No Quality of Life and the State took over ...

Much like what happened to me.  The doctors decided Randy had no quality of life and he had to die.  In order to do this, VCHA had to create evidence against me so any rights I might have would be forfeited and to do that the PGT had to take away my enduring power of attorney and representation agreement from me.  They used stealth methods to demoralize and discredit me.  The proof they created would not stand up in a court of law so VCHA is intent upon having the litigation dismissed over a technicality. I was accused by a QC that I had no respect for the law when in truth it is lawyers who have no respect for the law. Why did it take me so long to see this. It is all about the law.

Quadriplegic COVID-19 Patient Starved by Texas Doctor because of his Disability

0
Reading Time: 2 minutes Michael Hickson, a 46-year-old COVID-19 patient, was starved and left without adequate treatment for his illnesses at St. David’s South Austin Medical Center. His wife, Melissa, says the hospital refused to treat his illnesses because of his disability.
Michael Hickson became quadriplegic due to receiving CPR after he went into sudden cardiac arrest while driving Melissa to work in May 2017. Melissa and their five children stayed by Michael’s side throughout his recovery. He landed back in the hospital in 2020 after contracting COVID-19 and pneumonia from a staff member at his nursing home.
Michael was conscious and alert but could not communicate verbally. He responded to jokes, shook his head, and puckered his lips on a FaceTime call when Melissa requested a kiss. Melissa asked if she could pray with her husband and their children, to which he nodded “yes.” But the doctor soon told Melissa her husband would be placed in hospice against her will. In a recorded conversation, the St. David’s doctor told Melissa her husband would not receive treatment because of his disability, despite her wishes.
St. David’s doctor: “So as of right now, his quality of life – he doesn’t have much of one.”
Melissa: “What do you mean? Because he’s paralyzed with a brain injury he doesn’t have quality of life?”
St. David’s doctor: “Correct.”


While Michael’s wife and another family member were litigating in court who would be Michael’s permanent guardian, a judge named an Austin-area organization called Family Eldercare as temporary guardian over Michael. Family Eldercare granted the doctor’s orders to not treat Michael and instead place him in hospice. Alarmingly, the doctor reiterated the scary reality that she had zero say in whether her husband lived or died. The doctor told Melissa, “but at this point, we are going to do what we feel is best for him along with the state and this is what we decided… this is the decision between the medical community and the state.”
Michael was left without food or treatment for six days despite Melissa’s will to save her husband. He passed away from the untreated illnesses on June 11, 2020.
Now, Melissa and her children grieve their beloved husband and dad. Melissa stated, “I’m struggling to understand how and why this could ever happen. I lost my best friend, my better half, the other half of my heart.” She continued:

I was stripped of my rights as a wife, and left helplessly watching my husband be executed. I now have no husband, a widow at 47. My children left with no father to celebrate Father’s Day. All taken away from us. I have no other words to express how I feel today except hurt, angry, and frustrated.

19 June 2020



I knew there was something wrong these past few days. I have a split lip with an infection.  So my body must have some kind of infection within it. The area around the cut is hard.  I hope that a fever does not develop.

There seems to be something wrong with my computer.  I tried to arrange to have a technician look at it.  They all said that I would have to leave the computer and it would take up to two weeks before they could look at it.  I think it must be a computer virus as it is getting forever to connect properly and pages are overlapping or disappearing. Norton is installed in my computer. I will have to resort to Canada Post for communicating Before if I had a problem I could go to the library and use one of theirs but all the libraries are now closed.   I sometimes wonder if it is possible to go through one day without a problem.

Death by a thousand cuts ...

New York passed a law (June 17 2020) saying that hospitals cannot fire nurses for speaking out.

Finally after one week, I am getting over my anxiety from last week. But I am still exhausted and tired.  I hate feeling this way.

Why They Don't Trust Us | Healthcare Professionals & Conspiracy Theories




This video has to be viewed.  ZdoggMD is a physician and has a platform which mirrors my ideas as to what is wrong with the health care system and that is that the system has to be made accountable and physicians have to take back their power.  Physicians should not be dictated to by risk management.

Dr. Dunne saying that if it was up to him he would never ban anyone and it wasn't his decision to place a DNR/DNT/CCO Order on my husband. Who was telling him what to do. Physicians have to take back their power.

After my last post, I decided not to continue with my stress-induced health problems but I have changed my mind for this moment as I have just woken up crying and am totally soaking wet that I can rub water off my skin.  I need to change my depends and take a shower....

13 June 2020 @ 12.17 pm @5:52 pm


@ 12,17 am The cold of my living space woke me up.  I am freezing cold and shivering.  My body is still wanting to sleep. My eyes are wanting to close.  I am covering myself with additional blankets so I can get warm again and fall asleep. When next I wake I hope to have some energy.  This is what happens each time the tribe does things in this unequal field. I want the hurt in my teeth to go away.

@5:52 pm  I just woke up and I am soaking wet. My hands are wet as they attempt to slide over the keyboard. Nothing gets done again.

This is what happens each time I have to deal with the tribe.  It takes me days to get over when I get an email from the tribe.

No one should be allowed to go to court without a lawyer. And there is no method to force a lawyer to act for you.  Through the decades the process has become more and more complex and the judiciary more and more inflexible.

 On Monday I am going to repeat the purpose of a lawyer as per the law society.  At the moment I can't bear to fact check it but I assure you what they do and what they are supposed to do are polar opposites.

My eyelids can't stay open and I am freezing cold again.


@10:45 pm  I woke again.  Hot and soaking wet.  My mind is blacnk.  I want to sleep again.

I just woke up soaking wet with flashbacks of Dr. Ostrow poking at me. He was the CEO of VCHA at that time and it was under his instruction that I not see my husband. When this was happening in 2014 it was he who said that I could not even see Randy for two minutes a day so that Randy would know that I did not abandon him. I was told this my risk management.  My body is soaking wet and there are tears in my eyes.  It was he who assassinated me. He knew what was going on as I would send him emails. But then I might be wrong about that, he most likely never read them. I do not know what happened to him.  One minute he was the CEO of VCHA then he was gone replaced by the industrial engineer.  I used to refer to him and Mary as Napolean and His Josephine.  His departure had nothing to do with me.  I was nothing more than a mosquito in remote Africa in his chaotic life.  He and Josephine were focused on implementing "mean management" to save a few dollars. VCHA had to cut back on tissue paper.


@10:28 am.  I just woke up.  I am shaking.  I do not know what I am going to do.  I hate feeling this way. This is called stress.  How does one overcome the injustice that I had and having to deal with?
It is like a case of spousal abuse.  My body is so so exhausted I am falling asleep again.
.
@3:16 pm.  I am awake again but I can barely move. This has happened before and it takes a few days to recover.  I know of no research done on how litigation can affect someone who is not trained.  The unknown is scary coupled with the knowledge that it would be impossible to become an experienced lawyer without a law degree.  The process is so civilized and politically correct which means any process takes forever and this archaic process will eventually implode.  Waiting ten years for an apology does not cut it. I want to know what did I do that was so severe that it was necessary for VCHA to do this to me. At the beginning I wanted an independent person to wade in and set the matter straight.  I attended a board meeting and the chairman of the board told Mary Rose to do this but of course, she did not.  She decided not to do it and told me that she could arrange that I never see Randy again.  A simple solution was impossible for VCHA to attempt.  It was necessary for VCHA  to declare that I was a NOK and no one would even attempt to help.  NOK is a code to tell everyone that I was Not Okay.   I remember Mary at one time decided to talk to me but she was told not to by risk management. And then they refused to let me see Carolanne Chamberlain.  That is another rant.

I am tired again. When I am feeling this way I cannot care about anything.
