Big Brother Zero is trying to get us used to the idea of pulling the plug on Granny. No doubt about it. Putting out scenarios where a choice would be necessary. Just like abortion in the sixties: “back alley abortions, 16 year olds dying” “girls having to cross state lines to get an abortion” etc. Worked then. Or Saturday Night Specials, which wound up banning a number of inexpensive well made pistols.
This did not just start with 0.
My son has had to be on a vent 3 times in his 30 yrs.
I have had pro Life docs and an equal share of end his suffering now docs.
It maybe just a little more out in the open with the internet and the times we are in.
My advice to anyone with an aging parent or disabled loved on is keep on top of their care and stay as far from a hosp. that you can unless it is for life saving measures.
It may take a good part of the day but cleanliness/hygeine is a huge factor when taking care of the severly disabled.
We meet others all the time when we are out and about may only meet at that one time but we talk or they talk and we exchange ideas at that time then move along.
Common sense and being self reliant is the best approach IMO.
Come flu season we will (as I have continually posted) flip our grocery runs ect to times on the clock that dont coincide with the population at large.
It is doable living in a small community.
And everyone communicates the health bugger of the day.
Right now allergies are horrible for all but for my son green trach mucous is not just viral related so we take a sample and either drop it of at the Lab or the lab is more that happy to drop by and pick it up if we cannot get out.
I understand hosp/rehab placement is sometimes unavoidalbe but we do are best to stay clear of the Docs office/ER ect....
We have a good Doc who keeps orders on file with the lab so blood work ect that is what an ER would do is availbable so he dont have to go to an ER.
Not everyone has that option.
Most posts I read here on health are in agreement to my view rest/fluids for many ailments and know if the green is coming up and chest is getting tight get help ect for other syntoms.
The fear mongering that 0 is going to start thinning the herd is not cool.
No one is forcing you to take a lethal injection as St. Kolbe did in Auswitch.
