U.S. Government Report Shows Hospice Abuse. Sacrificing Patient Care for Profit.

U.S. Government Report Shows Hospice Abuse. Sacrificing Patient Care for Profit.

Groups opposing euthanasia and assisted suicide have been advocates of good hospice care. Stories about hospice abuse have created great concerns as we recognize that good care will reduce the demand for assisted dying while hospice abusive feeds the demand to legalize assisted suicide. Promoters of assisted suicide will often compare hospice care to assisted suicide and refer to hospice abuse to advocate for "more options" at the end of life.

The Trump Department of Health and Human Services’ Inspector General has released two scathing reports concerning the Hospice end-of-life-care industry, with the hope of cleaning up hospice abuse. These reports include stories of maggots in stomach feeding tubes; failing to clean wounds which ultimately became gangrened requiring leg amputations; ignoring pelvic injuries from sexual assault and giving wrong treatment that put patients in the hospital.

Wyss Institute and Miraki Innovation Unveil BOA Biomedical to Reduce Sepsis Deaths

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University and Miraki Innovation have unveiled BOA Biomedical Inc., a company that aims to solve the global healthcare demand for a device that rapidly diagnoses and treats infectious diseases, focusing specifically on sepsis and antibiotic-resistant infections. BOA is a portfolio company founded by Miraki that plans to commercialize technology developed at the Wyss Institute. Earlier this year, BOA obtained investigational device exemption (IDE) from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration to allow the device to be used in a first-in-human clinical study to collect safety and effectiveness data. This approval follows BOA's exclusive worldwide licensing agreement with the Harvard Office of Technology Development.

Continuous deep sedation and homicide: an unsolved problem in law and professional morality

Abstract

When a severely suffering dying patient is deeply sedated, and this sedated condition is meant to continue until his death, the doctor involved often decides to abstain from artificially administering fluids. For this dual procedure almost all guidelines require that the patient should not have a life expectancy beyond a stipulated maximum of days (4–14). The reason obviously is that in case of a longer life-expectancy the patient may die from dehydration rather than from his lethal illness. But no guideline tells us how we should describe the dual procedure in case of a longer life-expectancy. Many arguments have been advanced why we should not consider it to be a form of homicide, that is, ending the life of the patient (with or without his request). I argue that none of these arguments, taken separately or jointly, is persuasive. When a commission, even one that is not itself life-shortening, foreseeably renders a person unable to undo the life-shortening effects of another, simultaneous omission, the commission and the omission together should be acknowledged to kill her. I discuss the legal and ethical implications of this conclusion.

Today is the 28 Month Anniversary of the Medical Murder of My Husband, Bill Knightly by St. Joseph Hospital in Nashua, NH

My Knight and two of his special Granddaughter's that he loved so much.

Today makes 28 month's since the Medical MURDER of my loving Husband by the Hospital we once trusted, St. Joseph's in Nashua. The Hospital where our children and grandchildren were born. Literally, the Hospital we trusted with our lives. Never in OUR wildest dreams would we have ever even had an inkling that St. Joes was no longer the caring trustworthy Hospital that we alway's counted on. I believe the big problem is Hospitalist's who handle all the patient's in the Hospital. No longer are Primary Care Doctor's even allowed in to the Hospital to care for their patients. They aren't even contacted or consulted about their patient's health and well being. The only time they are, is after they've died. Even then the Hospital is extremely lax on sending the Primary care Doctor the patient's Medical file. I know this for a fact, as my Husband's Doctor never received his until I contacted the Medical records department and TOLD them his Doctor was waiting for them.
Another problem I came across was in regard's to lab testing. These report's should be given to the patient and family immediately, so they can be looked over. So the patient and family knows what was found and can demand treatment, seeing how St. Joseph's and God only knows how many other Hospitals aren't treating the illnesses they find and just let the patient die without treatment. Never mind waiting until  after the patient has died, or waiting 30 day's to get the Medical file. Just think of how many lives could be saved knowing ahead of time that the Hospital wasn't treating the patient for illnesses found, or even that the illnesses even exist. My Husband would still be alive today had I known ahead of time that he was right when he stated they were trying to kill him. I should have known. He was always right. They were trying to kill him and they succeeded on April 26th, 2017.
My poor Husband who adamantly stated he wanted treatment and didn't want to die. Instead he was UN-KNOWINGLY, ILLEGALLY forced onto Hospice/Palliative care, which they still deny, but I have all the paperwork that proves it, whether CMS want's to listen or not. This is Medicare fraud and CMS is letting them get away with it. I sent them ALL proof, but they still let them keep their Medicare Fraud money If only President Trump would look into these cases, head's would roll!
Hospitalist's need to go, Hospice/Palliative care need's to go and UN-ethical Medical UN-professionals need to be prosecuted for killing Our Loved ones! Assisted suicide and Euthanasia are SUPPOSED to be ILLEGAL, so why are these scumbags getting away with it? Why isn't our Government doing anything to stop these MURDERS????? Still no justice for My Husband or any of the other's Medically Murdered by the hand's of the people they trusted. The people who took a hippocratic oath to SAVE lives, NOT COMMIT MURDER!!!
My life without My Husband will never be the same without him. He was my world and I won't stop until he and the rest of our Loved ones get Justice for their Murders! Everyone tell's me to MOVE ON. I'm moving on in the only direction I can. These senseless MURDERS must end and the Murderers need to rot in Prison where they belong!

I Love you My Knight and always will! 
Extremely Pissed Off Wife of Bill Knightly, Murdered by NON-consensual Hospice/Palliative care at St. Joseph Hospital in Nashua, NH

Correction to ACTION ALERT from HALO-DANGEROUS FEDERAL HOSPICE BILL MUST BE DEFEATED!

Correction to ACTION ALERT from HALO

A minor misstatement was discovered in the ACTION ALERT sent to you Saturday evening. There is only one amendment to the Senate bill, not two, as incorrectly stated. Please share the following corrected ACTION ALERT. Thank you.

ACTION ALERT from HALO DANGEROUS FEDERAL HOSPICE BILL MUST BE DEFEATED!

The Palliative Care and Hospice Education and Training Act (PCHETA) – HR 647 and S 2080 – would extend palliative care provided by hospice to non-dying patients, use our federal tax dollars to fund medical education for this purpose, and fund the “selling” of palliative care to the public. Hospice, a palliative care program, is plagued by Medicare fraud and poor quality care leading to serious harm and deaths. The Senate bill, S 2080, has this proposed amendment: "ADDITIONAL CLARIFICATION.—As used in this Act (or an amendment made by this Act), palliative care and hospice shall not be furnished for the purpose of causing, or the purpose of assisting in causing, a patient’s death, for any reason." This amendment has no teeth—no provisions to ensure enforcement. This language will not stop the “stealth euthanasia”[1] deaths occurring in many hospice and palliative care settings. The federal government should be concerned about identifying dangerous palliative and hospice care, not promoting it. The Healthcare Advocacy and Leadership Organization (HALO) supports life-affirming palliative and hospice care that provides comfort and pain control, but we oppose government funding of education programs that will very likely be run by proponents of medical killing. RED FLAGS: The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO), the leading trade organization for this industry, is the actual legal and corporate successor to the Euthanasia Society of America.[2] The PCHETA is enthusiastically supported by Compassion & Choices, the group leading the campaign to legalize physician-assisted suicide throughout the U.S. IMMEDIATE ACTION NEEDED HR 647 now has 255 co-sponsors, more than enough for it to pass the House. Therefore, our best chance to defeat this legislation is to keep it in the Senate committee. Before the end of August, it is crucial that you email the staffers of the Republicans on the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pension (HELP) Committee, registering your opposition to S 2080. Also email the staffers of the pro-life sponsors of S 2080, requesting that they withdraw their sponsorship. Their contact information is provided here. “Opposing PCHETA Talking Points” are available here. When emailing the Senators’ staffers, you may wish to use one or several of these talking points to argue against the bill. It is particularly important to contact Senator Lamar Alexander, Chairman of the HELP Committee, and your own Senator, asking them to oppose S 2080. We sincerely thank you in advance for taking action to defeat the PCHETA, which if passed will endanger the lives of many more vulnerable patients. – HALO [1] “Stealth euthanasia” means the intentional hastening of a patient’s death while pretending to provide appropriate treatment. A typical report HALO receives from grieving family members is that their loved one, who had been alert and was not complaining of pain, was administered increasingly frequent and larger doses of pain medications and sedatives to the point where they were sleeping all the time and could not eat or drink. Some reported that patients were also denied their usual medications to control blood pressure, diabetes, etc. [2] In 2004, Last Acts Partnership—whose roots trace back 66 years to the Euthanasia Society of America—ceases operations. Its assets and some of its personnel go to the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization. “There is no further need for "Euthanasia Society of America" (or its successors) as the National Hospice & Palliative Care Organization has now been fully infiltrated by the euthanasia industry and is carrying on its work.” https://www.hospicepatients.org/euthanasia-soc-of-america-to-natl-hosp-and-palliative-care-org.pdf

Why Some Doctors Purposely Misdiagnose Patients

Hundreds of people say a Michigan doctor falsely diagnosed them with epilepsy. He wouldn’t be the first to lie to patients about how sick they are.
