Rest at link.
Lawyers are going to love it, and get rich off it suing the Hospitals and the Docs.
The doctor’s receptionist asked me today if I wanted one and I told them know.
Now I’m thinking that I *have* to get one with my wishes expressed just to stop this crap from happening.
What sucks is that I trust my husband and he trusts me. We both realize that situations can be unpredictable and fluid and we both wanted to give the other the freedom to act in our best interests. A “do everything to keep me alive” order can be harmful.
Hubby just asked what the ‘second opinion’ is all about...I just said I guess whether you get to live or die...lol!
Pray for our country!
I was resuscitated 3 times about 8 or 9 years ago, here in TX. Glad that new law wasn’t in force then. However, if it happens again, guess I’ll just have to go meet my maker.......
The whole thing reads like a bad horror movie. I am going to look into it tomorrow and make some calls to my state rep. This is too vague and dangerous to become law.
The ‘RAT Party of Death is at it again. They aren’t going to be happy until all those not registered as DemocRATS are dead.
So by decree, a physician could literally get away with murder. Who needs death panels when a sole source will do?
Thank you for sharing that true life miracle! We are living in a culture of death and this stuff is being written into law, but folks are too busy watching ‘The Voice’ or ‘Kardashins’ to be bothered.
Shudders.....
I smell a No - Good, Dirty Obama Lovin, Rat in this
it sounds like an orderly could even sign it...lol. Unbelievable!
Me too. I will let you know what I find out.
Bob Duell - A conservative republican says wiki.
What could possibly go wrong? /s
Sounds like a one person death panel to me. I wonder how a death panelist would feel if a condemned patient or members of the condemned patient’s family retaliated lethally against the doctor who condemned him. A few of these lethal retaliations might put a stop to them. Doctors need to carefully consider their oaths. First, do no harm...
??
Bringing those care Pathways to Texas?
death panels!
but folks are too busy watching The Voice or Kardashins to be bothered.
Given that option, death would be a blessing.
While R.(R for RINO) Perry is out hawking dem voters in California, Texans beware. They are after your state to become blue like Beelzbub himself looking to turn a Christian.
It can happen.
” A reasonably diligent effort” causes me some concern...that is quite vague.
“we left a voicemail and didn’t hear back over the weekend...”
I’m a firm believer that one does not pass until their appointed time, regardless of men’s intention otherwise, but I do not subscribe to codifying subjectivity.
If this is a big problem with unclaimed terminal patients they can make the effort to spell things out clearly and fairly.
