Dear Knitting,
I guess I don't know what we're debating then...I misunderstood your meaning going way back. I thought you were saying there wasn't going to be morphine in Terri's protocol. (Though I must say, I have never heard of it being given by nebulizer...that's ok, I've been off the career track for many years.) We gave it through a hep lock (IV).
As I said before, I'm concerned that Terri's doctors will push the morphine protocol to speed things up. Is that ethical, probably not, but how ethical has this group been up until now.
I apologize for the misunderstanding. I'm a conservative Catholic too, we are on the same side.
Who is Cheryl Ford? Is she with Terri's Hospice? I have never heard of giving it by neb either. We gave by mouth; very small amount, was absorbed through mucous membranes if they could not swallow.
I don't like this at all....poor Terri.....not even being given an opportunity to relay if she is uncomfortable and needs it or not....
Does anyone know if her family, the one that loves her, is being allowed any visitation at this time. To die alone without the people that love you there.....how awful.
Yes! We are on the same side!
I just saw someone wondering about the drug protocol, and I had been hearing some people wondering if they would use morphine, and I suspect morphine is sop...and like you, I wonder if they are going to be liberal with its usage to hurry things along.
I have made a promise to God to go down fighting if I have to, but I will not be quiet about the inhumane things done like this!
What's next, putting down Alzheimer's and Parkinson's patients?
