The most chilling part of the article.

Concerns about the pathway were raised first in The Daily Telegraph in 2009 when experts warned that in some cases patients have been put on the pathway only to recover when their families intervened, leading to questions over how people are judged to be in their “last hours and days”.

Coming to a hospital near you thanks to Obamarcare.

I have seen this happen with Hospice patients too, time and time again. They are supposed to have less than six months to live and receive only palliative care during that time. Often it doesn't work out that way and they leave hospice, return to conventional tertiary medical care and recover.

The death and dying issues are an art not a science.
