Fed up with being blamed for others’ laziness (rant)

So I work in care with people with learning needs. I love my job. We've had a client in hospital, I collected them on Monday when they were discharged. They have come home with a chest infection despite my efforts to get nursing staff to listen to their chest because they were coughing heavily.

But according to my boss it's all my fault. I'm furious. If boss starts having a go at me I am going to quit on the spot. I've had enough of being exploited and blamed, as well as being harassed and treated like a moron for minimum wage. If I have to go through a few weeks of worse poverty, so be it.
