The most bizarre tweet I saw during COVID was from this doctor. She was upset her father died before a doctor could murder him.
Of note this person was all about saving lives, masking, etc. /1 cbc.ca/news/canada/ma…

This story shows how little doctors understand what they are doing to their loved ones and how much suffering the elderly suffer due to contradictory demands of confused relatives regardless of education. /2
It’s a story of a very old man who should have died quickly and at peace at home. Yet his fate was to be saved. Saved he was into endless suffering. /3
Pneumonia (or any acute respiratory disease) traditionally took care of the old giving them fairly quick exit. /4 
End of December till end of March this man was needlessly tortured practically abandoned by his family. Had he stayed home, he would have died surrounded by family fairly quickly. /5
Uncertain what this is - wonderful healthcare in Canada we hear so much about or something else. Progress notes are available for nursing to consult. Nursing can communicate with family. A doctor should suspect doctors leave so if you want face to face, arrive in am. /6
The man died and was revived. Again, discrepancy between ideals and reality of healthcare - if you can’t be there to take care of your own, not enough workers to do what is your responsibility. Likely getting it out if bed was not an option at that stage. Turning at best. /7
Canadian healthcare that is advertised to us as the best of the best. Likely severely understaffed. Dying people also don’t eat that much of at all. Force feeding questionable at that point. /8
This happens ALL the time. What goes on in hospitals makes no sense. However what senseless stuff goes on is very accurately communicated to families. /9
When your healthcare is socialized, the government calls the shots what treatment you receive. PT for nearly dead isn’t on that list. You can pay out of pocket for anything you want though. /10
Again, government bureaucracy controls what health for all you get. The bizarre thing here is why the man was full code in admission if his comfortable death was such a priority? If saving lives is so important why schedule a murder?! /11
If you care about your old, keep them home and don’t save them from flu, pneumonia, Covid. If you send them to the hospital, DNR will let them die once in peace instead of two or more times violently. /12
