Ask around if you don't know anybody who works in health care, not medical people just those who work around them.

I was hired help in a VA hospital and the things I saw and heard make me distrust most if not all in the medical profession.

They will open your eyes. Doctors not reading patient records, Doctors cutting off, cutting out the wrong tissue and or limbs....proscribing what would be literal poison to people and then covering it up. Nurses overstepping their authority.

Throw in the money made from transplants and the reputation boosts and the ever present money grubbing and hell yes there are abuses and down right criminal activity.

I will say that yes I have know a few who have not succumbed to the money grubbing mentality and who still honor their oaths to heal the sick.

But on the whole anyone who blindly believes what some in the medical fields say to them are just setting them selves up as cannon fodder to the medical pharmacological mega corporations who don't give a dam about anything other then profit. In god we trust all others we verify, investigate and watch them like our lives dependent on it AND THEY DO.

Oh and here's a thought for you, in some locals...... and this happens across the country and the world. With out consent "Illegally" -- Body parts, tissue, skin and bones are routinely harvested by hospital morgues, city, county and even at funeral homes.

In some countries they type and cross match prisoners when they are set to be executed..... main land china and the ccp are past masters of this. They have made it in to an assembly line operation......

So be aware that if you sign a Donor card or do not make your preferences known to your family or friends. That you could be Donor-ed to death and striped like stolen car.

I think you should be able to work out a payment plan for what your insurance did not cover when you only had your ankle set. A major cardiac event might however trigger a “spare parts” discussion with the billing office.

“We need to broaden the definition of death.”

“but in medicine there are only two reasons a person can be declared dead:”

.

1: Democrat = already ground into hamburger meat.

2: Republican = Closes his eyes for a second after standing up from bench pressing 280 lbs.

.

What do you think all bidens MISSING children are being used for? Look up UN child organ harvesting. Plenty of stories and documentaries esp abt cartels doing this too. Ejther that or sex trafficking.

Remember the raid on the CA weed farm? Why do you think those 14 year old GIRLS were there? To service the men during the day.

Anyone sentenced to death should be an automatic organ donor

Proggies never try to redefine words unless in doing so they can (1) accrue power, and (2) put the screws to people they don’t like. Prove me wrong.

The real question to ask is, “Is this person still dead?”

How ghoulish life becomes when people stop believing in a God Who has a plan for them, His loving care and wise Judgment, and the afterlife. For the believer, this world is not our home.

Larry Niven wrote a short story on this many years ago. Unfortunately, I cannot remember its or the book’s name.

Prescient of course, that’s Larry Niven.

Basically, the problem of rejection and compatability was solved so in order to supply the now endless demand for organs minor crimes and misdemeanors were classified as capital offences....
