Hi everyone,
As you know my Dad is now in an EMI nursing home and whilst we have had a few worries on the whole we are ok with home and very happy with the staff looking after Dad.
However when we went to see Dad on Tues he had a bandage of his finger and we were told that he had been bitten bya another resident. Obviously this type of thing happens from time to time and the staff took Dad straight to the hospital for treatment, my concern is that in addition to a tentanus injection and a course of anti biotics Dad was given treatment against hepititus B, the home advised that this was normal with any human bite? Anybody heard of it, the other resident involved in this incident has a room directly accross from my Dad you can see where I am going with this cant you?
