Bingo!
Especially if you “fit the profile” of those whom they deem unsuitable for medical care.
Good post. That’s what I’m afraid of, too.
I was the primary caregiver for my mom and she begged me to make the pain stop - she suffered in pain for so long and finally couldn’t do it anymore. I called hospice that morning, after she asked me to make the pain stop, and they came a few hours later and she had morphine that night. She hadn’t been on hospice prior to that day. She died less than 48 hours later. She was dying and the morphine just helped the pain. She was conscious throughout but wasn’t in pain anymore.
I worry about those who aren’t dying. I didn’t know all the details of the Terri Schiavo situation until last year when I read them here.
Everything I’ve read on Kevorkian (sp) just doesn’t seem right.
