BENEFITS OF NATIONALIZED MEDICAL CARE

The Royal College of Physicians recently audited the "Liverpool Care Pathway" under which patients in the NHS are killed by having care, feeding, and hydration withdrawn.

It is estimated that 60,000 Britons who have not consented to it die every year as a result of this deliberate euthanasia program.

That is a number that I think exceeds the number of German patients who were killed under the National-Socialist's euthanasia program.
The national audit by Marie Curie and the RCP examined a representative sample of 7,058 deaths between April and June last year. The figures were scaled up to give a national picture.

It found that in 44 per cent of cases when conscious patients were placed on the pathway, there was no record that the decision had been discussed with them.

For 22 per cent, there was no evidence that comfort and safety had been maintained while medication was administered.
And it also revealed that one in three families did not receive a leaflet to explain the process.

The LCP system was developed in a Liverpool hospital and has spread across the NHS over the past four years. The review is due to report in the new year.

A new study, in fact, finds that “basic errors” in NHS hospitals cause 1,000 preventable deaths per month. Among the horror stories:..."
