FELONIOUS ASSAULT!

FELONIOUS ASSAULT!

A lot of the nonsense that goes on inside the borders of “America’s Friendliest Hometown” is nothing but a lot of arrogant spoiled brats showing their own selfishness and stupidity. However sometimes, the actions of America’s most spoiled adult children turns downright nasty and ugly.

Until she traded her stethoscope for a professor’s mortarboard my wife spent 20 years as an ER and ICU Nurse. When we first arrived in TV she spent a few months in the ER at The Villages Regional Hospital. TVRH is a place where the inmates run the asylum. Villagers are allowed to abuse doctors, nurses, aides and other hospital personnel with impunity. The hospital administration when faced with a choice of standing up for their employees or giving in to the outrageous demands or inappropriate behavior of the spoiled brats, will throw their employees under the bus each and every time. It is an institution where you can literally have your professional reputation ruined for refusing to get a cup of coffee for a whiny Villager visitor while you are busy saving someone else’s life.

During her tenure at TVRH my wife was regularly cursed at, threatened and treated like garbage. At one point when she was working feverishly to help a Villager in cardiac arrest she was called a “piece of shit nurse” by the patient as she informed him he would be admitted. The reason for the name calling, because my wife didn’t understand that HE had a 7am tee time the next morning and if she was worth her salt she would have gotten him out on time!

Most hospitals will not tolerate this kind of attitude and abuse of their staff from patients. A number of years ago, my wife had a finger broken by an uncooperative patient. The result? The hospital had the local cops on hand at the man’s discharge to arrest him on charges of felony assault on a health care worker. As he was released he was cuffed and stuffed and given a room in the house of many doors. At her previous hospital in Baltimore all of the ER staff from doctors on down were given annual hands-on self defense training by gentlemen who were former commandos with the Israeli Defense Forces. An organization with a world-wide reputation for not taking any guff from anybody!

In many northern and western states it is a felony to assault or otherwise hurt a health care provider while they are giving care. This is not so down in the old Confederacy.

Now lest you think that the majority of people who are out of control in TVRH are old, frightened people suffering from various forms of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease you would be incorrect. The people who raise the most hell there are people aged 50-70 who are in “relatively” good mental health but who act like the arrogant spoiled jerks that Villagers are so well known for being.

This brings us to the interesting story of 50 year old Michelle Ludwig of The Villages. According to the on-line newspaper VillagesNews.com, Mizz Ludwig went to The Villages Regional Hospital’s ER seeking an unspecified treatment. During her treatment Mizz Ludwig allegedly kicked one of the attending nurses in the stomach! Thankfully the attack was witnessed by another nurse which will likely keep the assaulted nurse from getting a load of crap for not kissing up to Villager patients from the hospital’s administration.

Sumter County deputies were called who then promptly cuffed and stuffed Mizz Ludwig and hauled her off to the Sumter County Detention Center, where a judge ordered her held without bond. It seems that earlier in November Mizz Ludwig was involved in a motor vehicle accident. When deputies arrived to investigate the MVA, Mizz Ludwig got into an argument with the attending deputies who were forced to taser her to make her behave. She was arrested at the scene and transported to the Sumter County Detention Center where she was charged with battery on a police officer, resisting a police officer and resisting arrest. Her bond for that incident was set at $10,000 which obviously she was able to make.

Stories like this make the vaunted Morse Myth Machine grind and strip its gears as it messes up the narrative that The Villages is God’s heaven come to earth.

Hopefully the nurse who was hurt will recover from her injuries. It is unfortunate that this happened in Florida and not up north where the angry and spoiled Mizz Ludwig would be facing felony charges and hard time for her alleged actions.

My God bless and protect ALL our nurses!
