It’s now 2020 and having recently buried BOTH parents in a joint funeral, I know how this euthanasia band waggon is getting worse. Death row slaughters if abused vulnerable elderly who have done nothing more than work hard and EARN the right ro proper health. What they paid for all by heir lives. Dra are now using DNR to fast track deaths past the coroner. (Eyes closed coroner at that) it’s all become tight. Nobody offers help. Too scared to speak up. <br />Yet families sit back while fake diagnosis are thrown out like seeets. Medications make patients look ill so they are viable for the pathway which makes the trust money! <br />More time is spent on data than actually caring. More legal work in the health board than medical staff. <br />Hitlers T4 is still alive. Under the guise of palliative care.<br />We called that the Holocaust. <br />This will be known as the purge years. They should all hold their heads in shame. Causing pain and suffering. Leaving family in bits, in shock in fear themselves.

My mom di...Thank you for writing and sharing this. My mom died of dehydration last December. She had alzheimer's and was 98 years old. Last spring the family was gathered and told she was no longer eating or drinking. Shocked, I determined to sit with her day and night if necessary. Fortunately, when I arrived at the care home, I found a glass of thickened juice on her bedside table. When I offered it to her, she drank fairly well. She finished off two more glasses within the next few hours. One particular nurse told me, well, it was not necessary to sit with her for the next few days, until she became really weak - a very strange thing to say? My mother ate and drank when she wanted to until December 26, 2017. Then, suddenly, again she was not doing well. I went immediately to the nursing home, hoping to help hydrate her and make sure she was okay. I got there, and the same "particular nurse" forbade me to give her anything to drink, saying that if "they, the experts" couldn't get her to drink, I couldn't try: the risk for aspirating the fluid into her lungs was too great. I thought it very strange that all of a sudden her swallowing ability was so compromised. My hands were tied. My brother was to make any decisions and was hostile, as where the staff, to my concerns about my mother's care.<br /><br />I sat with her that night until she slept - and left then to get my own sleep. In the morning, first thing, I called the unit. I was informed my mother's doctor had written an order that my mother was to receive no more food or drink or oral medications. I was numb.<br /><br />My mother died 2 days later. Thanks be to God, she was relatively peaceful and relaxed. She was given "pain medication", and medication to help her go off to sleep at night. My brother and sister and I sat with her, sometimes taking turns. Both my brother and sister are completely ignorant about euthanasia and what it is all about. Both of them are almost incredulous that this could be a problem.<br /><br />It wasn't until later that I realized - for almost certain - that my mother was euthanized. It is true, she died peacefully. It is true, she was read to go, it seemed. It is also likely true that that nurse outright lied, in order to cause my mother's death. It seems SHE made a decision to stop the fluids, not because of any real danger of aspiration (it was so suddenly a factor, an never explained). This "particular nurse", in effect, killed my mother on purpose.<br /><br />My mother is likely at peace now. She lived a long life, a hard life. I hope and pray she is now in heaven.<br /><br />The nurse continues to practice her trade. Perhaps this is not new to her.<br /><br />The fact remains: she deliberately killed my mother - with nobody's consent. <br /><br />I will never be able to discuss this with any of my family. They are far too blind and naive. It is a burden I carry, deep in my heart - and it won't ever go away. I pray for that nurse. I pray for those who have to participate in what they know is wrong. I pray for our country, which allows such things legally, even. It is utter insanity for people to kill each other. It is irrational, and cannot be justified - ever - if you are completely honest with yourself and others. It is not natural for a nurse or doctor to kill their patients - it is evil and indefensible.<br /><br />All I can do with the pain I have - knowing my own mother was euthanized very deliberately - is to help in any way I can, to stand up for the sanctity of human life - from conception to natural death. It is just never okay to kill another human being.<br /><br />Peace be to all!MMBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216787076261944467.post-73698316485943674702018-02-09T14:46:39.643-05:002018-02-09T14:46:39.643-05:00Oh wow, folks!

My father was left to die of thirst and starvation in hospital because his brain was not sending the message to swallow, when food was in his mouth. However, he could swallow as an automatic reflex. This swallowing problem happened after his seventh stroke. The doctor said she couldn’t do anything for him after seeing the brain scan and we should let him die peacefully, with the aid of medication like morphine. Throughout his stay in hospital, we did not allow the doctors or nurses to administer any morphine and were by his bedside about 18 hours a day. He had a strong heart, he lasted 10 days after they disconnected the drip,The drip was disconnected just one day after his admission and I asked the doctor to leave the drip in for just seven days, at a low setting to see if his condition would improve. She said, NO and that his body could no longer handle the drip, which was a lie.The previous night after an ultrasound, the nurse told us his bladder was working perfectly. Also, his blood tests were pristine and the Xray showed his lungs were clear. All the hospital team kept insisting to give him drugs to help him die. I felt helpless, I expected hospitals to save peoples lives not help people die. He could still hear us well but couldn’t see and on his right side, he lost use of his arm and leg, so he was bed bound. Before this latest stroke, my mother and I looked after him at home for 18 months - even though he was bed bound, we got him on the wheelchair every day and he had a shower every second day. After other strokes, he always eventually improved slightly, but this time he was not given a chance. I also felt, I was lied to in hospital because as soon as the doctor saw the brain scan, she said his body will start shutting down. I don’t think this was an accurate assessment. The truth is, his body was shutting down when he became dehydrated and starved of nutrition. He was only 75 years old. This seems like common practice in hospitals. I hope I don’t have to go to hospital as an elderly patient. I would just rather die at home. My argument is, if a patient is going to die, at least let them die hydrated and with some nutrition. Don't let dehydration and no nutrition itself be the cause of death.Also, during all these strokes when my mother immediately called the ambulance, I don’t understand why he was not given blood thinning medication to prevent brain damage in the first couple of hours. By the time all the tests are done in the hospital, it is too late and the brain damage has occurred. All of my fathers strokes related to blood clotting, not internal bleeding.The death certificate we received was also innaccurate. It stated my father died from a stroke, when really, he died from dehydration and lack of nutrition, eleven days after having a stroke.My mother told me if the doctor has sent my father to the grave early, she will one day pay for this.Elderly people should be wary of hospitals. They should try to stay on top of their health by visiting their doctor regularly and taking their medication regtularly, to minimise the need to go to hospital.

If it was less than 8 hours I don't think they were put on an IV.) Their stats were taken every 2 hours, so if their O2 levels were low, they were automatically put onto Oxygen, and the nurses definitely monitored and treated them for pain if they had any. And most times they slipped into a coma, and then into the next life a day or two later. <br />We took so much love and care for the resident whenever we went into the palliative care room because we knew that their next breath might be their last breath. We handled them like they were made of the finest bone china every time they were turned, changed, given oral care, or whatever they needed. And we cried when they passed away, because we lost a member of our family. We were lovingly known as "Heaven's Waiting Room" because of how well our residents were looked after, especially in their last few precious moments. It was a Holy place, God's presence was so strong in that room as He was waiting there to take them Home... That is what palliative care should be. Not this appalling negligence which is really disguised murder. This just breaks my heart because I know what Care looks like, and this clearly wasn't Care.

He had a mild stroke age 78, and was doing very well,then 6 weeks post stroke he was sleeping every time we went to visit, Our family thought he must be so tired and we would go home again "Oxycodone". At 9 weeks the Dr was in his room when we arrived and he said in front of my Dad, what do you want me to do for him, ??? Bewildered me and my sibling looked at each other dumbfounded, "Like he is the DR", My husband turned to the Dr and said, excuse me sir, what do you mean, he repeated himself and said what do you want me to do for Albert? My husband said, what would you do if it was me, The Dr replied, well, we would go all the way. My husband said, well you do the exact same for Albert, no more and no less. Two days later we received a phone call from hospital saying he had died and they were trying to resuscitate him, get here fast. When we arrived after 40 minute fast drive we were taken into a small room and they said "He had died of Dehydration".they resuscitated him but wanted us to make him Palliative, as they did not want to resuscitate him again due to his age, said he could get broken ribs or brain damage . We asked what palliative meant, they said oh we will still care for Albert but we wont subject him to any more tests or active treatment. We said Oh OK, if you think that's best. Following morning they moved him to another room, hooked him up to a morphine drip, and IV fluids,he never spoke or opened his eyes again, I slept the night at the hospital and his chest was making a noise that sounded like a kettle bubbling, next morning he projectile vomited up blood. He was dead 3 hours later. I told my Dr I think they killed him, he told me They bury the dead and I would never understand the medical terminology if i got the records, to investigate what happened. I believe it is criminal. I don't know what to do. The Dr rang me and said he wrote died of chest infection on his death certificate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216787076261944467.post-56859863726375639892016-05-18T15:07:43.843-04:002016-05-18T15:07:43.843-04:00I have just watched my mother die in a very simila...I have just watched my mother die in a very similar way, she was 90 and it took 10 days. To watch a parent die and feel completely helpless to help her is the worst thing. She fought so hard to live and she could swallow but it took me 2 days to get one nurse to volunteer the information that they can give her some jellied water, which she took willingly several spoonfuls, but because they kept her out of it with the morphine we could not always give it to her.<br />I cannot help but think that because she was the age she was they thought that she was not worth the cost of trying to save her. I did not know enough about strokes and what could or could not be done. She could swallow, her right side was affected but there was slight movement in her arm and leg, less in the arm and she had no control of her speech just a noise from her throat and she could move her tongue and nod yes and no.<br />To leave people to die of dehydration and starvation is inhumane. We as their children have to live with this and wondering what if she had survived, could or should we have done more how much would she of recovered, could she of coped? I will never get over this feeling of letting her down.<br /><br />Helen uk<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216787076261944467.post-78334744602456637602015-02-11T13:42:13.873-05:002015-02-11T13:42:13.873-05:00I want to add a comment about morphine.At very hig...I want to add a comment about morphine.At very high sudden doses morphine can create respiratory problems.

My sister Janet Rivera took care of her in her last years and I was taking care of my terminally ill Brother. What you experienced stressed my out greatly because it made me relive what was happening to Janet back in 2008. What is wrong with her other children! Your mother cared for them as babies and would never let any harm come to them. It sickens me to hear about family members indifference. Thank GOD you were there when she needed you.

I am so sad and sorry that your mother and you were treated so horribly in the hospital. You see your story is so similar in so many ways to that of our dear dad and our family. I tell our story to anyone who will listen and most times others relate their own eerily similar and tragic story of a loved one. We knew what had happened to our dad and our family was not a unique story, but I had no idea just how often this is happening. So many tragic accounts that I have even considered documenting them. <br /> <br />There is something so corrupt happening and the corruption is resulting in unnecessary death.<br /> <br />My father was labelled with Alzheimers. Although, upon more detailed research, after the fact, we believe he was inaccurately labelled. He had some cognitive impairment. With much time and effort from our family (tireless efforts from my brother) he was actually able to re learn many things. And just months before he had the misfortune of ending up in the hospital he sat in the living room with us and stated “I am just happy to be sitting here with my family”. He was a happy and positive man and loved to connect with people. Quality of life for sure. Quality of life that was stolen from him and our family. He trusted us to take care of him the best we could and we did. But we were not prepared for the onslaught at the hospital and seemed powerless to help him there.<br /> <br />My dad’s story in the hospital is quite lengthy and involved so will not go into detail here. <br />We firmly believe that they withheld the proper medical care because of his Alzheimer label. That was confirmed to us even more so, once we obtained a copy of his medical file from the hospital. The medical file consisting of pages of notes from doctors and nurses -, purposeful and prejudicial entries with no foundation in truth and also purposeful omissions. Much time spent making notes. Much time… He was denied medical care because of his disability - and as such it would appear he was denied his basic human rights – at least his human rights as they are described in Canada. It is most unlikely that the majority of Alzheimer patients who end up in the hospital for another health issue actually die of Alzheimer’s. And yet it is most likely listed as the cause of death on the death certificate.<br /> <br />There appears to be a serious human rights violation occurring as it relates to disabled Canadians – whether Alzheimer or any other disability. I am not aware of any legislation that allows the removal of those human rights when one enters the hospital. <br /> <br />Kate -Please continue to tell your story about your mom and we will continue to tell ours about our dad. And if we can help even one family from torturous treatment in the hospital and help their loved one to return to their home and be cared for by those who know them best and love them, then we have succeeded – in memory and to the honour of all of those who didn’t make it home.N.S.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216787076261944467.post-7310360024178444932011-09-29T10:06:23.730-04:002011-09-29T10:06:23.730-04:00Rob Jonquire is the current leader of the World Fe...Rob Jonquire is the current leader of the World Federation of Right to Die Societies and the former leader of the Dutch Euthanasia Society.<br /><br />Rob reduces the pain of Kate's mothers death to poor palliative care.

In this circumstance the natural process of death requires, at some point, that fluids be withdrawn in order to prevent suffering.<br /><br />Kate Kelly's mother had a mild stroke, she was not otherwise dying, she was not experiencing organ failure, but rather a decision was made, by others, that her life was not worth living.<br /><br />This also occurs in the Netherlands.Alex Schadenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649977828342637842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216787076261944467.post-42760182353655167062011-09-28T05:40:11.135-04:002011-09-28T05:40:11.135-04:00This story proves again that whenever, where ever ...This story proves again that whenever, where ever and whatever sort of end-of-life decisions are made, too many are still resulting in ill-treatment through incompetence of the caregivers! It proves again that lack of transaparancy on any decision and lack of openess is at the basis of these incompetences: when something is a "taboo" caregivers don't talk but do.<br />I am real sorry to read about this dying of Kate Kelly's mother; I am NOT saying this is a clear case pro euthanasia. I am saying Kelly's mother has been given very bad, insufficient palliative care, where the caregivers used morphine in the wrong way (calculating on the double effect??), causing side effects which resulted in this unwanted outcome: a terrible death!<br />I am not a fervent supporter of VSED, certainly not in all cases. The person must to begin with have the serious wish him/herself knowing the consequences; (s)he must be nearly moribound, barely be eating and drinking already, before starting the process of VSED at all. And... most important: good professional and competent guidance with optimal palliative care should have been arranged and available day and night.<br />It is a pity that Alex is using this story as a proof for the dangerous developments in the end-of-life decisions (a n=1 study) and not as a signal that Palliative Care failed in this case and thus that also providers of Palliative Care need education and transparancy.<br />I know cases (more then one for that) of VSED with late Alzheimer's where the patient received professional Palliative Care with VSED and died quietly and humanely; in a country where through (or at least since) legalisation of euthanasia, Palliative Care has been developed to a very high ranking (both in availablity and in quality) in the world, and where thus all end-of-life decisions (from "let nature take its role" via "palliative care/sedation" to "euthanasia or physician assisted suicide") are mostly seen as an issue to be talked about when appropriate.Rob Jonquièrenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216787076261944467.post-33133436955077500822011-09-27T22:35:21.281-04:002011-09-27T22:35:21.281-04:00Your story greatly distressed me.

That you held her hand and let her know that you loved her was a blessing, not only for her but for the nursing staff who witnessed it. I know it must have taken a great toll on you, but I honor you for what you did. You are laying your treasures up in heaven.octopusmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15663832385415201258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216787076261944467.post-4890069356010651292011-09-27T20:49:47.639-04:002011-09-27T20:49:47.639-04:00I once had to be at work as a patient died this wa...I once had to be at work as a patient died this way after his father convinced his mother that their son would not want to live as he was living. I was not "allowed" to be put in his "pod" when they started his "dying" process as I had objected to the whole thing. Though he could not respond to us verbally & we could discern no meaningful eye movement responses, he had a fairly normal sleep/wake cycle & he would look at us as we cared for him. He was a teenager at the time & had suffered a brain infection. He had recovered to the point that he could survive with food & water via g-tube, and breath on his own with a tracheostomy tube, but could not walk, talk or respond. When they decided to let him go by starvation. I had objected along with one other nurse. We were summarily removed from his care list. We were assured that he would at least be afforded fluids. That was on a Friday. I was off for the weekend. When I returned on Monday I found out that his fluids were stopped that Friday night. So he went for 3 days without fluids. His lips were parched and dry when I saw him next. It was horrible. He lived for 4 days. We had a meeting after his death with the "social worker" & the "doctor". We were assured that he had not been aware for months & "did not suffer". I asked him if he had ever been in that condition himself? He said "no". I replied with "well how do you know?" He didn't answer me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216787076261944467.post-37668055681027476332011-09-27T14:29:23.447-04:002011-09-27T14:29:23.447-04:00I am so sorry.

As a result of that, I promised my mother that I would fight for her to receive IV fluids and nutrition should she become unable to eat and drink. She would not die of forced starvation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
