“Mild Stroke Leads to Mother’s Starvation”
OK, I’m the youngest daughter, and I’m watching this horror inflicted on my mother. I write a heart wretching article and refer to her as “an old woman” as I sit there and hold her hand?
This article reeks of fraud. If that were my mother, you can bet I would take that hospital and everyone envolved apart piece by piece to rescue her, and if I had to spend the rest my days in jail for it, no way in hell I would do nothing!!!
If you think there is any possibility someone in your family would be murdered in this way, get them out of that facility, get them home, get the best in-home care you can get, and take care of them yourself! No matter how primitive your home care may be, it will be worlds better than death by dehydration and starvation! And you will spend the rest of your days with a clear conscience knowing you did your best!
I find it hard to believe as well, but some years back, a similar thing happened to a relative of mine. She had just one child — quite the fool, that child — to make the medical decisions. The fool did what the doctors suggested and the parent died slow and horrible.
You may wonder how the Germans could have done nothing, or how they could have actively assisted in the Holocaust.
We have among us people who would sit there watching their own parents die in the most inhumane manner. Ostensibly because some judge permitted it, and some medical practitioner swore it was painless.
I would take my parent home if it were a felony to do so and the home a fishing shack.
I assume that the brother or other sister had power of attorney and the younger sister, the writer, could legally do nothing.
