About 50,000 patients die in a state of malnutrition each year at NHS facilities, according to one recent report. Wait until the Obamacare numbers start rolling in.

Considering the rough population size in the UK is about 60 million 50,000 folks just in Scotland is a big number. It appears to be the de facto standard of care across Scotland.

“Free” Socialist Healthcare is just the government’s way of culling the herd. Once you’ve been used up, you are no longer of any use to the collective.

Growing up it never occured to me that I would have to be afraid of my government when I got older (I'm in my early 50’s) but I am.

It’s probably a lot like the Jews in Europe felt in the 30s and 40s.

When the hospital staff is aware that a patient has difficulty eating, the patients' organization said it expects them to help the patient eat, The Herald reported. That seems so obvious to any rational human being, but psychopaths tend to disagree, loudly and often.

Baroness Warnock: Dementia sufferers may have a 'duty to die'
Elderly people suffering from dementia should consider ending their lives because they are a burden on the NHS and their families, according to the influential medical ethics expert Baroness Warnock.

"Staff would tell me, 'It takes an hour to feed your mother and we don't have an hour,'"Makes you wonder what else they have to do that is more important. I see every day in nursing homes here in the US, feeding and helping residents eat is a major investment of time for the nursing assistants. It is a priority, for just the reasons this article illustrates.
It also helps illustrate why nursing homes are labor intensive and therefore expensive. But the alternative is unacceptible in a civilized nation. Too bad Scotland appears no longer to qualify for that category. Only question is, quo vadis America?

You don't expect the NHS,run by the English,is going to put THEIR race at the end of the line for rationed health care,do you?
As far as the Anglos are concerned,it's still to Hell with the bloody Irish, Welsh, and Scots.
Just kidding,I think.

I am sure that the socialists are studying how other countries deal with their elderly and are coming up with a formula to jettison them as quickly as possible from the burdon on their ever diminishing dollar. Maybe they will slip something in their water to hasten their inability to swallow. Without proper nutrition, they will go fast and no one who is not attentive will know anything happened.

Our culture has become so degraded. In Thailand, the elderly are highly respected. Normally a family member stays with the old patient to give personal care. This effort is freely given and the caregivers feel no resentment. If no family is available, the hospital care is very compassionate.

And if the Communist Demonrats remain in power I halfway expect to be forced into a “reeducation” camp because I'm a pro-life, extremely Conservative Christian.

Where do you draw the line between malnutrition and traditional Scots cuisine though?
