Alex Reid said conditions in his mother's nursing home were so bad that he was asked, as a scuba diving instructor, to train the staff on how to use oxygen tanks.
Flicking through photos of his late mother Nancy, Alex Reid chuckles at the good memories and rues some bitter ironies.
“They'd put the regulator on backwards and hadn't taken out the cap. I'm actually an oxygen administrator for scuba diving," he told SBS News. "We’re not going to be concerned about making a change that’s going to impact on the profits of our for-profit aged care organisations. ” “How long had she been like this and what would have happened if I was not so attentive," he wrote in an email."Could this have led to another fatality in care?"
