Just read that the THIRD leading cause of death, behind Heart Attacks and Cancer, is HOSPITALIZATION! Those who can avoid medical “care” today are blessed. You may end up living longer without it, than with it.
Hard to make a judgement on this. Maybe these patients were beyond help. Innocent until proven guilty.
Paging Dr. Kevorkian.
This goes on all the time. I don’t know the specific dosages etc.. but from what I understand, hospitals and hospices easing the process of death not just by alleviating pain but also by actually speeding it up by high dosages of painkillers (and by withholding food, water and antibiotics) is nearly universal. And it goes on in “Catholic” hospitals despite the withholding of those essentials being clearly contrary to Catholic teaching.
I suspect all geriatric specialists do this. It’s called palliative sedation. If a patient is near death and in pain, keep giving them more pain killer until it relieves their pain.
I have mixed feelings about this. Life is sacred but it is also inhumane to leave the dying to suffer in pain.
But this sounds very much like murder.
