The family of a pensioner who spent four days begging for food and water after he was placed on a controversial end-of-life programme have accused a hospital of treating him "like a dog".
The family of Ron Jee claim the 80-year-old was put on a programme similar to the Liverpool Care Pathway. This involves the withdrawal of food, fluids and medication for terminally ill patients who often die within hours of being put on it.
But they say he was treated like a dog after he spent four days on the end of life pathway when doctors said his condition was deteriorating after he was admitted to hospital with a stroke and then developing pneumonia.
Mr Jee's daughter, Christine Coleman, 52, said: “He was spending his days crying. No one should have to spend their final days like that.
”If I did to my dog what they did to my father I would not be allowed to own a dog again."

why don’t these people get these folks out of these places?
The only way to end this nonsense is the old way. Revenge, or at least the threat of revenge.
Medical murderers are known for two things: rationalizing homicide with false empathy; and abject cowardice.
In the first case, they like to *imagine* suffering in others as far worse than it is. “Your poor grandmother must be in *agony* with that hangnail. It is just *better* to end her suffering!”
However, their cowardice is key. All it takes is one menacing looking relative to let them know that if they kill grandmother, that they had better dig two graves.
If they think their own precious bottom is on the line, they will provide *care*, not homicide. It is not necessary to be blunt about it, because they know they are doing wrong, so are on the look out for indications that they could face consequences for their bit of murder. And, as the proverb goes:
“The wicked flee when no man pursueth...”
However, as with every other threat, there is always some punk who will try it on. In this case, murdering grandmother while thinking the threat is a bluff, or that they can hide behind the law.
And in that circumstance, it is up to the relative to either admit the bluff, or to dispense justice to a murderer.
Ha, ha!
LOL works much better then saying NO and slamming the door

I was thinking - "Why do these evil people hate human beings so much? Then the answer came to me. The human form is created in the image of God. That is why they hate human beings.
absolutely satanic.
Oops, I really messed up that html.
Sorry.
It’s amazing that western “civilization” is doing exactly what Hitler was doing. After supposedly winning the war.
And the next step will be “oh, he’s suffering so much without food and water. Let’s kill him quickly to end his suffering.”
Just see.
This is sick pure and simple. All life is precious and sacred.
Actually the liberals have an answer to this. Their answer is to avoid the suffering by just killing them outright. That’s the next logical step from their perspective.
This involves the withdrawal of food, fluids and medication for terminally ill patients who often die within hours of being put on it.
When did starvation and dehydration become “Medical Treatment?”
