Florida is NOT a state to grow old in. People who could care less about YOU make the call whether you live or die regardless of your true medical condition.
We found out the hard way ... when they "sedate" you and you are terminal via cancer etc. - "sedation" means to put you under just BELOW the legal limit of murdering you. They deny the person HYDRATION and FOOD and just enough pain killers to avoid the legal limit of murder. In other words the patients death is sped up to give the bed to the next person.
This happened to an in law on mine in a HOSPICE called HOPE HOSPICE in FORT MEYERS Florida. THIS is how they operate. We thought they were just calming her down by "sedating" her. What made her upset was being there. She had a change of mind and wanted to die at home rather than there. In her rush to get dressed and leave, she slipped and fell. The nurses mistook this for being "hysterical". She wasn't. She was in a rush to leave and not having the full use of her legs and slipping is what upset her.
The doctor immediately "sedated" her. She remained "sedated" for seven more days - never closing her eyes since she was "sedated". It was horrible beyond words. When her husband realized something was wrong ... not blinking he demanded he "bring her back" so she could leave and die at home - the doctor refused.
Florida is one of the WORST states if not the worst state to be old and in poor health. It's a death factory down there.
If you are "old and in poor health", you go to a hospital. The hospitals in Florida are excellent.
If you are dying and have less than six months to live, you go to a hospice. See the difference?
