My sweet, beautiful, strong aunt has passed away today on this blessed Friday. She fought so hard for the last 5 months and it’s been my honour to take care of her throughout. May Allah swt forgive her shortcomings and grant her the highest rank in Jannah. Until we meet again 🤍
If you are born into a family with financial security I actually think dedicating your life to actively trying to help people is probably the best you could do.
Glad Keir Starmer's Labour government is prioritising stopping musicians from performing.
Wouldn't want them distracted from their complicity in Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people and an illegal war on Iran.
What a pathetic excuse of a Prime Minister.
april fools Never made sense to me why would you start off a beautiful month with a day of trickery . Just makes no sense. Why not call it april loves. April joys. April smart person
Your reminder that @Keir_Starmer, a former HUMAN RIGHTS LAWYER, has said NOTHING about Israel approving a race-based death penalty.
Absolutely nothing.
Reducing bin-collections is controversial. Education reform is controversial.
This is apartheid, it’s maniacal and it’s evil. Get a grip of yourselves, because this will follow you around one day, and history won’t show any forgiveness @SkyNews
I am against the Assisted Dying Bill. The reason is, in November 2018 my Mother was in hospital recovering from pneumonia. No sooner than she was moved from the A&E ward to a general ward my family we was called to a meeting informing us that Mum was dying and saying it would cause a lot of harm to her if she had heart failure and was resuscitated. What we were told was heavily weighted to a Do Not Resuscitate order. After this numerous meetings were called heavily weighted towards Mum being put on an end of life pathway. Every time I visited I dreaded being called to yet another meeting. I began to feel hounded. In a meeting around 7th November a doctor informed us Mum had recovered well and was fit for discharge. His words “She’s in good shape”, so there was no need for further treatment and if we agreed he could fast track Mum to any place of our choice. Why would you not agree to that? Mum had told us she wanted us to “Get me out of this place” and the doctor was telling us her infection was now negligible and she was in good shape and fit for discharge… However, on my next visit, one and a half days later, I found Mum in a comatose state. I checked at intervals if she knew I was there. All Mum could do was flicker her eyelids and raise her brows in reply. I found, after her death, she had been given morphine and Midazolam. I stayed at the hospital overnight and Mum’s breathing was heavy, but I was twice assured it was normal… As I tended her next morning I saw frothy liquid coming from her mouth. She died as I was wiping her mouth and talking to her.
At some point I realised Mum must have died from drowning, with fluid filled lungs. I cannot imagine how awful this must be for someone who was severely claustrophobic and often felt as though she couldn’t breath. Absolute torture I imagine.
When I got the medical records I realised Mum had actually been started on the outlawed Liverpool Care Plan by someone who wasn’t even an elderly care doctor. He was a rheumatology registrar. The notes said two doctors were present, but he was the only one who spoke with four of us (Mum’s close family). The notes said we had requested that Mum’s life be ended. In retrospect I think through all this the family were baffled by all the suddenness and what felt like harassment, and in a state of shock. The medical records show a TEP form stating the hospital did not expect to die in the next twelve months, just around the time they told my sister and I Mum was dying!!!
This happened in November 2018. Since then I have been fighting for Justice. Mum did not want to die. The family had definitely not requested for her to be commenced on end of life “care”, and our Power of Attorney was ignored… The hospital PALS team, the PHSO, and the GMC, refuse to investigate the doctor. They say he followed end of life NICE guidelines and therefore did nothing wrong. My MP ignores my communications about the matter. After this happened I did some online research to see if others had had a similar experience. To my surprise I found The People’s Care Watchdog, with numerous cases. I then Co-founded EoL Watch “FAIME” [Families Against Involuntary Euthanasia], with a few others who had similar experiences. Then I heard of Jacqui Deevoy, who has made several films, and written a book covering people’s experiences of this. I also found other support and campaign sites, and found there were numerous people going through the same trauma. You see, none of us can trust an Assisted Dying Bill when we have encountered deceit, lies, collusion…. Our loved ones put on end of life before their time, our wishes and their wishes ignored, and Powers of Attorney not worth the paper they are written on… You want to safeguard doctors? I think you should also look into safeguarding patients, and their loved ones, because from what many of us have experienced we wouldn’t trust the Assisted Dying Bill any further than we could throw it. In our opinion it would be an easier path for unscrupulous doctors to end people’s lives with little to nothing done about any malpractice.
A total disgrace.
