Queen Catherine Parr

World-class historian, musician, & political advocate dumped at a shelter by Shady Grove Hospital. Shelter admits they can't care for my broken ankle. Sent me to the hospital who discharged me without getting my signature. Laura Butler (LCSW) ignored neurological emergency. Couldn’t answer what Akathisia was—just that it was “restlessness”. And I had to correct her.

And don’t get me started on the psych who said Akathisia isn’t a nuerological disorder. And then the neurologist who thought he could profile me and asked if I was on street drugs, had bipolar or diabetes who couldn’t even pronounce “Akathisia”. These people abandoned me when they knew they couldn’t gaslight me. I’ve been studying my disorders for years. A lot of the staff got attitudes and walked out of the room when I was still talking. Acted like my chronic conditions weren’t real and that I was just misbehaving. It’s a documented disorder that is life threatening.

I also was also told by Ms Butler that I could walk and use a wheelchair in a shelter that does not accommodate people in wheelchairs. This is against ADA and is illegal under SB 493.

This is how Maryland treats descendants of the founders of this state—like we are disposable.

Ms Butler mocked me and made fun of me. Refused to get me into a rehab or facility that will take care of me. This isn’t the first time they have treated a disabled woman with contempt and neglect. Another woman here who suffers from fibromyalgia, was told by the hospital that she wasn’t in pain and could return to the shelter.

This is vile and disgusting. It is UNACCEPTABLE to dump and abandon a disabled person into a shelter that cannot accommodate a person with multiple disabilities and a fractured ankle.
I am also the victim of family abuse that no one will step in and put a stop to! The man my mom married stripped me of all my possessions and is now threatening to get rid of my cats which is ILLEGAL. He is also abusing my elderly mother and has been holding her hostage from seeing or talking to me. Montgomery County APS failed to investigate and left me in a hotel where I was starved along with my cats and basically held hostage by my abuser. This is VILE.

I’m looking at lawyers to sue Shady Grove. They didn’t even get my signature at discharge as I did not consent to being sent back here and then threatened me with trespassing if I didn’t leave. Laura Butler should lose her license over this. She knew she wasn’t following the law when I started recording as well. Only someone who is doing something illegal refuses to be filmed.

If you’re homeless — they don’t give a s**t about you in Maryland. But oh yeah, way to reduce the opioids being dispensed to chronic pain patients thanks to GOV Moore and the Democrats who still think there is an opioid crisis. Giving someone Tylenol for a fracture while denying a patient medicinal cannabis prescribed by a doctor which is now a Schedule III (same category as Tylenol) for her chronic conditions is also negligence. Gov Moore, what the f**k are you doing to help me? I voted for you!

SHADY GROVE ADVENTIST PATIENT DUMPING
By Meg McGath

Shady Grove Adventist is currently attempting to 'patient dump' me back into the shelter system against my consent and in direct violation of the ADA.

I am a chronically ill patient with a fracture and a mobility boot. I cannot physically wheel myself around a warehouse several times a day to get medication, eat, use the bathroom, shower or perform basic Activities of Daily Living (ADLs).

Despite this, a hospital LCSW is trying to force a discharge to a warehouse shelter where I will be left to fend for myself with zero accessibility. They are making these life-altering decisions behind my back, ganging up on me in my hospital room, and ignoring my physical distress from my chronic conditions and leave me to suffer in my room all alone. I am screaming and crying and they have just left me here all alone with no one to help me. This hospital doesn’t care about treating people with respect or dignity.

By forcing me to a warehouse shelter, they are violating the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) by discharging an unstable patient who cannot care for herself.

This is not healthcare; it is coercive control. They are trying to 'dispose' of a human being because they don't want to provide the rehab or ADA-compliant placement I am legally entitled to. They think they can silence a world-renowned historian and musician, but I am not disposable. This is making my chronic conditions flare and I feel sick to my stomach. This is all the result of my family disposing me into the shelter system where they can’t take care of me. This is against the law. They act like I don’t have any chronic conditions and did not consult me on this and told me that no one would help me and I have to learn how to wheel myself around.

I am in acute pain and respiratory distress. I do not consent to this discharge. I cannot physically navigate the facility they are sending me back to. If they move me against my will, they are committing medical negligence and patient dumping.

My ancestor, Thomas Greene Esq, is featured in this documentary on the founding of Maryland.

Thomas was the 2nd Proprietary Governor of Maryland. He came over on The Ark and The Dove in 1634 with the Calverts, who were granted Maryland by King Charles I of Great Britain.

The Maryland proprietorship also carried with it the Barony of Baltimore. The 1st Baron, George Calvert, Lord Baltimore, had planned Maryland as a refuge for Catholics. He died five weeks before the new charter was sealed in 1632, leaving the settlement of the colony to his son, Cecil Calvert.

Cecil’s younger brother, Leonard Calvert, sailed for the New World on The Ark and The Dove. Among those on board was my ancestor, Thomas Greene. The settlers landed in what is now St. Mary’s County in southern Maryland. Leonard, Maryland’s 1st Governor, later appointed Greene as the colony’s 2nd Governor.

Thomas Greene married a gentlewoman named Ann Cox. Author Harry Wright Newman states that “Mistress Ann Cox” was one of the few “gentlewomen” on the initial voyage of the Ark and the Dove from England to Maryland. In a footnote, he explains: “Mistress was a title of courtesy and respect and was the 17th-century style of addressing unmarried ladies of position.” “Mrs. Ann Cox” also received a special grant of 500 acres from Lord Baltimore in 1633. Thomas and Ann were married in 1634 on the banks of the St. George River. Their marriage is considered the first Christian marriage performed in Maryland.

Greene was a close friend of Gov. Leonard Calvert and Father Thomas Copley, the Jesuit priest. Copley was a grandson of Sir Thomas Copley (1534–1584), who was kin to Queen Elizabeth I through her mother, Anne Boleyn.

Thomas and Ann Greene’s younger son — and my ancestor — was named Leonard Greene, likely after Leonard Calvert, who is believed to have been his godfather.

Leonard Greene held land known as Greene’s Rest and was involved in patented land called Green’s Inheritance in Charles County. He served as a deputy sheriff, burgess, legislator, and planter, and resided at the family plantation, Greene’s Rest. He married Anne Clarke, and they had several children, including Mary Greene, my ancestor. He died in 1688.

It was a good documentary.

Parr's renowned good looks and elegance were skilfully captured by Holbein, who made copious notes about his dress and jewels on this drawing.
