Longtime readers know that I am a vehement opponent of state-sponsored medical murder.
Yes, I know. It is sold as compassionate care for the incurably ill who don't want to suffer every moment until they die a horrible death. I am even sympathetic to the propaganda version if I believed it were remotely close to representing reality. I understand why some poor soul with a horrific, incurable disease might want to end his suffering, even if I doubt I would avail myself of the service.
But as with so many "products" the industry of death sells you, the reality doesn't come close to matching the sales pitch.
WHAT ๐คฏ A man in his 40s with inflammatory bowel disease, was assessed outside a Tim Hortons, offered MAID, AND driven by the DR to the assisted suicide facility, and killed by MAID ๐คฏ

Providing medical murder has become an industry in Canada, along the same lines as the "gender-affirming" industry in Canada. It is driven by a combination of financial incentives and zealous ideologues eager to use their "skills" or their persuasive powers to expand an industry that commits atrocities at scale.
A London, Ont., doctor who assessed a patient with inflammatory bowel disease and a history of mental health issues for MAID outside a Tim Hortons location and later personally drove the man to the place his life was ended has agreed to a minimum six monthsโ supervision.
In another case, Dr. James MacLean failed to administer one of three drugs used in assisted deaths โ one that paralyzes the bodyโs muscles, including the muscles involved in breathing. The patient resumed spontaneously breathing again after initially being pronounced dead, and after MacLean had already left the home.
As first reported Monday by the The Globe and Mail, the doctorโs case is raising new concerns about MAIDโs oversight and accountability.
โWhat is striking is not only the seriousness of the concerns identified in these cases, but the limited regulatory response,โ said Dr. Ramona Coelho, a family physician and former member of the Office of the Chief Coroner of Ontarioโs MAID death review committee.
Finding medical horror stories isn't difficult. When you are talking about an industry that touches almost everybody, is complicated, often delicate, and routinely deals in life and death, you could find something that appalls you without trying.
But we aren't talking about medical errors here. Iatrogenic deaths will be a fact of life as long as human beings are involved in any way with medicine, because human beings are fallible, and half of all doctors are below average by definition. As with "gender-affirming care," the very foundation of MAiD is causing harm.
Canadian doc meets a 45yo Crohnโs patient one time outside a coffee shop, decides to euthanize him.

Canadian doc meets a 45yo Crohnโs patient one time outside a coffee shop, decides to euthanize him.
One of the reasons - "didnโt have an active social network."
Drives the guy to an industrial funeral prep facility and murders him.
Family wasnโt told, couldn't even say goodbye. Yet, the only consequence is a verbal reprimand and 6 months supervision.
When the State imposes such a high burden of inhuman indignity on its citizens, those citizens have an obligation to repay that imposition with one of their own - the cost can be nothing less than the life of a petty tyrant.
A child can be sterilized and mutilated after a 30-minute evaluation, and a man can be killed after a consult over coffee and donuts in a parking lot.
MacLean was called before the committee to be verbally โcautionedโ with respect to the MAID complaints.
In addition to agreeing to mandatory clinical supervision for at least six months as part of an โundertakingโ with the college, MacLean will undergo ongoing review of his MAID patient charts and mandatory professional education related to MAID, consent, documentation, professional boundaries and professional behaviour.
After six months, heโll undergo an assessment of his practice, the results of which โmay form the basis of further action by the College,โ Laura Zilke, a CPSO spokesperson said in an email to National Post.
And, as with gender medicine, the institutions will back the practice of MAiD to the hilt, because the alternative is giving up the financial benefits that sustain the practice, and will expose the people involved to the well-deserved scorn or even punishment they so richly deserve.
Better to keep maiming and killing.

The doctor's response was to ask the family in the room to hold her down so the procedure could be completed.
The family complied. The procedure was completed.

The podcast notes that the court that reviewed the case ruled the doctor had ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ ๐ฅ๐๐ฐ๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฒ. The piece of paper from before outranked the words coming out of the patient's mouth at the moment of her death.
This is the question every Western government quietly building out assisted-dying laws refuses to answer in public. What happens when the person on the table changes her mind?
In this case, they held her down.

We have reached the point where doctors and family members are physically restraining frightened patients in order to complete the murder of a "patient" who changes their mind. In the name of "compassion."

Medical care is expensive; murder is comparatively cheap, and in places such as Canada, where the medical care is "free," the incentive for the state to kill off the expensive patients is enormous. Combine that with zealous doctors, and you have a witch's brew of toxic ideology and financial incentives that lead to the rapid expansion of a practice that now has medical murder as the fourth most common cause of death in Canada, with its growth accelerating.

Canada told this manโs wife to kill herself with MAID because they had โno treatmentโ for her stage 4 ovarian cancer.
They lied about HIPEC surgery. Lost her chemo requisition. Her oncologist never even met her in person. ERs sent her home with opioids while her lungs filled with fluid.
So they evacuated her by ferry from Vancouver Island to Seattle.
America got her into the system immediately. Started chemo. Gave her the surgery Canada said wouldnโt work.
Every time she went back to Canada, she nearly died again, going septic in Canadian hospitals until her husband literally unplugged her from machines and evacuated her back to the US.
They finally got him a green card in under three months with the help of a Congresswoman. Now theyโre in Texas.
His wife is heading into her THIRD remission. She squatted 175 lbs for five reps last week.
Canadaโs answer was death. Americaโs answer was treatment.
Thatโs the difference. ๐บ๐ธ
This year or next, Canada will expand eligibility to adolescents without parental consent, and to people with diagnosed psychiatric conditions such as anxiety. Anything in the DSM can get you killed.

Autism. Anxiety. PTSD.
Persons suffering from these or ANY of the 300+ disorders in the DSM5 will be ELIGIBILE for MAID under the Liberals' planned expansion of MAID for mental illness.
State-facilitated death, instead of treatment & support.

Soon, when you call the suicide hotline, the first question will be "Is this an order for a suicide, or a cry for help in preventing one?"
Maybe the doctor will even provide a free ride to the suicide chamber.
