Summary: This article revolves information about an unnamed veteran dying in February after spending time in the hospital. A report inside a Veterans Affairs hospital located in Florida blaming the staff for leaving in a body of a deceased veteran to decompose in a shower for up to nine hours. They attempted to cover it up and reports showed that the hospital failed to provide appropriate post-mortem care to the body- "falsely documenting" the whole situation. "Unsurprisingly, not a single VA employee has been fired following this incident, despite a clear lack of concern and respect for the veteran. The men and women who sacrificed on behalf of our nation deserve better," Gus Bilirakis said. The administrative investigation board followed up with ordering retraining of the staff.
Analysis: The article was published on December 11, 2016 by FoxNews.com. The article had a more negative tone and wasn't as neutral. It provided information that was believed to be 100% wrong without consequences. This article was written to make us more concerned with hospice care involving the people who previously serve our country. Making it important for the citizens of our country to know and making it more relevant.
Synthesis- This article can be connected to the deleterious effects of hospital care on various patients during the 1800s and before when modern medicine wasn't very prominent-rejection the idea of moderation.
