The death panel said NO!

We MUST NOT let an NHS occur here!

you just KNOW this was going to happen sooner or later.

"Hospice" is pure, unadulterated evil.

To look in the eyes of a Hospice nurse is to look in the eyes of Satan himself.

I remember when my 89-ish father-in-law had pneumonia the 40-ish female doctor made a remark to my wife and me that pneumonia was “an old man’s friend”. We both actually loved that old man and were so taken aback by that remark that she repeated it, apparently thinking we would welcome being rid of him and didn’t understand the import of her words. Unfortunately for her, he recovered.

It’s one thing when a patient chooses to forgo further treatment for a difficult cancer and receives only comfort care. It’s quite another when the patient is starved and dried to death. The latter is satanic.

What kind of medical system denies food and water to the sick or dying?

Sometimes. But not always. The problem is, it can be very difficult to tell which ones are evil and which ones aren’t, until after your loved one is dead.

At least they have tort reform/s

A “utilitarian” one.

"Hospice" is pure, unadulterated evil. To look in the eyes of a Hospice nurse is to look in the eyes of Satan himself.

Complete, utter, unadulterated bullsh**.

[Scythian]

Sounds like Gubberment Health Care?

I was outraged until I read that this story took place in England. That’s par for the course in England. The Brits don’t have their socks anymore.

Sad, but the doctor won’t be held liable for his misdiagnosis and, as the Brits see it, he was already old and had some good innings. Anything else is purely sentimental.

Have the Brits lost use of their hind legs?

Not even a decent year’s salary. You don’t have to love jackpots to see this stinks.

Two wrong statements make a right?

Thanks to ACORN, we have Obama to lead our country down that path. Within two years, he will bring American medical care to that level.
