The assisted suicide lobby argues that legalizing assisted suicide will prevent "underground" killing. They suggest that legalizing and regulating assisted suicide will protect people from illegal acts. 

Bull Shit it will!

Goldman asks: 'Is curing patients a sustainable business model?'

Goldman asks: 'Is curing patients a sustainable business model?':

Goldman Sachs analysts attempted to address a touchy subject for biotech companies, especially those involved in the pioneering "gene therapy" treatment: cures could be bad for business in the long run.

"Is curing patients a sustainable business model?" analysts ask in an April 10 report entitled "The Genome Revolution."

The Corruption of Evidence Based Medicine — Killing for Profit

The Corruption of Evidence Based Medicine — Killing for Profit:

The idea of Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) is great. The reality, though, not so much. Human perception is often flawed, so the premise of EBM is to formally study medical treatments and there have certainly been some successes.

Adults Medically Kidnapped: 3X More than Children in Foster Care – $50 BILLION in Assets Seized:

Most of the stories that we cover at Medical Kidnap involve children who were taken from their families by Child Protective Services. However, medical kidnapping can happen to adults too.We have covered a number of stories of adults being taken by Adult Protective Services and being placed under the legal guardianship of strangers.In January, we covered the stories of 2 medically kidnapped elderly women in the Boston area who were allegedly euthanized with the approval of their court-appointed guardians, against the wishes of their family members.

Epic alert exposes ‘silent killer’ SEPSIS

Epic alert exposes ‘silent killer’ - Cambridge Network:
Patients at risk of the ‘silent killer’ sepsis are being identified and treated quicker at Cambridge University Hospitals thanks to a new alert and action feature in its electronic patient record system.A new alert and set of actions within the Trust’s electronic patient record system, Epic,  part of the Trust’s award-winning eHospital digital transformation programme, identifies patients showing signs of sepsis – a life-threatening condition that arises when the body's response to infection causes injury to its own tissues and organs.
National guidance recommends that patients with sepsis are given antibiotics within an hour of diagnosis to reduce the risk of serious complications or even death. Every year 250,000 people are affected by sepsis and it accounts for around 44,000 deaths, more than bowel, breast and prostate cancer combined.

However, sepsis can be difficult to spot and is often mistaken in the early stages for other more localised infections. This electronic alert brings to the clinicians’ attention that sepsis could be a possibility if a patient’s clinical observations meet the relevant criteria.

Reducing Mortality and Advancing Antimicrobial Stewardship through Fast Antibiotic Susceptibility Results for Bloodstream Infections

Reducing Mortality and Advancing Antimicrobial Stewardship through Fast Antibiotic Susceptibility Results for Bloodstream Infections:

Preliminary data suggest the rate of sepsis mortality, as a percentage of overall deaths, is dropping at University Health Care System (UHCS) in Augusta, GA. Recently the health system implemented a strategy of combining faster diagnostics to enhance their antibiotic stewardship program in addition to real-time communication to clinicians. Over a period of 12-months, UHCS measured both the time patients had a bloodstream infection and the mortality rates associated with them.

The following testimony was submitted by Nancy Elliott Chair, EPC-USA to each Rhode Island committee member and the committee clerk on behalf of EPC USA.

Dear Health, Welfare and Human Services Committee Member,

Nancy Elliott

Please reject H7297. Proponents say that this is about autonomy and choice. Nothing could be further from the truth. There are no safeguards that ensure that the choice is yours and not someone else's. As a matter of fact all the “so called” safeguards can be gone around. Proponents claim there is no “slippery slope” yet we see as soon as something is passed they go in to expand their death policies. Oregon, where assisted suicide is legal, just passed legislation that will allow for the starvation and dehydration of incompetent people. Belgium’s law has expanded to euthanize children, those who are incompetent and people who are not dying at all. And Canada who recently passed it is has already expanded it to prisoners.
