"From various sources I have read that they loaded her up with diuretics and laxatives before and as they pulled the tube. That they used an ear patch to deliver a drug which would further dehydrate her."
Dear Lord, how in the name of anything that is decent and good, how in the name of GOD can these nurses participate in this!!!! I am a nurse. I have worked in long term care, with patients I, and everyone, knew could not and would not survive. We CARED for these folks, we did not participate in murder. If I had been asked to do anything that would have harmed my residents, I would have protested, charted it, and LEFT that facility. And no, I am not rich, and I do need my paychecks, but Good God in heaven, this is horrible and cruel.......and MURDER.

I hear you! I am a medical technologist. Having spent 25 years calling critical values in order to save people from death by dehydration or electrolyte imbalance, nothing has been as truly repulsive to me as this barbaric standing guard as we kill someone.
I'm a nurse as well and I agree with you 100%
I was in three hospitals in Scottsdale almost four months 09-2004 to 01-2005.
I just want to let you know how much I admire you.
Every day I think about some of my nurses in those very dark and difficult times. I love them dearly.
