Those with DNRs die sooner than those without DNRs. I did not want my husband to have a DNR.

 From Wikipedia.

Patients with DNR therefore die sooner, even from causes unrelated to CPR. A study grouped 26,300 very sick hospital patients in 2006-10 from the sickest to the healthiest, using a detailed scale from 0 to 44. They compared survival for patients at the same level, with and without DNR orders. In the healthiest group, 69% of those without DNR survived to leave the hospital, while only 7% of equally healthy patients with DNR survived. In the next-healthiest group, 53% of those without DNR survived, and 6% of those with DNR. Among the sickest patients, 6% of those without DNR survived, and none with DNR.^[19]

If you want a better survival rate for yourself do not agree to a DNR.

Years ago Wikipedia did not report on these stats.  

PTSD Injury

 The severe PTSD injury I suffered because of the way VCH treated me is still with me and at times gets very intense.  VCH did not have to target me with the revenge of one of their employees.  It was horrific and unconscionable.  One employee who believed that she was doing the right thing.  The first time I was interviewed by her she said that she had the power that she could make sure that I never see my husband ever again, not even on his deathbed.  And it came to pass.  It was many years ago but I can still hear her words... 

November 21 2022

 Yesterday was a remarkable day.  I was free of the veil of being overwhelmed (depressed) to the point that I had the energy to do things that I was too paralyzed to do before.  I look forward to seeing that today will be remarkable as well.

Jordan Peterson

 I recently discovered Jordan Peterson and what I got out of him is that there are only two things we have in life and that is our reputation and the truth.  And the truth may not surface for three, five or seven years later.  And it does not have to be the truth that is narrowly defined by the law.

Double Down

I have been waking my body being soaking wet these past few days reliving the past litigation.  I am beginning to think that post-litigation is worse than when the litigation was ongoing.  I remember the lawyer for Dr. Dunn saying that he was going to double down with me: a harshness that was unnecessary. I can hear his words in my head now.  And why did Richard Singleton, director of risk management for Vancouver Coastal Health. also say the same thing.  Are they wife beaters.  

Litigation dismissed...

 The litigation was dismissed.  I do not really know why as there are multiple reasons in my head.  I can't get a clear answer from anyone involved.  The best I can tell, it was a technicality (or technicalities).  When you are in a court hearing, things are happening so fast and you do not have time to comprehend what is happening. You can't reference YourTube. And then it is over and you do not fully understand why. To understand why I would have to engage a lawyer if I can find one who would be willing to decipher what happened, which will cost money. Since there was no trial, the allegations set out in the amended notice of civil claim are unanswered so they are still true. Dismissing an action only means that it cannot be litigated again.  It does not mean that the parties are cleared of any wrongdoing. I do not know why the defendants' lawyers insisted that the action be dismissed. You would think that the defendants would want the truth to be known. And I do not know why the hearing justice concurred with them. When I asked scheduling (the court) for an explanation, I was told that it was not possible to communicate with the justice. Maybe it is best that I do not know.
