Beware: Hospitals think "do not resuscitate" means you don't want to live

Hip-fracture surgery patients who opt for DNRs reduce their changes of surviving their hospital stay.  At Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, researches found that "morality was over two times greater" for patients with DNRs than those without them.

For the healthiest patients, the impact was even more extreme.  DNRs upped their risk of dying in the hospital from 3 percent to 17 percent.

DNRs are dangerous even if you are healthy.

18 November 2013 : the day Randy should have died if I hadn't rescued him.

Duping Delight

I came across what "duping delight" means. It is what happened to me at the hands of the VCHA.  From social workers, administrators, nurses and a physician when they asserted that I had no legal rights regarding my husband.

Duping delight is what happens when a person in a position of power looks down on you and displays a half-smile (or a quarter-smile).  When this would happen to me I was taken aback into silence as I believed this was not true. How could I not have any rights when it concerned my husband.  And after all these years I found out that they were correct.

VCHA could have you banned and your power of attorney and representation agreement revoked based on collateral (snowflake) gossip without even telling you aforehand.  The PGT is supposed to be independent but it does what VCHA tells it.

I was talking to a resident from George Pearson Centre recently and was told that no one complains as they will be punished.  The only problem with that reasoning is that if patients are compliant then it is easier to kill them.

And now I have been told (November 8, 2019) that I have to pay advanced costs in the amount of $16,000 by December 31 2019 to VCHA/PGT or my application/case against the health authority and the PGT cannot go forward. So what is the point. You do the right thing and you are blocked by lack of money.   I will never get a court decision. It is called security for costs.

I also would like you to listen to minutes 2 to 10 on YouTube which will tell you that DNRs could hasten your death. What Does that DNR Really Mean? Dr. F. Mararchi.  Posted June 29 2019.

DNRs are dangerous for patients with pneumonia, trauma, strokes, vascular problems and other treatable conditions, according to studies in the Archives of Internal Medicine and Critical Care Medicine. An analysis of California hospitals published found that patients had higher death rates in hospitals that encourage DNRs.  My take is that if a patient cannot be encouraged then they coerce patients to agree to a DNR.  VCHA never tells a patient why a DNR is dangerous.

Wanting to Live

Dear Diana

I am at the end of my life and I know what I want:  I need a safe secure place to be in so I can develop the Randy Michael Walker Foundation to educate so we know what the health authorities are doing to hasten death.  Longevity is going down and it is not because of opioids.

I want you to go to You Tube and watch the first ten minutes of the video:  What does that DNR Really Mean by Dr. Fred Mirarchi posted June 29  2019.  If you have ever truly loved anyone, you will want every moment to be with him.

I am talking about people wanting to live, not about people who want to die.

All this talk about DNRs and Euthanasia is about people wanting to die.  If you want to live when you are sick, resources are limited.  See Roger Foley from Ottawa and Sean Tagert from Powell River.

Violently suctioning

Dear Diana:

I violently just woke up shakening and crying remembering how Randy was violently being suctioned by staff to the point he did not want them to touch him.  And VCHA are the professionals we trust to look after us when we are hospitalized. 

Every single patient in hospital should be assigned camera surveillance to protect the patient from harm andnot give privacy to inflict pain to patients.

My PTSD will never leave me. 

Tears

At the court application today it was mentioned that I could only see Randy on the grass next to the sidewalk at George Pearson Centre . Note outside on the grass in inclement weather. After two meeting I was told by the manager, Ro Angm that ti was too much work for her to arrange so I could not see him any more.

The lawyer did not mention that the meetings were less than ten minutes each and we were surrounded by security guards and staff.

I do not know what they were protecting.  Randy was dying and I could not be with him.

I still do not know why an independent investigation was not done at that time but then those that do the investigations are the ones who banned me.

Resuming my blog

Finally after all this time, my communications and my ability to post blogs are working.

I do not know why it takes so long to get techonology resuming.

I had water damage to all my devices and it is only now that they are working.

Trying to coordinate and get things done caused nothing but frustration and and I could not do much more.

Then there was the damage water from the two rain floods that entered my unit.  What a mess.

I am going to write Ralf Nader maybe he can do something about making devices wterproof.  It is a safety issue in our age of technology/communications.
