Palliative Care : Hopes for 2018

As the year closes, we look forward to new beginnings, and hope for a brighter future.  We have dreams, plans and challenges. 

We hope for a better fairer world despite the evidence that the world is becoming more dishonest, unjust and  unequal.  We see the poor and the socially marginalised go without decent homes and basic healthcare.

Public patients face health rationing like never before as they are increasingly viewed as a burden instead of as a responsibility.  Governments see restricting treatments and euthanasia as a means of limiting health spending and overcoming their failure to balance economic budgets.

Judge Seizes Scientists' Evidence After They Prove Vaccines Cause Autism:

Two Italian scientists who proved vaccines contain autism-causing properties that are not listed as ingredients have had their property raided by police and their equipment seized on the orders of a judge.

Many adults who use ibuprofen and other so-called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) drugs take too much, increasing their risk of serious side effects like internal bleeding and heart attacks, a U.S. study suggests.

My husband should have stuck with the Ibuprofen instead of letting the Death Mongers switch him to Morphine and Oxycontin. At least the Ibuprofen wasn't weakening his system.

Snooping in hospital pipes, scientists find DNA that fuels spread of superbugs

Snooping in hospital pipes, scientists find DNA that fuels spread of superbugs | New Hampshire:

A new report shows that the pipes beneath a hospital intensive care unit are a throbbing, seething zone for antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Even when the sinks, faucets, bedrails and countertops of patients’ rooms are largely free of germs that resist modern medicines, the genetic building blocks for antibiotic resistance intermingle freely in the pipes connected to those rooms, according to a study published last Tuesday in the journal mBio. 

Sepsis: The Common Cause of Death You've Never Heard Of

Charles Summerour was traveling for business when he acquired an everyday infection that almost killed him.

After initially ignoring the symptoms of what turned out to be a urinary tract infection (UTI), the 54-year-old journalist began to feel markedly worse as the day wore on. He sought medical attention from a doctor, who promptly sent him to the hospital.Within hours of being admitted, Summerour’s blood pressure had dropped to dangerous levels, his kidneys were failing and his body was slipping into a little-known but very deadly condition called septic shock.

My husband also had a Urinary tract infection, but the Doctors at the Hellhole Hospital in Nashua that we once trusted (Big Mistake, cost my Husband his life), said they didn't know what kind of infection he had or where it was. He was denied antibiotics and developed Sepsis and was again,  denied antibiotics for the Sepsis!
