Reply #8: The Physician should speak up about this [View All]

[Kolesar]

I went through a situation like this when the nursing home insisted on putting a feeding tube into my father, after he had had a stroke. I had family members who caved in to the pressure and intimidation that the nursing home social director put on them, and "out voted" me. They put a feeding tube in through my father's nose although he was already showing signs of organ failure or "shutting down". He died in a few days after exhibiting all sorts of digestive problems that I do not wish to discuss.

Damn those absolutists, making decisions to cover their hides "Nobody is allowed to starve at Glenview". Damn you Jeb Bush, pandering to your psycho christian constituents.

Speak up Doctor Dean, you are the front runner and the new head of the Democratic Party. Give 'em hell.
