They have to take organs while the heart is still beating, that’s why “brain death” is the criteria for death in these cases, not cardiac arrest.
So then whats the problem?
I knew a shrink.
Specialized in family relationships counseling.
She divorced.
Became a lesbian.
Soured on traditional religion so became a pagan (”Godess”, etc).
Wanted her share of an inheritance sooner rather than later, so used her connections to elder abuse her own Mom to a premature death.
And continues a busy practice to this day.
You want HER in charge of peoples’ ability to speech as they wish (or anything else)?
Not sure about her drug habits if any, but seems people in the medical industry have a higher incidence of drug abuse.
“Quack, quack..”
This would toss, of course — Joan of Arc, Thomas Paine, Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln .... Great idea, buddy, total conformity.
I was considering checking yes on organ donations, but I think the euthanasia crowd is very much involved in that. Quick to pull the plug if there is someone who REALLY needs your kidney — fresh — and you are not looking too good. Of course, you could be one of those folks who is in a coma for two months and then comes to life.
The more I investigated it, the more I decided I would NEVER check that box. Sounds ‘nice,’ but it is evil.
Nothing against shrinks but they always make me think of David Steinberg in the sombrero on the old Smothers Brothers Show. LOL!!! I know. That was many, many moons ago.
Dear Dr. Joe,
The kinds of discussions you speak of should be a daily part of your practice with your patients. You should encourage them to have advance care directives, and durable powers of attorney for medical decisions. That’s for you and your patient to discuss and decide. But in no uncertain terms - those discussions should NEVER, EVER happen as a result of a government mandate. The government should NEVER have a say in someone’s care choices. Try standing up for that doctor.
Regards,
Me.

I know a psychiatrist here in Nashville who is a sorta Christian conservative.
I know another one who was a contemporary of Tim Leary and Dick Alpert and is a certifiable nut.

He’s a licensed, gooberment approved, Quack. Actually, Uncle Siggie was right about at least the shrink under discussion - “Man is polymorphously perverse”.
Didn’t the Soviets try to use psychiatrists to classify political dissidents as “mentally unstable”?

Me too. No more Obamas, Clintons or Pelosis.
Sounds like he thinks Gov. Palin and her kind should be rounded up, put on trains, and conveniently sent to take a “shower” so they could permanently shut the h*ll up.
Another enlightened intellectual... thrilling.
America ‘on revaluation of her medication found she no longer needed half of it.’ but then that would crimp the drug industry’s profits a mite, eh?
This guy is advocating a ‘concerned passivity’ approach regarding the increasingly bold power grabs by the party in power right now. If the public does not roll over and accept what’s handed to them, like a trained dog, then they are ‘irrational’ or ‘divisive’. So what? Typical all-purpose democrat script, the same to be found anywhere from the White House to LGF. Tiresome, and fallacious to boot.
Glad he’s not my family doctor.
