Sam Golubchuk update...

Those are legion, they, who support the doctor and staff nursing tantrum because the killers weren't allowed to snuff Mr. Golubchuk yet. Here is that perspective. Maybe they should contact the ObamaNation for a dose of "hope".

The children of Samuel Golubchuk say they're fighting to keep their father alive because only God has the right to decide when he should die. They should follow their own advice. Insisting the 84-year-old stay on life support for eight months -- with the Manitoba Court of Queen's Bench not even expected to hear arguments until Sept. 15 -- is cruel and unusual punishment.

Golubchuk's condition has deteriorated to such an extent, three doctors have refused to treat him. They believe doing so will cause the Winnipeg man further suffering. Dr. Anand

Kumar called it "torture," saying Golubchuk's flesh is so badly infected with bedsores, it requires surgeons to hack away to remove them. And, as Dr. Dave Easton wrote in an emotional letter to the Winnipeg Free Press on Tuesday, giving Golubchuk further treatment "would only increase suffering and provide no benefit." He concluded it would violate his oath to do no harm.....

Nature should take its course

Sam Golubchuk update, more...

We have one more example of the technique that it is all about money, that "futile" means the life itself and not simply the care.

............As a result, the city's Health Sciences Centre - the city's biggest trauma centre - was recently forced to transfer two intensive care nurses with "specialized skills" to the Grace intensive care unit. Multiple sources who did not want to be identified told the Winnipeg Free Press the nurses were sent to the Grace so Golubchuk could have dialysis needed to keep him alive.

Experts say patients such as Golubchuk, who are in a minimally conscious state, can still feel pain - and they can't receive as much pain-relieving medication if they are on dialysis.

Already, three of the Grace's critical-care doctors have refused to treat Golubchuk, saying to do so would only prolong his suffering, an ethical line they say they won't cross.....

Winnipeg hospitals divert key resources to care for dying man

Don’t they have special beds in Canada or don’t they clean or turn Mr. G? If hospice can come up w/beds to prevent bed sores, why can’t CANADA?
