Faith in Medicine

I used to hold the medical profession in the highest esteem. My father could have turned one hundred this week had his life not been deliberately cut short by evil doctors (and complicit medical staff) who imposed "futile care policy" on him against his medical directive and his and our pleading when he was ninety years old. Perhaps something else would have killed him in the intervening time, but we will never know because he was medically murdered by Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Prince Philip had medical issues around the time my Dad did, but instead of cutting off nutrition and hydration as they inflicted on my Dad, the Prince's care team moved mountains to preserve his life. If Seymour Goodman received life-sustaining treatment instead of its denial, he might have been here today celebrating our end of September birthdays together.
