Wife works as a carer, she told me over a year ago that residents are given midazolam when undergoing "end of life treatment".

I'll ask her tomorrow for more details.

Didn't learn anything thrilling except it's given to dying residents who have a DNR (do not revive) via syringe driver, she works in a privately owned home as well so I'm not sure if it's more prevalent in NHS ran homes.

She's under no illusion it's legalised euthanasia but she's very nonchalant about it.

Thank you UK Anon, we all should keep our eyes on this in every Country.

Not UK, but people in the Pro-Life Movement in the USA have been making similar accusations against hospices/nursing homes for years. Typically used on patients that are difficult, need complex medical care, or who the staff don't want to deal with anymore. Open the bed up for new customers. It's sick.

Great reminder Patriot. Thank you, this goes to Husseins Unafforable Health Care scam with the assisted suicide option crap.

My dad had cancer but died from the deliberate morphine od.

I get it. He was in extreme incurable pain.

What shits me is the cowardice. Euthanizing is illegal so our society does it sneakily

You make a good point re: euthanasia. I've seen family die of cancer and it was ugly. Pain has upper limits of which we can hardly imagine, until it happens to us. I've also mercy-killed animals who were badly injured. Perhaps I would choose it for myself if I was put in that situation. Not for me to say.

I think in this case, the patients and/or their families weren't given a choice. It was just done, sneakily, like you said. Medical malpractice was ~3rd leading cause of death before covid. I wouldn't want some burnt-out nurse practitioner make that call on me. Or insurance review board.

Our society lacks the maturity and most of all the masculinity to have these deep conversations.

Like you I too put down suffering animals

For you and I are men. We do what we must

New customer also means new pricing.

If I was old had no family to care for me and was stuck in a home with just handfuls of pills and medications keeping me alive...I would welcome it.
