Did 'revoked' living willkill communicative man?
WorldNetDaily ^ | November 4, 2005 | Diana Lynne

Family members are investigating what they consider to be suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of a nursing home patient at the center of a life and death tug-of-war reminiscent of the Terri Schiavo tragedy.

Seventy-nine-year-old Jimmy Chambers died in the early morning hours of Oct. 24 after the tracheotomy tubes that deliver oxygen from a ventilator to a hole in his neck became unhooked. Family members were told Chambers, a resident of the Anne Maria Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in North Augusta, S.C., apparently pulled the interlocking tubes apart.

"We're having it investigated. We're just incredulous," Chambers' daughter, Deanna Potter, told WND in reference to her siblings. "The last time I saw dad he was blowing me a kiss. I blew him one and he blew one back."

The retired dispatcher for Holland Motor Express died approximately 10 hours later. His death certificate indicates he died of "natural causes."

"Apparently, suffocation is a 'natural cause' when you're on a ventilator. We're contesting that," said Potter. "He suffocated. He didn't just pass away. He struggled and fought. And I'm just so angry."

Potter estimates it would have taken 10 to 14 minutes for her father, deprived of oxygen, to fall unconscious, and questions why the nursing home staff didn't come to his aid.

"The oxygen-saturation meter and his ventilator both would have had alarms going off. Four-thirty, five o'clock in the morning you'd think someone would hear this," she added. "That's the thing that really bothers me and makes me suspicious."

I am slowly pouring over all the great documents and backups in Cheryl's book. It will take a long time especially for me to absorb it, like sipping from a fire hydrant. It is a valuable source book to us.

It is an obfuscation buster.

From Wikipedia:

Obfuscation may be used for other purposes. Doctors have been accused of using jargon to conceal unpleasant facts from a patient. Author and doctor Michael Crichton has claimed that medical writing is a "highly skilled, calculated attempt to confuse the reader". [1] (http://upalumni.org/medschool/appendices/appendix-25.html). Similarly text-based language, like gyaru-moji and some forms of leet are obfuscated to make them incomprehensible to outsiders.

HINO lawyer Bushnell on left.

It looked to me like she was at Joseph P. Smith's Verdict Hrg this afternoon trying to keep a low profile.

She's the minion who brought HINO and Felos together.

My #400. "Long Term Care" does not jive with what the ombudsmen was up to w/Mrs. Chambers.

That SC agency does not live up to its name if they are expediting forced exits.

Something else is really odd. Two NAACP directors, one in St. Pete and now this guy in Orlando have switched to the Republican Party.

Is Florida's Republican Party really Republican or just filling up with democrats because the two parties are so much alike? Looks like Crist is making another play for the black vote at a time when Democrat Jim Davis is ahead of the republican candidates for Gov. of Fla

Your pic of Dethnell. Faces of Death Merchants. All they need is real eyes. Even Orphan Annie has eyes although without the dots. These ghouls don't have anything in their sockets except darkness.

Reminds me of "Night of the Living Dead".

"If this guy praises "Living wills," it is a great case against them."

No kidding, 8mmMauser~!!! If Clinton was just a regular guy with a living will, and had a heart attack, the living will, imo, would have been a big * DNA * to doctors and care givers. I'd love to read him and Hillary's living wills. Clinton must be afraid of going to heaven due to his decision to have heart surgery....the big hypocrite. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Thanks for the link to the thread. I read the article and plan to read the thread. I'm really getting sick and tired of people like Clinton and others using Terri's case to shame people into dying before their time. Clinton and Hillary will always get the best health care money can buy. Unfornately if the death movement gets it's way, the rest of America will be lucky to get an asprin in the coming years.

"Remember Jerger Insurance Co"

I hope Hino watched that episode and made the connection. He didn't fool anybody unless they wanted to be fooled.

"I question their not for profit status. It is a ruse."

I question Hospice's non-profit status too, FV. They not only get medicare monies but also donations from grateful family members who probably have no idea of the hedious things they do. After what happened to Terri, I seriously question the methods and motives of all Hospices.

In my area of the country, over the past several months, a Hospice has been advertising using the words - A Hospice you can trust. Makes me wonder if people all over the country are no longer trusting Hospices like they once did.

This is being investigated. We also believe she not only dropped the ball, but acted against the best interests of the patient. She deferred to the courts, which were sitting on their hands at the time. It's interesting because she used the law to break the law and shed herself of any responsibility. Thanks for the heads up!!

They look like jack-o-lanterns, after the candles burned out.

If Bill Clinton is our role model on how to get there, Heaven is going to be a lonely place.

Thank you, freema, for this. It shows where we are headed faster than most realize.

BEIJING - A Chinese peasant woman who suffered a brain hemorrhage was left at the undertakers alive for cremation because her family could no longer afford hospital treatment, state media said on Friday.

She was only saved by the tears in her eyes.

I looked at some Jack-o-Lanterns discarded after Halloween which now have been through some severe frosts and now I realize where Felos de se gets his smile.
