Oh yeah!

I asked her, "Is it policy to consider next of kin to be a grandaughter over a brother or sister?"

She nutted up like Fort Knox.

I bet they are more careful-- at least for a little while...

After what the nursing home did to my grandma-- I will NEVER STOP THE FIGHT!

NEVER!

[Fred Nerks]

The only thing about this entire hospice situation that 'stinks' is the fact that next of kin are able to admit relatives in need of medical care to a facility that sees its primary function as assisting them to DIE instead of providing the medical care they need to LIVE!
The judge in this case was obviously aware of the danger in admitting this woman to a hospice, why else would he have stipulated that she be given nutrition?
Can you imagine being admitted to a hospital with a doubt in your mind they would FEED you without an order from a judge?
Wake up, your entire hospice culture in the US is suspect.

Thanks for the link - terrifying.

and every time I see this particular photo of Terri, it's wrenches my heart. It was taken while she was getting therapy and I challenge anyone to look at her and say - "vegetable" - she was benefiting from therapy...but after being thrown away and denied not only therapy or medical care for colds, infections, NO stimulation like wheelchair rides outside, radio only on one station, limited visitors, etc etc - I challenge anyone to lie in a bed, in a tiny shaded room for a decade - to not go insane (Terri didn't ) let alone improve...criminal beyond belief. I have to believe "revenge is mine, sayeth the Lord."

You don't know that's true the ONLY person who has put out any information is the Nephew who has not been caring for the grandmother. All of you are relying soley on what he has told you. That in my book stinks. The hospice can't tell you anything it would violate HIPPA. Teh judge really can't tell you anything, he never really made a ruling. Teh only person to tell us anything is KEN. The same ken who is now one radio stations around Georgia complaining about judicial tyranny.

Someone had an alterior motive.

[Fred Nerks]

Heartbreaking. No words can express what I feel when I see her photograph. Murder. They murdered her slowly, by deprivation, and finally starved her to death. Criminal beyond belief, yes.

[Fred Nerks]

Well, I guess you're not the schoolteacher granddaughter, one would at least expect her to be able to spell. So, tell me, what's your motive?
The old lady is in hospital now, she's receiving treatment, all's well that ends well, so why are you so unhappy?

[maine-iac7]

All of you are relying soley on what he has told you. That in my book stinks. ....Teh judge really can't tell you anything, he never really made a ruling...Someone had an alterior motive.

Are you saying that Mae was never entered into the Hospice? Or are you saying that the purpose for Hospice isn't to aid terminal people in their last days? Why do you say the judge made no ruling? ARe we relying "solely" on what the nephew said - does that mean the Mae WASN"T air-lifted to hospital? Are you saying he made everything up? just what ARE you saying?,

You also say"Someone had an alterior motive" (Did you mean "ulterior?")

I am beginning to believe that ...

[eeevil conservative]

just a minor correction...or two...

the Hospice DID tell me something- and HIPPA wasn't an issue becuase I didn't talk to a nurse. I talked to the assistant to the In-House Attorney- that just happen to be out all week after the story hit that the Hospice did NOT act accordingly and made some mistakes when Mae was admitted......

The Judge also told me plenty...

But then... YOU got a letter from a pastor-- so....

Ya know-- I have to be honest- I don't care what anyone's motives are but MY OWN! MY MOTIVES are what I have to live with.

and... never mind-- it's a waste of breath-- think what you want- I stand proud of my actions. I feel very good-- and you can spout and kick and whine and cry all you like-- you can't take that away from me.. after all that is really what you want right? a little contraversy? Can't stand the thought of a Democrat getting our help?

Sad..... very sad...

[judgemc]

I am a democrat. But the facts are not adding up. I am not gettign the same info out of the papers that you are. What side of the country are you on? The only article I've seen says she was not being denied food, she refused a feeding tube on her own, the doctors had only given her a few months to live because of other medical complications not related to but probably caused the aortic dissection that lefet her in an altered state, the grandaughter did have the right to make medical decisions because of her proximity and care that she has given the grandmother, the brother,sister, and nephew have not made any claims to Mae's care in the last ten years when it was turned over to her grandaughter and NOW they want to get involved?

[mother22wife21]

You the man, Schmelvin.

[supercat]

33 generations go back more than 1000 yrs. Just where did those society members come from - their ancestors were who?

Do you think most generations have more than 30 years' age difference between mother and child? Fine, make it 1500 years. Unless you think women were still having children at age 45.

Just ONE pair of common ancestors, out of countless thousands, would result in millions of descendants by now...as the numbers more than double each generation coming back this way.

So? Explain how current inhabitants of two societies separated from each other for 1500 years are going to have any common ancestors within 33 generations (earlier I was assuming 30 years/generation, but I guess it's conceivable a society could theoretically have generations longer than that; I really doubt any society is going to have generations longer than 45 years).

[eeevil conservative]

WOW! there is half the problem. I have no idea where you are getting your info.

okay- what side of the country am I on?

uuuuhhmmm.. the RIGHT side.

refused a feeding tube on her own?

Look Mae's sister has suffered from the same problems as Mae is facing. That is why Kenneth wanted her at UAB. In LaGrange they were talking about doing surgery- and Kenneth has been trying to tell them that surgery is not necessary-- he knows because it was succesful for his own mother.

That is why he agreed to the 2 out of 3 doctors making the decision. He never alerted any media until the doctors went well over 48 hours when they were supposed to get back on it within 24.

You can trust your sources-- that is fine-- but I have been at Frep longer than a day- not much longer-- LOL-- but- and I have done research- reporting- etc- for YEARS! I don't mess around. I don't want a pastor's opinion. I want to talk to the Judge and the Hospice In House Attorney and the client's attorneys, etc.

So trust what you wish...

I do my OWN homework is all. Heck-- I called Bernie McKabe-- had him on the phone within 2 minutes. That is what a reporter does. They go to the source.

[mother22wife21]

You.

[judgemc]

Well, I'm a little closer to the action than you. I'm here.

[eeevil conservative]

oh! okay--lol

so geography proves facts?

Honestly-- how old are you?

And where is "here"

[judgemc]

Do you mean Bernie McCabe? Nice man.

[mother22wife21]

Yes, but, why are you here? You are a democrat.

[eeevil conservative]

yeah-- uhuh-- Bernie is the best-- lol!

I think you make my case...

but thanks for playing...

care to elaborate on "here"

[Lovergirl]

VACANCY @ THE DU HOTEL. LIGHTS ARE FLASHING. HURRY.

[eeevil conservative]

Yes-- he is a democrat on Freep-- Hmmm...

I think he just likes to argue.. notice the circles...

still won't say how old it is though....
