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.

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.
