Vitamin D Can Save Lives of COPD Patients

Vitamin D Can Save Lives of COPD Patients
My comment: So ignore the quack Doctor that tell's you to stop taking them along with other vitamins. The Doctor that tells you they may have aspirin in them and your blood will be too thin if you need surgery. BUT, you're admitted into the Hospital and you're given a shot in your stomach every day so your blood won't clot. What sense does that make??? Duh! BEEN THERE!

Deadly lung attacks may be averted in some COPD patients with a daily dose of vitamin D, new research suggests.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, includes a number of lung conditions, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Nearly all COPD deaths are due to a sudden worsening of symptoms (lung attacks), often triggered by viral upper respiratory infections, the researchers explained.

Why euthanasia is unethical.

Why euthanasia is unethical

The following article was published in the December 2018 World Medical Association Journal (pg 33 - 37) 

Link to a PDF of the article.

This article is written by Dr Rene Leiva, Dr Tim Lau and Gordon Friesen.

‘Unanimously, a declaration was adopted which simply says that euthanasia is unethical.’ 

Thus read a brief initial note in the World Medical Journal of 1987 with reference to the key passage of a new WMA Declaration on Euthanasia adopted in the Madrid General Assembly of that year [1]. Concise as this message was, it announced the affirmation of a powerful, enduring medical dictum, and we believe it to be essential for us, today, to understand the context in which it came about.  

george soros and the cult of death

george soros and the cult of death
In 1994 Soros—a self-professed atheist—launched his Project Death in America (PDIA) and provided $15 million in its initial funding. His mother, a member of the pro-suicide Hemlock Society, killed herself, and that Soros mentioned unsympathetically his dying father’s clinging on to life for too long. PDIA supports physician-assisted suicide and works “to begin forming a network of doctors that will eventually reach into one-fourth of America’s hospitals” and, in a chilling turn of phrase, lead to “the creation of innovative models of care and the development of new curricula on dying.”

Multiple Sclerosis Palliative Care Soars in US Hospitals-Because Palliative care is cheaper than treatment! No wonder there's so much Medicare Fraud!

Multiple Sclerosis Palliative Care Soars in US Hospitals

Because Palliative care is cheaper than treatment! No wonder there's so much Medicare Fraud!

Palliative care among patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) increased significantly, to 6.1% during a decade of time ending in 2014, according to new US hospital-based research.

In new analysis, investigators have found the proportion of patients with MS receiving palliative care and to have died in the hospital research that considered more than 225,000 people in US hospitals shows.

The rate of palliative care in MS patients to have died in the hospital increased from 7.7% to 58.8% over 10 years, a team led by Jay J. Shen, PhD, at the University of Nevada Las Vegas School of Community Health Sciences, found. At the same time, costs associated with hospitalization were less for MS patients receiving palliative care than for those not getting such care.

This was true even though patients in palliative care spent slightly more time in the hospital, and were more likely to die there.

Sepsis, Holiday Staffing Linked To Wrongful Death Lawsuit Against VA

The family of one veteran has filed a lawsuit against the Department of Veterans Affairs for failing to timely diagnose and treat sepsis resulting in death.

Richard Williams checked himself into a VA hospital in Columbia, Missouri, on December 27, 2016. His symptoms were shortness of breath. Williams died two days later.

While Williams was in a state of respiratory distress, the clinicians responsible for his care ordered a necessary test as routine rather than urgent. A six-hour delay resulted that ended with Williams’ death.

Williams ultimately died from anoxia secondary to laryngeal edema and sepsis complicated by drug intoxication from Haldol and lorazepam. Erica Smith, Williams’ daughter, filed the lawsuit on December 27 on behalf of her father’s estate.

Hospital errors lead to "dead" patient opening eyes during organ harvesting

A Syracuse, N.Y. hospital is facing $22,000 in fines due to improper handling of patients, including one "dead" patient who opened her eyes as doctors were about to remove her organs.

The Syracuse Post-Standard reported that the New York State Health Department found St. Joseph's Hospital Health Center negligent in the case, and admonished the hospital for not adequately looking into how this mistake was made.

Oregon doctor speaks out about his depressed patient who died by assisted suicide.

Dr Charles Bentz, had a depressed patient who died by assisted suicide.

I had another patient who was diagnosed with a malignant melanoma, metastatic cancer, a form of cancer that has a very poor prognosis and he was quite depressed because he was an avid outdoorsman, he loved to hike, he loved to be outdoors. He was diagnosed and he was seeing his oncologist and he was quite depressed about it and she even documented it in his note.
