    1. Have read some stories in newspapers. But when I was researching for this topic, OMG! I was shocked at the prevalence of the nursing home abuse!
      Thanks Sarah, glad you liked this story!

    1. While I was reading up for this crime, I came across so many cases which happen to hapless and sick people not only in our country but all over the world.

    1. Oh there are lots of sick and perverted minds who have no qualms in doing something so gruesome to the old and the ill.

  1. WTF!!! Like literally!!! And the thing is it’s not something that happens in fiction but is a part of reality!

    I’m still in shock, Shilpa!

    Absolutely excellent take on this one!

    Cheers

  2. This shook me. It’s so sad but this does happen in reality to do many. Hospitals need to be made more secure for ailing patients
