Today being Thursday January 21 2016, the Canadian Medical Association is presenting its Principles-based Recommendations for a Canadian Approach to Assisted Dying. What a joke.
The Recommendations (if the government accepts the recommendations) will be stealth law giving 99.9% power to doctors to do euthanasia when they want. There is a window, so it will be opened. The window is ...a standard waiting period is not appropriate for all requests ...this could be shorter ...the attending physician must wait no longer than 48 hours, or as soon as is practicable, after the written request is received.
Think about it why have a waiting period as each day costs $big, so why wait. More importantly, the patient may change her mind and all the preparation are for naught. Doctors do not like patients who change their minds. This is what Ro Ang, the manager of GPC, told me. So was Randy declared incompetent because he might change his mind. Is this one of the reasons used to justify his incompetence.
Like the young woman (Brittany Maynard) in Oregon, she changed her mind against assisted suicide as it was too soon, she said (there was a video), and the next day she was dead. Was she forced to follow through with her original date to commit suicide. Also, Gloria Taylor, who was happy with all the attention she was getting. She must have had a DNR on her and emergency refused to agressively treat her. She did not want to die from an infection.
The first few of those who will be euthanized will have perfect oversight to satisfy the public as to safe safeguards but after that what: confidentiality; and a death certificate, not mentioning euthanasia so an insurance company (I think that is criminal fraud) will never know.
CORRECTION; Quebec is already euthanizing patients against federal law and details (the process) is confidential. We live in Dodge City.
The CMA recommendations are not even dated. Trust doctors, you cannot even trust them to date a document recommending how they are going to euthanize patients. What an oversight.
Listen to this: http://rewardsradiotv.com/AUDIO/vickie-t/index2.htm. This is also what is happening in Canada not only to the elderly but to anyone the system targets as not having a meaningful quality of life. This parallels what happened to Randy and I. The legislators in the US and also in Canada know that this is happening but do nothing except to maintain the status quo thus creating a culture of death.

BC's Health Authorities on how to effectively communicate with the public
A You Tube video.
If the video does not show up on the blog page, please click the title below.
BC's Health Authorities on how to effectively communicate with the public,
1. delay
2, deny
3. divide
4, discredit
5. demoralize
The menu/recipe did not mention the 6th "d" being death. Death is the result leaving the victim traumatized and scared of the health authorities, horrified that she was part of the premeditated menu and unable to do anything.
I was expected to become stockholmed in which the abused identify positively with the abusers (and in my case Vancouver Coastal Health) and all would be forgiven.
Below explanation from Wikipedia.
Stockholm syndrome can be seen as a form of traumatic bonding, which does not necessarily require a hostage scenario, but which describes "strong emotional ties that develop between two persons where one person intermittently harasses, beats, threatens, abuses, or intimidates the other."[4] One commonly used hypothesis to explain the effect of Stockholm syndrome is based on Freudian theory. It suggests that the bonding is the individual's response to trauma in becoming a victim. Identifying with the aggressor is one way that the ego defends itself. When a victim believes the same values as the aggressor, they cease to be perceived as a threat.
"Of all forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhuman."

The Red Cross, it is corrupt
I did not know that the Red Cross was corrupt. So if I did not know this I assume 99.9% of the population out there is not aware of what is happening.
I am sure that the Red Cross is like the Vancouver Food Bank that it has no members from the public. Do not give any money to any charitable cause unless you can be an active members i.e. access to detailed financial records ,membership lists, attending board meetings, all that should be transparent, ability to become a director.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/06/04/red-cross-haiti-report_n_7511080.html
Years ago I was part of a conversation and I was told that well-educated parents were directing their children to enter the non-profit sector rather than public service as the non-profit sector is where the money is with job security and very little accountability. Governments are downloading their social responsibilities to non-profits.
When there is an environmental disaster the military should be sent in to reconstruct. Roosevelt got tired of the prima donnas that were constructing the Hoover Dam so he sent in the military to finish its construction: those who had to followed orders and could not quit.

Inconsistency of Modern Biothics ( health care)
The inconsistency of modern bioethics is breathtaking. On the one hand,
if you want to end your chronic suffering or deal with a terminal
illness by committing suicide, today’s utilitarian ethicists will invoke
personal autonomy as the guiding principle and endorse your plans. But
if you choose to continue living in spite of your suffering or terminal
diagnosis, those same ethicists brush aside the notion of personal
autonomy, label your request as unreasonable, and conclude that you are
sadly incapable of making the “right” choice.

Note: I was told that it was in Randy's best interest to die.
At the time when I was told on my cell that Randy was being moved to a private room at GPC because he was dying I was at VGH talking to his doctor there and he said Randy was okay. Randy just returned from VGH to GPC. So why was he forced to return against Randy's objections as he was afraid of being returned there to GPC and I advised VGH since 2010 that Randy nor I wanted him in GPC as it was not safe they kept sending him back. I remember being told by VGH that although Randy was full code and that VGH had no power over what Dr. Dunn would do when he was returned to GPC. GPC is a satellite of VGH and VGH said it has no power over GPC and it would not investigate our concern that it was not safe for Randy to be at GPC. How inconceivable. I remember asking for VGH/GPC to send Randy home if he was dying as this was not what Randy wanted and both refused. So I assumed he was not going to die. Trust the health authority, I think not.
As I understand the euthanasia act to be on Februaty 6 2016, that it only takes two doctors to collude together to rid the system of costly longterm chronic patients.
Randy was not on a ventilator, he was on a trach and he was not in pain. Although he was on a trach and could not talk, he knew exactly what they were trying to do with him: hasten his death without his authority to do so by using a do not attempt DNR. I always wondered why they would say do not attempt a DNR on a document that the patient did not sign. Does that mean to tell the health professionals covertly if they had a patient who had signs of an upcoming heart attack because he had a high temperature (pneumonia) or that if a patient was having a trouble breathing not to assist him: put him in an isolated private room "pull the curtain" and let him die alone. Just do not go near the room so you can not hear him gasping for oxygen because then you would have to do something. My musing.
To the patients (and loved ones out there) INSIST that you read and get a copy of your medical report each single day. If your relatives/friends want a copy, the hospital or care home can send them a copy via fax with a caveat by your that all entries have to be readable. Or the hospital can use a cell phone., take a picture of the record, and send it to them. If you are a substitute decision maker, you are entitled to this information: you should be aware of his up-to-date medical file. How else can you make an informed decision; it is easy for the health authority to say you are not capable to make medical decisions and appoint the PGT. This is what they did to me. A copy could be sent to anyone that the patient would want to monitor his progress (advocacy groups).
It is up to the patient to decide who he wants to know his health condition and treatment and not the hospital or the government.

Chris Dunn died today.
Chris Dunn died today 23 December 2015 of natural causes. He was 46. What do they mean by natural causes. If he was going to die anyways why did the Houston Methodist Hospital decide to withdraw life support. Or was it just the money that the Hospital would save by extending the life of Chris by a few hours, a few days, or a few weeks.
It is unconsciousable.

Do Not Resuscitate Orders
http://life.org.nz/euthanasi/euthanasia/euthanasiakeyissues/dnr-orders/Default.htm
At VGH the patient doesn't even sign a DNR, only the doctor, and no witnesses are required.
Under our forthcoming Euthanasia law, euthanasia cannot be executed on a patient who is incompetent. My understanding is that with a DNR, it is the reverse, if a patient is incompetent his surrogate can authorize a DNR.
from the Terry Schiavo Life and Hope Network:
"What is happening to Chris Dunn at Houston Methodist happens daily in medical facilities nationwide," says Bobby Schindler, brother of Terri Schiavo and president of the Terri Schiavo Life & Hope Network.
Schindler continues, "The rights of patients and their family members have been abrogated and turned over to complete strangers—ethics committees, hospital boards and health care professionals. Even in such heartbreaking cases as Mr. Dunn, who is literally begging for his care to be continued, the hospital seems to be taking whatever action possible to remove him from its balance sheet. Hospital administrators should not be able to summarily deny the civil liberties of a disabled patient."
Vancouver Coastal Health denied Randy his civil liberties and also imprisoned him so that I could not access him. We do not have to say that Chris Dunn is in the USA, the same thing is happening here in Canada. Bobby Schindler at least laid the blame on money which is the reason for draconian decisions.
I have asked that the Public Guardian and Trustee to investigate George Pearson Centre, but it hasn't even answered my communication.
Harry Rankin once said to say "coverup" and you will get action but VGH/PGT are immune to even that. I do not know what to do.
Quote from Martin Luther King, Jr., "Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in healthcare is the most shocking and most inhumane."
- When a DNR order is on a chart, doctors often refrain from implementing other life-sustaining treatment
- Some patients are pressured to sign DNR orders, worded with medical jargon they do not understand, when they are in a confused state.

Texas decides Chris Dunn should die ..
American hero faces death sentence in a Texas hospital ... euthanasia! Is a version of this happening in British Columbia.
Right now, an American hero is fighting for his right to make that decision from his hospital bed at Houston Methodist Hospital.
David Christopher “Chris” Dunn is one of countless Texans who have been victimized by the draconian Texas Advance Directives Act (TADA), enacted by the Texas Legislature in 1999.
The law – which benefits the medical lobby and jeopardizes medically vulnerable Texans – protects the financial and discriminatory interests of hospitals and physicians by abrogating the civil liberties of patients.
When a hospital or physician determines for any reason that they disagree with a patient’s decision about his or her own medical treatment and invokes TADA, Texas law protects those healthcare providers as they remove life-sustaining treatment from the patient even when doing so means overriding the patient’s desire and right to live—and even when the treatment is benefitting the patient.
The law does not require that the hospital inform the patient or family about the reasons or basis for the removal of treatment, which could include financial reasons, discrimination, or subjective quality of life value judgments about the life of the patient.
Chris, who has served Texas and the nation as an EMT, in the Harris County Sheriff’s office, and Homeland Security employee, received his death sentence when Methodist invoked the TADA statutory process last month.
After the hospital announced that care would be forcibly removed from Chris against his will, Chris’s family contacted Texas Right to Life, and, with legal aid, an extension of the ten-day waiting period was secured. (The law requires this ten-day period ostensibly to provide time for a patient to transfer to another facility that will accept him and follow his medical directive.).
A Harris County judge has granted two consecutive two-week extensions thus far, but Houston Methodist Hospital has countered these interventions with additional court filings to remove Chris’s mother from the process. His mother, Evelyn, has been vigilant in protecting Chris since he is intermittently sedated. In this You Tube video below, a conscious and alert Chris Dunn pleads for legal assistance from his attorneys:
Most Texans are incredulous upon learning that a patient who is conscious and communicating his desire to live can be killed by the forcible removal of life-sustaining care, which is euthanasia by hospital committee. But this is exactly the scenario you just saw in this powerful video.
What makes the Texas Advance Directives Act even more despicable is the airtight power of the hospital to kill patients without any recourse to appeal the death sentence imposed by the hospital committee. That’s right – the final arbiter over the hospital’s fatal decision is the hospital!
For this reason, Texas Right to Life has been at-the-ready with pro bono lega lcounsel equipped to help countless patients and their families navigate the mind-boggling labyrinth of the hospital system for many years. TADA is an anti-Life, anti-Texan law and endangers all hospitalized patients, and particularly the disabled and the indigent who may not be able to pay for their care.
In no other state are patients subjected to this level of legally-protected abuse of power among hospitals and physicians. Texas Right to Life has spent the last decade working to repeal TADA and restore the Right to Life of hospitalized Texans at the mercy of the powerful medical lobby year after year.
Enough is enough. Join Texas Right to Life to help Chris see Christmas.
