No matter what the intention the dosage of Pavulon was too high, and it was concealed. IT was a Paralyzing drug in an overdose amount no matter what...no matter what they chose not to disclose this error or correct it and they chose not to disclose that she was given a paralytic drug to begin with. No matter what the bottom line is the bottom line. Rantings aside....what happened was wrong.

Emergency Rooms still full


What concerns me when I close my eyes at night is a picture I cannot shake. Its an Emergency Room. In the Emergency Room I see my mother sick, dryed out standing glossy eyed with at least a thousand other patients...My mother may be gone but even now the Emergency Rooms and Doctors Offices are jam packed with Patients who think Doctors have all the answers. Patients who rush to the Emergency Rooms with Mounds of emotional pain that they keep trying to treat physically. I mean isn't that really the bottom line anyway for my mother and Michael Jackson?? Their emotional pain that never got treated that they never got relief from? A doctor should be able to discern the difference. He should be able to take enough time with his clients to be able to see what really needs to be treated. Lets face it they don't have all the answers or even half the answers. Most of the time you can only get a clear diagnosis if they get lucky or if you walk in with your severed limb in your hands. What makes me sick is how doctors have become predators pushing their meds. I take meds. I have issues with my health I am in no way saying do not see a doctor or see a good one...I am saying be involved in your healthcare. Know what you are taking and check on loved ones you suspect have gotten dragged in...Kennewick General is one hospital you dont want to be at ...in it you are no longer human no longer have rights...and obviously they don't handle health care straight up find out the ones in your area that do. How many people are going to die this year? How many people will die while a doctor hides behind their corpse? How many hospitals will look the other way when they know they are wrong because paying a dollar and admitting a mistake is far more important to them than the loss and dignity of anothers life?? How long will we tolerate physicians who work for us and get paid by us "PLAYING DOCTOR" when we will change and expect better for ourselves People are going to die this year at the hands of a doctor or hospital maybe both...I'll say it again they are packed with people wanting relief from physical pain who end up dead. Glossy eyed walking dead people not understanding the thing they are going to lose is their life...that what they are forfeiting in and effort to feel better is their health. Pills have consequences. Blind trust in a doctor who has not earned it is stupidity. We should have a national roster set up for Doctors to have their mugs posted on to warn future patients we should be able to see in a ten year time period just how many of their patients died what drugs were used, how their ailments were treated...as a consumer just like reading the label on a jar of peanut butter all the ingredients should be posted. We have the right to know.

Euthinized

Euthanasia protocol
See also: Lethal injection#Euthanasia protocol

A euthanasia device invented by Dr Philip Nitschke that facilitated euthanasia through heavy doses of drugs. The laptop screen led the user through a series of steps and questions to ensure he or she was fully prepared. The machine in a museum.
Euthanasia can be accomplished either through an oral, intravenous, or intramuscular administration of drugs, or by oxygen deprivation (anoxia), as in some euthanasia machines. In individuals who are incapable of swallowing lethal doses of medication, an intravenous route is preferred. The following is a Dutch protocol for parenteral (intravenous) administration to obtain euthanasia:
Intravenous administration is the most reliable and rapid way to accomplish euthanasia. A coma is first induced by intravenous administration of 20 mg/kg sodium thiopental (Nesdonal) in a small volume (10 ml physiological saline). Then a triple intravenous dose of a non-depolarizing neuromuscular muscle relaxant is given, such as 20 mg pancuronium bromide (Pavulon) or 20 mg vecuronium bromide (Norcuron). The muscle relaxant should preferably be given intravenously, in order to ensure optimal availability. Only for pancuronium bromide (Pavulon) are there substantial indications that the agent may also be given intramuscularly in a dosage of 40 mg.[58]
With regards to nonvoluntary euthanasia, the cases where the person could consent but was not asked are often viewed differently from those where the person could not consent. Some people raise issues regarding stereotypes of disability that can lead to non-disabled or less disabled people overestimating the person's suffering, or assuming it to be unchangeable when it could be changed. For example, many disability rights advocates responded to Tracy Latimer's murder by pointing out that her parents had refused a hip surgery that could have greatly reduced or eliminated the physical pain Tracy experienced. Also, they point out that a severely disabled person need not be in emotional pain at their situation, and claim that the emotional pain, if present, is due to societal prejudice rather than the disability, analogous to a person of a particular ethnicity wanting to die because they have internalized negative stereotypes about their ethnic background. Another example of this is Keith McCormick, a New Zealander Paralympian who was "mercy-killed" by his caregiver, and Matthew Sutton.[59][60]
With regards to voluntary euthanasia, many people argue that 'equal access' should apply to access to suicide as well, so therefore disabled people who cannot kill themselves should have access to voluntary euthanasia.
