"Can you imagine going into the hospital for something minor and ending up in the morgue?"

Unfortunately, I can imagine such a thing. When Dad was in Naples Community Hospital, 3 out of 4 of his doctors recommended that we disconnect his ventilator EVEN THOUGH THEY HADN"T EVEN TRIED TO WEAN HIM FROM IT!! The day after his surgery, my mother and sister insisted that we disconnect him "because he can't get any better". (How can one tell if someone can get better when the anesthesia still hasn't worn off?) One social worker insisted that I and my pro life siblings were in denial about Dad's condition and what he would want. It was just that barrage of "Kill him, kill him, kill him" that prompted us to insist that he be taken off of all meds for a day and then to ask him what HE wanted. When he said he wanted to live, we thought that would settle things. Little did we know.

The culture of death in the hospital is predominant, not secondary. For many of them, it ain't about healing, baby.

I am still so sorry about what you had to endure. It is awful that the death cultists are so entrenched in our society. :-(
