One of the reasons I refuse to be an organ donor.
To make matters worse here in Germany the libertarians want to make it easier to declare someone "dead". Right now you have to be brain dead but because that's too expensive and time consuming to determine they want to relax requirements to cardiac death.
The other half of the equation is that they will deliberately make you as ill and doomed as possible before declaring you dead. The UK codified this in the Liverpool Care Pathway for the Dying Patient, which was supposedly abolished but actually just rebranded:
The reality is this protocol is likely in practice all across the western world, because we saw identical stories from multiple countries suggesting that it is systematic practice for doctors to fabricate Do Not Resuscitate orders, then drug patients with morphine and fentanyl until they are 'deemed dying', then use midazolam to help them on their way. Brenda Downs and Grace Schara are examples in the US, the testimonies by scottish families in their covid inquiry, the Isle of Man care home whistleblower, and others all tell the identical story, even separated by seas and oceans. Midazolam Matt in the UK interviewing a doctor about how best to give covid patients 'a good death' then claiming he'd never heard of Midazolam in parliament was another tell.
They have no compunction about deliberately trying to kill you, donor or not. The funny thing is they seem more likely to try it for what could be perceived as easy targets with nobody on their side, such as junkies (the OP here), retards (Grace Schara) and the elderly (millions during covid). My take away is that if you ever have to be admitted to hospital for some reason, try to make it clear by way of jovial anecdotes that you have lots of psycho relatives who hate doctors and might try to burn down hospitals if they ever had a grudge against one.
I agree with you until the end. Do not say this as this can cause you to be separated from your family etc. Maintain cordial relationships with the staff but make sure you have close friends and family that can be your advocate.
Yeah, don't make it clear they're willing to burn the hospital down. Make it casually clear they are paying attention to and keeping records of your treatments, and you all believe fully that lawsuits are a fundamental part of maintaining care standards.
I wouldn't do that is my point. Don't antagonize the staff. Watch them carefully and get involved, ask questions, help etc. Its like calling a front line service rep for a big company and bitching at them, when they can actually help you with the issue by escalating or appealing.
But threatening lawsuits or whatever is a joke. I get patients and family like this all the time and they aren't helping themselves at all. it just makes me not even want to work with them. Some guy was trying to threaten me with a lawsuit the other day and i told him to call a lawyer if he wanted to and walked out and never went back into his room. And the other staff backed me up.
This is self righteous but short sighted.
