Government, doctor or patient — whose health care preferences should be honored? | TheHill:
The recently created “Conscience and Religious Freedom” division in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office for Civil Rights has received little public attention, but it should because it threatens to take away Americans’ access to numerous health care options. The deadline for public comments on this division to the Federal Register is next Tuesday, March 27.

Sepsis Almost Killed Before I Even Knew What It Was-My husband was denied antibiotics and it killed him!
Sepsis Almost Killed Before I Even Knew What It Was:
I don’t take my health for granted because in 2015 I nearly died of the same complications we’ve been hearing about.
At the time, I’d never even heard of sepsis, which is the body’s extreme, life-threatening response to infection. For me, the progression started with norovirus rather than flu. It progressed to pneumonia, sepsis and then septic shock, which causes dangerously low blood pressure that results in internal organs malfunctioning because they’re not receiving enough blood. And all of this happened within the span of a few days.
I didn't know what Sepsis was either until the Undertaker told me it killed my husband. Pretty sad, the Hospital we once trusted couldn't tell us he had Sepsis and denied him Life saving antibiotics.
ID Care: What is sepsis? St. Joes Hosp. In Nashua, NH doesn't have a clue!
ID Care: What is sepsis?:
HILLSBOROUGH - Sepsis is a serious medical condition that is often considered an emergency. It is our body’s reaction and response to an infection.More than 1.5 million people get sepsis in the U.S. every year. Sepsis starts from an infection that usually comes from our skin, lungs, kidneys or stomach/bowel system. When the infection can’t be controlled, it leads to sepsis. Without prompt treatment, sepsis can lead to injury to our organs that can be permanent. Death also can occur. About 250,000 Americans die from sepsis every year, and one out of every three deaths that happen in the hospital setting is from sepsis.
If you want treatment for Sepsis, stay away from St. Josephs Hospital in Nashua. Sepsis Central!

Pin-Prick Blood Test Spots Deadly Sepsis: Study
Pin-Prick Blood Test Spots Deadly Sepsis: Study | Newsmax.com:
Scientists on Monday unveiled a quick, cheap way to detect sepsis, a life-threatening condition in which the body is attacked by its own immune system.
In clinical trials at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, the researchers -- analysing a single drop of blood with a thumb-size filtering device -- singled out sepsis patients in a matter of hours with 95 percent accuracy.
My husband wasn't so lucky. The Hellhole Hospital in Nashua, NH said he had an infection but they didn't know what it was or where it was, so they denied him life saving antibiotics. Lab results show he had a UTI, left untreated which turned into Sepsis. Again, he was denied Antibiotics. They didn't even have the decency to tell us he had and died of SEPSIS. Pretty sad, we had to hear it from the Undertaker!

Euthanasia Prevention Coalition: Behind the Curtain of Assisted Suicide Advocacy
Euthanasia Prevention Coalition Euthanasia Prevention Coalition: Behind the Curtain of Assisted Suicide Advocacy:
The United States assisted suicide movement claims that it wants only a limited “reform” of law and medical ethics, restricting what it euphemistically calls “aid in dying” to competent adults with terminal illnesses for whom nothing else can be done to alleviate their suffering. But this claim isn’t true. Currently, no law permitting doctors to write lethal prescriptions mandates any objective medical determination that the patient is actually suffering. Indeed, a 2008 study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that patients sometimes receive lethal prescriptions even when they are not experiencing serious pain or other noxious symptoms.
