Well, it says here that
"Tens of thousands of patients with terminal illnesses are being placed on a “death pathway”, almost double the number just two years ago, a study published today shows.
Health service guidance states that doctors should discuss with relations whether or not their loved one is placed on the scheme which allows medical staff to withdraw fluid and drugs in a patient’s final days. In many cases this is not happening, an audit has found. As many as 2,500 families were not told that their loved ones had been put on the so-called Liverpool Care Pathway, the study disclosed."
That can't possibly be true can it? Right off, the article admits that there is no such thing as "Death pathways". Whatever they are, they are officially called "Liverpool Care Pathways". See how different?
Remember that in the US such things don't and won't exist. The Fair Nancy Pelosi promised.
This whole report must be fictional balderdash.
