Those
still living from attempted hospice/euthanasia by Kaiser for patients
that have no medical reason to participate in such a plan.
Debra Moretta
| Julian Padilla was a patient at
Kaiser for about 10 years. He had signed up around 1998. He
had changed health coverage because the cost of his
medications was less expensive with the Kaiser plan. ...........That
night Fred and his sister were asked to sign papers for the hospice
care
by a Kaiser nurse via the Kasier doctor who had admitted Julian. All
three siblings said no, that they would not sign anything and for the
doctor to
call Julian's immediate family.
According to Fred,
the doctor from Kaiser stated that they had gotten permisson from a
woman over the
phone to put him into the hospice unit. No IV with fluid, no
water, no
food and no meds were being given to Julian.
Julian
had labored
breathing with no meds food or water until
his one daughter on the evening of 2-9-07 asked why
her father had not been given his meds. She asked the
nurse to speak to the doctor and the nurse said the doctor was
the only
one covering the hospital and that he was too busy to speak to his
daughter.
During this time a
cerified nursing assistant brought Julian containers full of
water but he was not allowed to drink it!
My daughter had to go to
Julian's home and get his Power of
Attorney. After reading it, Julian's daughter relayed the info
to the
nurse and Julian was put on Full code and taken off of the no
code that the Kaiser doctor had authorized. Read More At: http://horror.kaiserpapers.info/julianpadilla.html In 1981, Robert Nejdl and Neil
Barber, two
Los Angeles physicians, were charged with murder for taking a
severely brain- damaged comatose patient off a
respirator and
stopping intravenous feeding. On March 9, 1983, Municipal Court
Judge Brian Crahan dismissed the
charges at a preliminary
hearing sought by the doctors' attorneys, holding that there
was no evidence
of malicious intent, and hence no evidence to sustain murder
charges. However,
he warned that this dismissal did not rule out criminal charges in
other cases. Judge
Crahan's dismissal suggested that a doctor acting under the
reasonable belief that
a patient is in a condition of irreversible coma may, with the consent
of the patient's
family, remove the patient from all life-support systems without
fear of criminal
charges. However, the prosecution appealed, and on May 5 Superior
Court Judge
Robert A. Wenke reinstated the murder charges. Unless the
defense is successful
in its appeal (a three-judge panel heard the arguments on September
12), the case
will now go to trial in Superior Court. Read More At: http://horror.kaiserpapers.info/lamurdertrial.html |
