My uncle was in a nursing facility for late-stage Alzeimers. When my mom went to visit him he was medicated to the point of being a zombie...almost coma-like or catatonic. She fought them tooth and nail against medicating him that heavily. I’m sure it was much more convenient for them to just keep him a drugged-up vegetable and if not for my mom, his sister, they would have gotten away with it...as I’m sure they do all the time with patients that do not have loved ones to fight for them. Despicable.
The speil Hospice gave us was to dope my mother up so she wouldn’t feel pain.
She was actually pretty lucky and not in as much pain as many.
I struggled then..and now..with how much medicine is too much.
On the day she died..she woke up that morning yelling that she was dying. She didnt die until almost 24 hours later.
She didn’t want to be knocked out..but Hospice came and said we should dope her up..and they doped her up...
I guess it is a balance between what the patient wants and what is good for them..I don’t know. Different case in nursing home..they dope you up so they dont have to deal with you..especially Alzheimers patients.
I have something for you to look at...which if you know much about Scientology(and I realize you don’t) shows the depths of their propaganda machine..and their insanity... I will never understand how sane people get mixed up in this cult.

Watch the interview. He sounds believable, right??? IF you don’t know anything about Scientology.
This is Anne Archer’s son who is the spokesperson for Scientology.
While you are watching it...keep these points in mind:
The Disconnection policy is well documented by former members, leaked documents, and court cases and Judges weighing in on it in various countries.
Operation Freakout
“Strange things seem to happen to people who write about Scientology. Journalist Paulette Cooper wrote a critical book on the cult in 1971. This led to a Scientology plot (called Operation Freak-Out) whose goal, according to church documents, was “to get P.C. incarcerated in a mental institution or jail.” It almost worked: by impersonating Cooper, Scientologists got her indicted in 1973 for threatening to bomb the church. Cooper, who also endured 19 lawsuits by the church, was finally exonerated in 1977 after FBI raids on the church offices in Los Angeles and Washington uncovered documents from the bomb scheme. No Scientologists were ever tried in the matter.”

But most importantly, listen to What Tommy Davis says about the claim that Scientology is about getting rid of space aliens to clear oneself...(which by now, you know is exactly what Scientology is about)
This is the propaganda machine in action....
and shows how they lie and spin...
and it is out in full force right now with Jett’s death.
