Last week, the doctors at Mercy called Anne and tried to browbeat her into letting Scott be taken off a ventilator to die. hey were going to unplug Scott Quiner from life at high noon on Thursday, and that was that. Anne’s only shot was to take things to court: The court of law, and the court of public opinion. After we had Anne on to tell her story, Mercy Hospital was barraged with what we’re told was thousands of phone calls and emails.
This is why I don't listen to podcasts; any nut can say anything at anytime and slightly less than half of the country will actually believe it. This one is particularly deranged.

There are some great podcast out there. The fact that there are schmucks out there using the medium shouldn't keep you away. Mein Kampf was a book, but we still read.

Of course I am aware that there are good ones. My issue is that I am too unknowledgeable about so much and might be influenced by one of these schmucks! It's hard to fact check stuff while you are listening to something; it's just easier for me to actually read it so I can just open up another window and fact-check as I go along. And I don't have to read Mein Kampf to know that it would be traumatizing; not a good use of my time. I think I reached my holocaust limit after completing Shirer's Rise and Fall of the Third Reich and Sophie's Choice. Done and done.

It's stunning to read Rise and Fall at this point in time. I first read it in the early 70s and reread it a couple years ago.

Right now with all the anti-semitism going on, it might to too scary to me:) But my interest has been piqued because it was so well written........nah, just can't do it again.

P.S. I read it in the early 80's and it has always stuck with me.
Just to be clear, I don’t think the pandemic is fake. I’m saying the above mentioned scenarios and others like them are likely causing people to question everything.
It is unlikely that the patient referenced was receiving no IV fluids, as his wife states. Even just the amount of fluids in the medications required for sedation and repletion of electrolytes was probably significant.
I just want to add that this is always a possibility. I have encountered family swearing patient has not been ,fed, toileted etc. when it was never true. The last one was a mother who told me her infant was sleepy and not eating (child had other major issues)because the nurses were drugging him.She told me she had proof and a picture. She showed me a picture which was clearly a pre filled saline syringe FLUSH on a pump that was routinely given post IV antibiotic !!!.I say this never trust how much they really understand.Question all.....
