Euthanasia isn’t palliative care, Canadian bishops say

OTTAWA – Canada’s Catholic bishops are urging the federal government to maintain a clear distinction between palliative care and the practice of euthanasia and assisted suicide so institutions are not forced to become “an accomplice” in causing an intentional death.

My comment that they wouldn't post: No, Euthanasia is not "supposed" to be Palliative care, but Hospital patients across the Nation are unknowingly being forced onto Palliative and Hospice care and being euthanized. They walk into the Hospital requesting treatment and are instead ILLEGALLY without consent put on Palliative/Hospice Care and denied treatment. Never told of illnesses found through daily lab work and never treated for anything. Dehydrated and starved and denied lifesaving medication. Only offered a Morphine drip to hasten death. Patient and family member's never told the patient now has Sepsis, thanks to rotten medical care and never treated. Just left to die. Palliative/Hospice care MUST be abolished. These death mongers are getting away with Murdering our loved ones. Whether they are terminal or not, only God has the right to decide when life is over. NOT Hospice or Palliative Care!

As one of the leading causes of deaths in hospitals, sepsis — a complication often hard to identify — presents a unique challenge to hospital leaders. Since the risk of death from sepsis increases by about 8 percent with each hour before intervention, it is crucial for hospitals to improve sepsis awareness among staff members and speed sepsis responses.

Attorney Explains how to Protect Against America’s Epidemic of Senior Medical Kidnappings

As we have previously reported here at Health Impact News, the medical kidnapping of America’s elderly is a $273 BILLION industry.

Medical kidnapping of senior citizens occurs when a doctor, usually a psychiatrist, deems 

that the senior can no longer take care of themselves, and gets a judge to sign an order of “guardianship” or “conservatorship” to someone working for the State.

Feinstein Institute researcher awarded $1.65M to examine vagus nerve's role in sepsis

MANHASSET, N.Y., Aug. 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Feinstein Institute for Medical Research Professor Valentin A. Pavlov, PhD, received a five-year, $1.65 million R01 grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to examine the vagus nerve's role in the inflammation and metabolism associated with sepsis. Having a better understanding of the nervous system's signaling during sepsis could lead to the identification of new therapeutic targets within the scope of bioelectronic medicine.

Kidnapped' by the Mayo Clinic; Death by Colonoscopy; Health Officials' Secret Finances

"Kidnapped" by the Mayo Clinic

Two years ago, 18-year-old Alyssa Gilderhus suffered a brain aneurysm during the Christmas holidays. Gilderhus was then placed at the Mayo Clinic for treatment. But she and her family didn't like the care she was given and wished to transfer to a different hospital. The Mayo Clinic said no and even tried to get legal guardianship over the young woman.

Death By Colonoscopy?

Many times, common procedures turn deadly, and an investigation by Kaiser Health Newsand USA Today network found lax regulations for outpatient centers where these deaths happen. In 17 states, if patients die or are severely injured in one, there is no way to report that the death was after outpatient surgery center care.

Concern as sepsis death rates rise dramatically

The number of NHS patients who have died of sepsis has risen dramatically across three major hospitals in Suffolk and Essex over the last four years.
