dementia patients (victims) are ever medicated, are they?
Read this OLD STORY, that is still illegally continuing today:
> Premature deaths linked to drugs in nursing homes.
LATELINE BY MARGOT O’NEILLUPDATED FRI AUG 17 05:32:29 EST 2012
Families count cost of dementia drug prescriptions.
Up to 6,000 elderly people could be dying prematurely each year because of widespread over-prescription of powerful drugs to dementia patients in nursing homes.
Experts say anti-psychotic drugs can leave patients immobilised and unable to speak and are often used unnecessarily to keep dementia sufferers quiet for overworked staff.
But the drugs can increase the risk of death by 50 per cent, and family members are often left in the dark about their use.
John Burns’ family thought they were doing the best thing for their father when they booked him in to a nearby nursing home in Adelaide offering specialist dementia care.
Just 63 years old, he had severe symptoms such as disinhibited sexual behaviour. He never hurt anyone but his lewd remarks and wandering put him at risk of harm.
What then happened to Mr Burns, while extreme, is not uncommon, according to experts.
He walked into the nursing home able to feed and clean himself and able to converse with his family.
Within 24 hours he was so doped up they could barely wake him, within a week he was unable to sit upright or converse at all, and within 12 days, he was dead.
Jody Playford knows now that her father had a stroke.
She also knows that during his short time in the nursing home, he was massively dosed with dangerous anti-psychotic drugs that can heighten the risk of stroke and death.
“I don’t think in your worst nightmares you could have ever imagined it could have gone so wrong,” she said.
“I went down to the lounge room only to find Dad sitting in the lounge room in his own urine and he had jelly in his eyes, his eyes had turned to jelly and the jelly was coming out of his eyes.
“And he was away with the fairies. He didn’t know me and we hadn’t had that problem with dementia, so I was rubbing his hand, saying, ‘Dad, it’s Jody, it’s Jody!'”
Soon after arriving at the nursing home, Mr Burns had tried to leave.
He guessed the security code and wandered outside the locked dementia wing. He also made sexual remarks to staff, raised his fist and touched a female staff member’s breast.
None of this is unusual behaviour for dementia patients who often become agitated when adjusting to new environments.
No one was hurt. And each time he had become compliant again.
But some staff were worried enough to call a doctor who prescribed the powerful anti-psychotic haloperidol, which he was given repeatedly in large doses.
“This was a level four chemical restraint, which means your life’s in danger, the client’s life is in danger. It drops them to the floor instantly,” Ms Playford said.
High doses of potent drugs
One of South Australia’s leading geriatric experts, Dr Craig Whitehead, testified at a coronial hearing into Mr Burns’ death that he believed the overall dose over the next five days was excessive.
“He did have a very high dose of halperidol, which is a very potent anti-psychotic… I think he had about 35 milligrams,” he told the hearing.
“I would ordinarily give, in that circumstance, at best, 5 [milligrams] orally.”
In fact, Mr Burns was given 45 milligrams in five days, as well as other anti-psychotics and sedatives.
The coroner heard that sometimes he was drugged because he was restless or wanting to go for a quiet walk in the corridor at night.
“And even the coroner said, ‘Well, what else is the man meant to do in the facility? What’s wrong with going for a walk?'” Ms Playford said.
The coronial inquest heard the doctor believed he had given an appropriate dose and that he was concerned for the safety of nursing home staff because Mr Burns had become aggressive and abusive.
South Australian Coroner Mark Johns found last year that Mr Burns died of a stroke in 2006.
He did not link it to anti-psychotic drugs, but he noted that Dr Whitehead’s expert concerns that haloperidol played a role “may well be correct”.
“Essentially the man died of a stroke and that had been acquired after what seemed in my mind significant prescription or over-prescription of anti-psychotics to treat his behaviour,” Dr Whitehead told Lateline.
“I thought it was a really important example of how these medications we give to people with dementia, a very common problem, and behavioural disturbance in dementia is a very common problem, have serious and high risk effects. And it was clear to me that the family had never been engaged in a discussion about that.”
Dr Whitehead says while there are many excellent nursing homes, he is concerned about a lack of properly trained staff to care for the 140,000 dementia patients who now dominate residential care – and whose numbers are set to explode.
“I think there is a sense that the aged care industry is less tolerant to patients with behavioural disturbance,” he said.
“There is a tendency to gravitate towards blaming the person for their behaviour.”
Ms Playford was at her father’s bedside when the doctor who had prescribed the anti-psychotics arrived.
“Mum and I couldn’t quite believe it. Because he looked at Dad and said, ‘You know what you did, Mr Burns. We’re not going to tolerate that sort of behaviour here and you know what’s going to happen if you continue to do this,'” she said.
‘Massive amounts of drugs’
Many of the same issues were faced by Beverley Harvey and her family when their mother went into a Gold Coast nursing home late last year suffering dementia.
Even though she was 93 years old, Annetta Mackay was mobile and could converse with her family. But within two months she had lost 16 kilograms and was hard to wake.
“We walked in and our mother looked dead,” Ms Harvey told Lateline.
“I suspected she was heavily drugged. So that’s why I spoke to the doctor. He said, ‘Your mother is on massive amounts of drugs.'”
Ms Harvey and her family were told their mother was calling out at night and using vulgar language that upset other residents.
Once the sedation began, it did not seem to stop.
“They were still drugging her even though she was well and truly comatose, not eating, not drinking, just sleeping,” Ms Harvey said.
Experts interviewed by Lateline say the science is clear: anti-psychotics are not beneficial for the vast majority of dementia patients whose behaviour can often be managed by better trained staff.
“We also have some limited evidence that stopping those medications improves those outcomes, improves their behaviour and improves their cognition,” Professor David Le Couteur from the Australasian Society of Clinical and Experimental Pharmacologists and Toxicologists said.
“From my perspective, the correct management of behavioural problems in dementia is nearly always reducing medications, not starting them.”
The anti-psychotic drugs were stopped when Ms Harvey’s mother went to hospital and suddenly Ms Mackay was able to chat to her family again.
But she then returned to the nursing home.
“She was like a zombie,” Ms Harvey recalls.
“The last day, I put my arm around her and said, ‘We’re going now,’ and she didn’t open her eyes, she just made sure I kept there.
“She was sort of holding me in, and said, ‘Beverley, don’t leave me here.'”
Her family managed to have the anti-psychotics and sedatives stopped in January, after four months. Ms Mackay died in April.
Thousands affected
Up to 60 per cent of nursing home residents are on psychiatric drugs, and up to 30 per cent are on powerful anti-psychotics.
Professor Le Couteur says in many cases doctors are treating people with dementia in order to make life easier for the carers and the health workers.
He calculated how many patients are dying six to 12 months prematurely each year because of the over-use of anti-psychotics, and got figures ranging from 500 to 6000.
“I think the answer is thousands,” he told Lateline.
“I think there are probably thousands of deaths where can attribute to these medications.
He said he was not aware the figure would be so high.
“I was shocked, very sad for the elderly people,” he said.
“People with dementia are human beings and they need to be treated with respect and sedating them because of their behaviour just feels wrong as a human being.”
While not commenting on specific cases, Queensland specialist geriatric psychiatrist Professor Gerard Byrne says there are likely to be hundreds of premature deaths each year with thousands more adversely affected.
“I think it’s likely to be hundreds, if not, thousands severely adversely affected each year in this country,” he said.
“I have certainly seen on a fairly regular basis, older people with dementia that have been prescribed antipsychotic medication either inappropriately, or in excessive dose or for too long a period.
“The problem is that they seem to be used indiscriminately and significantly overused, really.”
Minister concerned
Federal Minister for Mental Health and Ageing Mark Butler says he has asked for detailed information about the issue from health groups and the National Prescribing Service.
He says he has heard the claims before and will investigate them.
“When you go to issues like consent, when you go to issues like the proper prescription of medications before non-pharmalogical methods have been proven to fail, I think this is arguably seen as a human rights issue,” he said.

Mistreated nursing home residents ‘better off in a concentration camp’
LATELINE BY MARGOT O’NEILL, STAFFUPDATED TUE JUL 16 09:06:02 EST 2013
Families describe disturbing state of Australia’s nursing homes.
Traumatised relatives have raised shocking claims that their loved ones were left to die unnecessarily or in great pain because of a critical lack of staff and training in nursing homes.
The ABC’s Lateline program has spoken to many people about their loved ones’ experiences in nursing homes across Australia.
Their complaints include relatives being left in faeces and urine, rough treatment, poor nutrition, inadequate pain relief, verbal abuse, and untreated broken bones and infections.
And one woman has told the ABC that her grandmother, who survived Nazi concentration camps, believes her experiences in aged care are worse than her wartime ordeal.
Relative details litany of abuse, neglect by untrained staff
Jane Green’s mother Margaret McEvoy, a former nurse and foster carer, died last year after spending time in a Victorian nursing home.
Ms Green says over-worked and under-trained staff were not giving medication properly and were leaving Ms McEvoy to wet herself because no-one was available to take her to the toilet.
Ms Green says her mother also complained of being constantly hungry, and suffering abuse by staff members.
“The staff member called her a spoilt brat and a princess and [said] that she always wanted to get her own way,” Ms Green told Lateline.
“She became very shut down … it was like seeing someone who had the stuffing knocked out of them.
“When I would leave on Friday nights, she would look at me and just say to me ‘I’m all right’, and I knew she was just trying to be brave.”
“They informed the Government’s recent response, the legislation that went through to the Senate in the last sitting week, for living longer, living better, because we know we need to increase the training, we know we need to establish a more stable workforce in aged care, and we know that there are limited numbers of specialists.
“This is why the Labor government has a 10-year plan to improve the supply of services to meet the future demand. We’ve had shortages in aged care in Australia for way too long.”
Wartime survivor ‘better off in a concentration camp’
The shocking stories from the Victorian nursing home are not uncommon.
Mardi Walker’s 91-year-old grandmother Paula Javurek was in a New South Wales nursing home that was supposed to deliver high care.
The nurse and health care lecturer was horrified when she found her grandmother with exposed raw ear cartilage due to lack of turning, and one of her arms immobilised after staff botched injections.
“They would just keep injecting into the same spot and she would scream. My mother said it was horrific, because she would scream,” Ms Walker said.
Ms Javurek had survived Nazi concentration camps, and was tortured and raped after being captured during the war.
Her family told the nursing home only female staff should wash her because of residual trauma from wartime assaults.
But the family has since counted 70 times when male carers washed Ms Javurek, who tried to fight them off.
“I think she felt like she was almost probably back in wartime again. My mother often used to say… she would be better off being in a concentration camp than where she is,” Ms Walker said.
After finding their grandmother shivering from cold and suffering undiagnosed pneumonia, Ms Javurek’s family took her home. A week later, in February this year, she died.
Relative threatened with defamation for blowing the whistle
Most of the nursing homes concerned were fully accredited by the Federal Government.
Families say they saw little change after going through the Federal Aged Care Complaints Scheme. In fact, many say they experienced bullying and retribution by the nursing home when they did complain.
Ms Green was threatened with defamation for complaining about her mother’s treatment to the Health Practitioner’s Authority.
“It was frightening, you know, you have images of being sued,” Ms Green said.
“It’s stressful to persist and keep going but if I don’t everything that happened to my mum will be dead and buried.”
Aged care lecturer Maree Bernoth has been listening to families’ stories for more than a decade.
“The stories are more heartbreaking and more incredible,” she said.
“It’s very difficult to listen to these stories and to not be angry and to not feel impotent because you can’t do anything about it.
“Why is it that experiences of families who are telling us about older people dying in pain, older people dying malnourished and dehydrated, does not get the same response from the Australian public as cattle being shipped overseas?”
New minister admits she’s ‘not fully across’ all the issues
Repeated surveys find that 20 to 50 per cent of nursing home residents are malnourished, and the Australian Medical Association says there are not enough doctors to visit residents.
The Nursing Federation says there are not enough properly trained carers, while Palliative Care Australia says only one in five residents receive proper palliative care.
Lateline approached the Aged Care Standards and Accreditation Agency for an interview. The organisation declined.
Senator Collins said it was critical Australia had a strong aged care system and an effective complaints mechanism.
“I’m a new minister. I’m not fully across all of the indicators that the accreditation agency looks at,” she said.
“I’m yet to have a detailed conversation with them about what outcomes they’re measuring, what else is available through academic work, through the consultative bodies that we have in place in aged care.
“But we have had a strong system in aged care in terms of accreditation, monitoring and complaints processes, and on the whole, that system has been working reasonably well.
“But we need to grow the system, we need to grow the quality, we need to improve the workforce and that is the plan that went through the Senate a couple of weeks ago.
“We need to put more investment into aged care services, which is why we roughly doubled it. We need to increase that investment into the future.
“The alternative, under a Tony Abbott government, would be aged care would not be immune from the other cuts that we’ll see roll out.” <
My eyes fills with tears for them & their family & current victims & their families suffering through the same BRUTAL abuses for a host of others to justify a living.
What is your profession Richard?

Siv.

Those with dementia are routinely chemically restrained with psychotropic drugs as a means to keep them subdued and to limit care taking. These drugs are prohibited from use on the elderly and especially those with known dementia issues. This is one of the pieces of elder abuse that really upsets me. The increased damage to mental processes should be considered as what it actually is: Assault …

Marti,
I prefer Isolate, Defame, Liquidate. Those with dementia never are medicated and many are incarcerated in lock down facilities and never medicated. Legitimate estate document holders and families members are ALWAYS defamed to justify the predatory actions.
We need to elevate “family dysfunction” as the convenient scapegoat in ALL cases. Dysfunction is as old as Cain and Able.
