Bring out the ice floes?!?!? Janet Phelan’s article is No.1 on NEO Outlook–are we moving to assisted involuntary suicide for elders?

http://journal-neo.org/2014/11/29/assisted-suicide-a-slippery-slope-to-eugenics/

raises a whole lot of hair raising questions.  As we have all seen from this blog, elders have a (financial) value to many guardians and court connected personnel.  At first, they are targeted with false financial surveys at hospitals, nursing homes, senior centers, “visiting nurses”–any forum to find a target and you will often find a nursing home, hospital, probate court connected attorney or GAL behind it, plus the litany of “professional” leeches and parasites.  (Anti) social workers that bills but never show up (LVL case), case (mis) managers that do the same, fake reports of “agitation” of a ward requiring supervised visitation at $100+ an hour from a $10/hour employee that is glued to a cell phone the entire time, tweeting, emailing or whatever.

But when the money runs out, watch out.  That means the ultimate demise or assisted involuntary suicide for the elder.  The nursing homes and hospitals want seniors with an income of $4,000+ per month for housing a senior and feeding them baloney sandwiches for $1,000 per month or less actual cost.  The patient in the medicare bed at $800 income per month is an ice floe waiting to happen.

And I’m not targeting all nursing homes.  Just a ton of the for profit ones.  Many, many, not for profit nursing homes do a wonderful job, carefully watching over seniors and there is no smell, no bed sores, no chemical restraints unless the patient is truly dangerous.  Still, 40% of all psychotropic drugs are sold to nursing homes as illegal chemical restraints, and no one ever seems to do anything about it, even though they are deadly dangerous to most elders and the FDA says they are contra indicated or not recommended for those under 20 or over 60.  Go figure.  A labeling that is commonly ignored for the financial benefit of many.

So go ahead and read Janet’s recent article on assisted involuntary suicide and then make your decision.  Do we really need ice floes for dementia?  If so, do it and be proud.

But there’s nothing proud in putting down grandma and grandpa like the family dog or cat.

  1. The whole system is designed to take from the weak and vulnerable and give everything to the greedy. I think this has been going on for a very long time.

    • I agree. Most people report troubles going back into 2000, the 1990’s and 80’s. The 80’s are the earliest I know of where estates were blatantly drained to pay 90% or more attorneys fees (Sykes, etc.)
