Up until this weekend I never heard about TED and its conference being
held at the mostly public funded Vancouver Convention Centre. As part
of my walking information protest I was on the plaza outside of TED and I was told
by TED that it did not allow protests on the plaza which I understood
was open to the public without restrictions. TED was sold out and there
was more security than at the White House. The cost of attending TED
was $8,500 US and there were 13,000 delegates. From BC Business
it says that a thinker would be Monica Lewinsky along with more than 70
other thinkers. Who are these people: an elitist group. My sign was on
my personal grocery cart accompanied by Randy's doggy, Owen, which sign
said ""The BC College of Physicians says it is okay to place DNRs on
patients without consent. The secret courts of the College have to go."
It wasn't a big sign. In November 2013 I placed a complaint against the
college and it closed its file in December 2014 without an adequate
explanation to me as to why Dr. Dunn put a DNR on my best friend and
husband, Randy Michael Walker. The reasoning was confidential. I was
told that Dr. Dunn did no wrong. TED of all organizations has decried
free speech. I was approximately 500 feet from the convention centre
entrance when approached by security on what should be public property.
The theme of the conference is "Truth and Dare."

Coercion of DNRs
This post is similar to what happened to me under the Vancouver Health Authority. I learned one thing from this post that the proxy should always be with the patient when DNRs are discussed. From web site True Dignity Vermont.
True Dignity has received yet another compelling personal account of this dangerous and coercive medical culture and the devastation it wreaked on the lives of VT patients and their families even before assisted suicide became legal. One has to set reason aside to ignore the reality that the very same powerful people who act coercively with regard to what their prejudice causes them to define as “overtreatment” of people with disability, the old, and those thought to be terminally ill, will act coercively with regard to assisted suicide.
The events described in this story took place at a hospital and rehab/nursing Home in Vermont. As much as we can without revealing identifying information, we will let the person involved, who was the designated surrogate for her partner, tell the story in her own words, which are italicized and indented. For the partner’s protection, and ours, we are calling the patient, “John Doe”. We have not changed the partner’s capitalization and boldface of words and phrases she wants to emphasize.
Shockingly, such behavior is not actually illegal in Vermont. In fact, the physician did not even have to consult the patient or proxy. All he was legally required to do was recruit another clinician (the resident?!) to join with him in defining resuscitation as futile care by issuing “a certification…that resuscitation would not prevent the imminent death of the patient, should the patient experience cardiac arrest (http://healthvermont.gov/regs/ad/dnr_colst_instructions.pdf). This man lived six weeks more after a Pneumonia type infection so using “imminent” to describe his death does not seem to be justified. This doctor clearly had a point of view that he was determined to impose, and he did not conceal his anger when someone bucked his authority.
The only thing that kept this patient alive after Pneumonia was the strength of will of his partner, who did not care what people in the hospital thought about her, even as, she writes, “Between the Death Advocates at the Hospital and the indifference at the Rehab Center, I DID START TO QUESTION MY OWN AND ALL SANITY.” When everyone else is for death, it’s hard to stand firm on a choice for life, but she did it, admirably.
The real agenda of the promoters of assisted suicide has nothing to do with the “choice” which their promotional ads tell us must be honored at all costs. It is about getting rid of people who need care that is costly and time consuming. “At all costs” is an apt phrase, because patients, who, as this story shows, are already paying the costs that hospitals and the states are cutting everywhere, will lose more and more of their liberties if assisted suicide becomes an ordinary part of end of life care in Vermont.
The Horrifying Medical Culture into Which the Vermont Legislature Has Injected Assisted Suicide
March 12, 2015 by Administrators
Over its years of fighting assisted
suicide, True Dignity has become acutely aware that medical care of people with
disabilities is fraught with discrimination: there is a dangerous assumption,
on the part of able- bodied people with power, that certain types of life are
not worth living and should be brought to a quick end. Bill Peace’s
article about his hospital experience (available on request by emailing admin@truedignityvt.org
and also at a link posted March 10, 2015 on our Facebook page) and Lynne
Vitzthum’s recent testimony about her pediatrician’s urging her to decline
treatment for her disabled son are examples of discriminatory, arrogant and
coercive medical attitudes and practices. Peace and Vitzthum describe a
medical and society-wide culture into which it is obviously deadly to introduce
assisted suicide.
True Dignity has received yet another compelling personal account of this dangerous and coercive medical culture and the devastation it wreaked on the lives of VT patients and their families even before assisted suicide became legal. One has to set reason aside to ignore the reality that the very same powerful people who act coercively with regard to what their prejudice causes them to define as “overtreatment” of people with disability, the old, and those thought to be terminally ill, will act coercively with regard to assisted suicide.
The events described in this story took place at a hospital and rehab/nursing Home in Vermont. As much as we can without revealing identifying information, we will let the person involved, who was the designated surrogate for her partner, tell the story in her own words, which are italicized and indented. For the partner’s protection, and ours, we are calling the patient, “John Doe”. We have not changed the partner’s capitalization and boldface of words and phrases she wants to emphasize.
For several weeks I was there
(in the hospital) as the legal Health Care Proxy and Life Partner of (Mr. John
Doe), aged 79. He was to have outpatient Cancer treatment which turned
into hospital care.
…early in treatment the
Oncologist appointed to Mr. Doe started him on chemotherapy and diuretics for
swollen ankles of unknown cause… There was no warning that chemotherapy by
itself could cause infections.
(Mr. Doe) was admitted to the
Hospital with a Pneumonia type lung infection which got steadily worse each
day. The Oncologist did not see (Mr. Doe) during this crucial time.
Out of a large team of changing Doctors and Residents we mostly saw one
Resident that week who basically said nothing could be done for the infection…
When asked what could be done for his pain the Resident glibly replied,”Research
has shown that Marijuana is good for pain.” Useless
information at the time.
Shortly after (Mr. Doe) was
transferred to the Intensive Care Unit. The Oncologist, knowing that I was the
Health Proxy, went behind my back trying to pressure my Partner
into signing a “Do Not Resuscitate” form. My partner
was distressed when he told me the Doctor and a Resident had approached him
with a form he did not want. He wanted to live!
On (the next day) I walked in
on the determined Oncologist with a Resident again, for the second time, trying
to pressure (Mr. Doe) into signing a DNR. I showed my legal papers that
day. The doctor used Residents supposedly as Witnesses for the
Patient.
Doctors should not be
allowed to pressure or intimidate Patients into choosing death without the
presence of the Patient’s family or designated Proxy…
On (the same day) late
afternoon two young people either Doctors or Residents said my Partner would
need Ventilator Life Support for his critical lung infection. They
strongly advised against the ventilator saying, “Most people wouldn’t choose
that. He only has a 50-50 chance of survival.” To me letting the Love of
My Life die with a good 50-50 chance at life would be MURDER. I chose the
ventilator against their ‘Whatever’ attitude of disdain.
On (the next day) an especially
nasty light haired Nurse, who had angrily confronted my Ventilator decision the
day before, barked when I asked his condition. “He’s
only alive because WE’RE keeping him alive, His numbers are good because WE’RE
making them good!” Yikes, I had the stupid idea that Hospitals are supposed
to save lives. Yes, there may come a time for the patient and family to
decline treatment but not by being bullied to death.
(Two days later) after
a Pulmonary Doctor told me the Patient was showing improvement the Oncologist
showed up with the usual foreboding of doom, got within inches of my face and
arrogantly berated me with eyes blazing, “I’ve had patients
come off the ventilator and tell their families “DON’T YOU EVER DO THAT TO ME
AGAIN!” A nasty unprofessional encounter. I had to inform the hostile
Doctor that I knew of John Doe’s wishes FORTY YEARS LONGER than his five minute
visit.
(The next day) a patronizing
brunette Nurse gave me a speech on how “Nurses are patient
advocates” as though I were his enemy. She mouthed a
righteous pitch on “Death with Dignity” then
proclaimed, “(Mr. Doe) feels that he has lost his right of
choice.” With his eyes closed and a Ventilator tube down
his throat (Mr. Doe) couldn’t speak but she wisely knew of his wish to die.
In fact my decision was right
and the GODS were wrong. The week after Life Support (Mr. Doe) was
feeling, eating and looking well. Not one Death Advocate had a
glad word to say about his recovery. He was released to a
rehab center to rebuild strength for further cancer treatment. He was discharged
to the rehab on high doses of prescribed blood thinners with no hospital
oversight.
Three days later the patient
was sent from the rehab facility in pain from exercise back to the same
hospital’s emergency room where internal hemorrhaging due to blood thinners was
misdiagnosed as sciatica back pain. He was released back to the rehab. He
continued to be in severe pain but the rehab doctor on call would not come over
the weekend. He sent his Nurse on Monday. She sent (Mr. Doe) back to the
hospital in near death condition. It had taken much begging before the
Rehab even called the doctor.
It turns out that the doctor on
call had no legal obligation to see the patient. By the time (Mr. Doe} was finally
readmitted to the hospital and the hemorrhaging diagnosed and treated, it was
too late. After blood transfusions he did not recover well enough for
further cancer treatment and was sent home to die.
The hospital later admitted the
misdiagnosis, in writing, but claimed it was due to the patient’s atypical
symptoms. The hospital was still cited by the State Division of Licensing
because a Physician Assistant, PA, made the incorrect diagnosis of sciatica
without consulting a Doctor. Here is more from the Patient’s Partner:
(Little more than a week later)
upon leaving (the hospital) to go back to our town to die I got my last
scolding from one of the last team Doctors saying more than once, “You’re
the ONE who’s keeping him Alive, we often have this PROBLEM with
Couples.” Love is now a problem.
…Never before had I imagined
being in a Hospital that wants the Patient to DIE. From this awful
experience I believe that with legal ASSISTED SUICIDE those
patients who want to die will be outnumbered by those Elderly who are forced to
die. DEATH IS GUARANTEED TO ALL without Assistance. In my view it is more
important to protect the RIGHT TO LIVE than the Right to Die.
(Mr. Doe) remained in constant
pain with no use of his legs since the two days of misdiagnosed,
untreated hemorrhaging. He died 11 days after leaving the hospital. This
happened in 2010.
Whatever you think about aggressive
care at the end of life, surely doctors should not be prejudiced enough to
try to destroy the autonomy of a patient who, during some of these events, was
able to communicate his dismay at being pressured. Surely he should have
never been pressured in the absence of his life partner and proxy, especially
by two doctors, one of whom was dependent on her superior and scarcely could be
expected to countermand him.
Shockingly, such behavior is not actually illegal in Vermont. In fact, the physician did not even have to consult the patient or proxy. All he was legally required to do was recruit another clinician (the resident?!) to join with him in defining resuscitation as futile care by issuing “a certification…that resuscitation would not prevent the imminent death of the patient, should the patient experience cardiac arrest (http://healthvermont.gov/regs/ad/dnr_colst_instructions.pdf).

The wink-wink urban legend.
In a report by Dr. James G. Salwitz dated February 6,2015 he writes The Line Between Comfort Care and Murder
"Do you mean that patients are deliberately killed by their physicians?" Absolutely was the answer, confirmed by the nods of a nearly unanimous audience.
An older gentleman clarified "It's like wink-wink and then it's done."
...
Nonetheless for many mercy killing is part of the urban legend and is, wink-wink acceptable. ....Are backroom medical murders really a ubiquitous dark secret?.
see http://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2015/02line-comfort-car-murder.html
Apparently, medical murders are done in nursing homes in British Columbia, I was told this by a registered nurse. It is so routine that nurses don't even consider that it is murder, it is just done.
ubiquitous means existing everywhere

Open Meeting on Ethics of Medical Dying at SFU
There is a meeting in which Dr. Susan Hoghson will bespeaking on the Ethics of Medical Dying. It should be interesting. It is an open meeting at Bluson Hall Room 11028 at SFU Burnaby Campus. The hall is next to the main bus loop at the top of the mountain.March 6, 2015 at 3:30 pm. If you can find time, please attend.On the roof you will find 11028.
I attended the talk on March 6 2015 ( earlier today) the speaker said that the stats in Oregon proved that those that asked for assistance to kill themselves were not vulnerable: they were white, older, college educated, middle class (rich but not ultra rich ) and minuscule in number. So who started this madness. This costly exercise in one's autonomy for a few at the expense of suicide.. So far no one has accused the medical establishment of anything but if it saved $resources it would seem plausible.

18 November 2013: the day Randy should have died revisited
I woke up this morning again with the November 18 2013 incident haunting me. I do not know why that incident was not investigated as I told enough people about it especially at emergency in VCH. Who made the decision that Randy should die. Ro the manager of GPC had some of Randy's stuff packed up and she asked me to take them home. Thinking back I though it strange as he was in a large single room. She knew what was going to happen.
And why was it that when Randy was in VGH he was full code and immediately upon his return to GPC Dunne changed the coding to DNR and DNT and no one told me. At least the social worker should have told me but then he could have been under instructions not to. I relied on him to let me know what was happening.
I want to thank that RN who was on night shift who phoned me that Randy was dying so I had the time to rush to GPC and save Randy. I suspect the nurse did not know that I lived only a short distance from GPC. By chance or whatever, I thank him..
And what did GPC do then, they decided to rob me of my right to ever see Randy again. I remember telling Ro when she told me that this is what could happen I said that was impossible as the only thing they have on me is that I send emails....I suspect she was warning me not to talk about the DNR incident or I will never see Randy again.

Can you believe this ...
National Post 9/6/2014 by Tom Blackwell
Nurses are putting pressure on doctors to kill patients.
"Contentious cases can have a deep impact on the health-care system, said Dr. Chris Doig, who has seen nurses quit the ICU after staff were forced to provide treatment they considered futile."
Now it is not up to a patient or a family member or a doctor, now it is up to a nurse.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
margaretdore@margaretdore.com
Physician-assisted suicide is against public policy:
a) it encourages people with years to live to throw away their lives
b) it creates new paths of elder abuse
c) it empowers healthcare systems to steer
people to suicide.

Bereavement not ending: Lies and Brian Willliams (NBC)
I keeping thinking about how terribly Randy and I were treated by Vancouver Coastal Health and it is still going on. I asked to see a patient at George Pearson Centre for the past six months and each time I am told that she is not up to it. She is not saying she does not want to see me, it is George Pearson who is hindering it.
They constructively imprisoned Randy for years and now they are taking the right away from this woman who is totally disabled from seeing me. I have no way to access her. And believe it or not I am afraid of the mob hysteria I had encountered (assault) and bullying by staff and security at GPC. Remember in October 2013 I attempted to remove Randy from the caustic environment from GPC and I was attacked. Whatever I did was in self defensive. AND it was Randy's wish as he wanted to leave as he hated GPC and his doctor (when you ask him what he thought of Dr. Dunne, Randy would give the finger) and finally I decided to get him away and do my fiduciary duty to him, I was attacked.
In their panic the staff lied and said I alledgedly assaulted staff and even a police officer (not true) that woman security guard Karen Marshall she put a choke hold on me which is illegal and which she confessed to in a report. I have a picture of the bruising to my arms when staff tried to pull me from holding on to Randy's wheelchair. She should have been fired for that alone and criminally charged.Nothing was formally investigated; just forgotten.like other incidents.The Report is so inaccurate it says that Randy's wheelchair was a 20,000 lb electric chair and I was using it as a weapon; not true, it was a light-weight manual wheel chair which I could move with a finger. Even the police would do nothing except to convince me to leave Randy there.
Remember I was doing my fiduciary duty to Randy as his representative/guardian/substitute decision maker, and Randy's repeated request to be removed from GPC, There are numerous emails to VGH and also my verbal requests to verify this..
But since the court of public opinion, the media, won't investigate, because of some source of theirs who alledged that I commited an assault and I was distraught because of my over concern for Randy, they won't get involved as they were afraid (a reporter told me) that it would make matters worse.
How worse can it get, Randy is dead now and VCH banned me from seeing Randy before he died. Randy was on his death bed, why else would Dr. Dunne put a DNR Order on him without his consent and then Dunne bans me from seeing Randy. Barbaric and malicious.
A DNR was bad enough but to make sure Randy would die on November 18 2013, Dr. Dunne put a Do Not Transfer Order on Randy as well. So Randy would be stopped from going to VGH if he needed acute care and he did need it on November 18 2013. He would have died if I did get to him before he did..
Remember the DNR incident happened on November 18 2013 and Randy died on April 13 2014.

A DNR in British Columbia.
From wikipedia
In British Columbia it seems that a patient doesn't have to be consulted. When Randy's DNR was placed on him in November 15 2013 he nor I were consulted. Only his doctor. This was criminal mischief by Dr. Dunn. Dr. Dunn never explained why he put the DNR on Randy. I want to know why.

Canada
In 1995, the Canadian Medical Association, the Canadian Hospital Association, the Canadian Nursing Association, and the Catholic Health Association of Canada worked with the Canadian Bar Association to clarify and create a Joint Statement on Resuscitate Interventions guideline for use to determine when and how DNR orders are assigned.[12] DNR orders must be discussed by doctors with the patient or patient agents or patient's significant others. Unilateral DNR by medical professionals can only be used if the patient is in a vegetative state.[12]In British Columbia it seems that a patient doesn't have to be consulted. When Randy's DNR was placed on him in November 15 2013 he nor I were consulted. Only his doctor. This was criminal mischief by Dr. Dunn. Dr. Dunn never explained why he put the DNR on Randy.

Flashback: Tanu November 2010
I woke up this morning February 2 2015 shaking in a cold sweat crying and thinking of Randy.
The first day I went to Randy in 2010 (after VGH attempted to hide him)(I found him by accident) I was told by Nurse Ratchet that I was not to touch the bed or be given a chair nor was I allowed to talk to anyone unless I was spoken to first. Trust her she said as she had the power so that I would never see Randy again. What policy book did she get that from. I am sure there is such a book be it verbal rather than written which only supervisors are privy to.
And she managed to get me 100% banned from seeing Randy in 2014 while he was dying. There was nothing in the banning letters in January 2014 that said I could see Randy if he was near real death. After his death I cried for months and could do nothing to mitigate my loss.
Who are these people who make a game of demoralizing patients and their families. And to make it worse to get me banned VCH got outside consultants who did not talk to me but did write damaging reports that I was not allowed to dispute or know about. In fact they say what they want because they are protected saying it is confidential. The consultants used hearsay from staff. What a waste of money. What deceit. If I was an employee I would be horrified that they were doing this to them as well.
Another woman supervisor also told me in 2011 that I would never see Randy even on his death bed. Her name was Ms. Linda Rose. This was after I asked the Chairman of the Board Kip Woodward for an investigation. When I relayed this to a social worker she said that it was something Linda Rose would do..
Who trains these people to be borderline
psychopaths. Or do they just learn it on the job.:It is a game to them to see how long it takes to demoralize their
prey. I see no other justification for causing such harm. I scream
inside myself knowing how Randy was terrorized not knowing if he would ever see
me again. These medical bully-psychos are
all around us in positions of minuet power that slowly compound causing
incredible harm bordering on the barbaric. They are actors; they have no guilt
or horror.
I am not the only one they ban from hospitals in this way. It is noticeable: one day family members/friends are there, the next day they are never seen again. Again who is going to go against VCH after you are demoralized . Cameras should be in every ward to make sure that the nurses and patients and family members are treated with respect. I asked for a full investigation into all the allegations from 2010 and it was never done.
