Silvina worked for 15 days at a nursing home in Mar del Plata two years ago. She was hired to clean, but due to a lack of staff she ended up bathing, treating wounds, and medicating the elderly residents without having any nursing knowledge.

What she saw made her resign. Only one diaper a day per patient, untreated pathogenic waste, poor food, and fewer caregivers than required by law. They asked her to inject insulin and administer medication to elderly people without any medical training, something she herself acknowledges could have put their lives at risk.


There were cameras on 24 hours a day, even in the kitchen, but she was forbidden from talking to her coworkers about what was happening inside. If everything was recorded, why did no one at the nursing home intervene before the scandal became known?
