Mary-Edith Blum refused to accept the substandard
care she felt she received by her HMO. So Blum sued Kaiser under California
law for "elder abuse," and last year, after a four-day arbitration, she
won the case and was awarded $100,000.

Who owns most of our politicians that vote on our healthcare issues?
Is it John Q. Public or is it corporations like Beverly Enterprises, Kaiser

Imagine visiting your 85-year-old mother in the hospital after she has
a debilitating stroke. You find out that, in order to survive,
she requires a feeding tube and antibiotics to fight an infection.
She once told you that no matter what happened, she wants to live.
But the doctor refuses further life-sustaining treatment. When you ask
why, you are told, in effect, "The time has come for your
mother to die. All we will provide is comfort care."

Life
Savers - by Joseph Soos
Cases of eldercide are rare,[note from kaiserpapers - corporate eldercide is common]
but it is important for family and friends to remain alert.
If you are responsible for someone who needs frequent
unsupervised care, here are some precautions to keep him or her safe
from harm.
Set some limits. Arrange
for a reputable accountant to conduct irregularly scheduled audits of
the patient's assets at least once a year. Establish a
red-flag system that'll alert you and the accountant if an unusual
pattern occurs. For example, limit ATM transaction to $300
and checks made to individuals or to cash to $400.
Make a List. Compile
a detailed inventory of the patient's valuables, ranging from jewelry
to electronics. Keep a copy and make one for the patient's
attorney, close family members or trusted friends, and perhaps a member
of the clergy. Provide instructions that law enforcement be
called immediately if anything is missing. Optional:
If the patient agrees, remove all valuables from the house
and place them in a secure location, such as a bank vault.
Use the buddy system. Set
up an independent mutual-alert mechanism by asking a neighbor to check
in regularly with your loved one if you don't live nearby yourself.
Some people use a prearranged signal, such as the lighting of
a porch light, to indicate "i'm fine." Another option:
Set up a buddy-on-the-phone system through a civic
organization such as a local VFW chapter.
Sound the alarm.
Consider purchasing emergency alert devices, alarms that send
a signal to local police or medical personnel. These can be
worn as a pendant or wrist watch or installed in convenient locations,
such as by a person's bedside.
Do a safety check. Request
a home inspection by your local law enforcement agency and fire
service. They''ll look at everything from lighting to
handrails to alarm systems. This safety check is usually free
of charge. Should you need work done, they will often refer
you to trustworthy local contractors. - Joseph Soos

Corporate Incentives to kill a patient -
For
some background and examples of what does happen you may want to check
out Odyssey Health Cares propectus though to see a money making formula
routinely used by the industry. I think that if you
look into this subject a little further you will find that there is no
real difference from for profit or non profit corporations that care
for patients. They all are only about making money for
themselves or their stockholders off of government contracts. Please
view page
74
http://medicalserialkillers.kaiserpapers.info/pdfs/odyssey.pdf
of
the linked to corporate prospectus. This
prospectus or stockholder financial report is being used as an example
of what takes place in this industry. This particular company
just happened to get caught doing some things that were very, very
wrong. You will also notice that on page
74 no one patient was still on the program once the
government payment cap was reached. The reason for that is
the corporation stands a chance of triggering a Federal Audit into
their corporate business practices. There is no lingering
illness on that program. It just isn't cost effective. You
must die or check out of the program before that cap is reached.
Period! An audit would mean that the Federal
Government would find many people that were not really dying that the
corporation was billing for. This place deals in volume so
there is a great deal of money that the government is paying them.
You get 90 days paid by the government to the corporation.
According to Odyssey most patients are gone forever by 85.2
days. 85.2 days - Four days short of a computer program in
the Medicare system that could trigger an audit.
What a coincidence. They must really have honed
medical science to be that exact on how long any patient, with any
illness, disease, etc., is going to last. More
detailed information on the finacial rewards for doing in the patients,
especially when the government is paying for their medical care can be
found her at: http://medicalserialkillers.kaiserpapers.info/pdfs/ODYSSEYHEALTHCA10Q.pdf. Glance
at page 16 to get a general idea what this is all about. Then
go for the meat of the financial information. Just do a quick
search for the term "Medicare Cap."
Never
let anyone tell
you that corporate enabling or encouragement to kill a patient is a rare
occurance.
PAIN RELIEF PROMOTION ACT (HR2260)
WRITTEN TESTIMONY OF PHYSICIANS FOR COMPASSIONATE CARE TO UNITED STATES
SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE
APRIL 25, 2000 .....new examples
of the misuse of federally controlled substances for assisted suicide and
euthanasia in Oregon have surfaced. These cases reveal failure to protect
the mentally infirm and those under pressure from their families, involvement
of health maintenance organizations in assisted suicide, failed assisted
suicide attempts, and involuntary euthanasia in the hospice setting. These
abuses make it increasingly clear that allowing the use of federally controlled
substances for assisted suicides constitutes a public danger. - Read More at: http://euthanasia.kaiserpapers.info/kaisereuth.html
