Man, I'm really angry & freaked out. I had mentioned something earlier about a best friend of mine of 16 yrs. (Lois) passing away due to heart giving out.

Her husband (Willie) has come to find out that it was due to something else. The doctors & nurses at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Covington, KY told her husband that she passed away, because her heart had given out in the bathroom. Well they got it listed on the death certificate that she had passed away, because of Natural causes.

Willie had once worked in Insurance & told me about something called Slow Code, which had popped up in his mind a month after Lois passed. Slow Code is a process where the doctors secretly kill a patient when they feel it will cost money to keep them alive once they've recovered from a heart attack, stroke, etc.

The doctor tells the family or whoever is at the hospital that they would try everything they could do to save the patient. The patient is hooked up to a Ventilator where tubes are put down their throat. They then send electric shocks to the heart, which causes chest convulsions. Once this is done, a series of chest compressions is done & the ribs get shattered.

Medical Professionals claim this is way in which they attempt to resuscitate the patient. But isn't this way rather inhumane? Man, if the ribs are shatterred in the process, then the patient dies from that. The process looks like the nurses & doctors are trying to save the patient, but in reality, they're killing the patient as ordered to. And they do this against the patient's will.

This is something both the Healthcare Industry & Government doesn't want the public to know about. Why? Cause it's murder.

Now here's what happened with Lois.

My friend Lois whom was 58 at the time she died had been suffering from heart pulmonary difficulties for the last 5-6 yrs. Back in 2001, she had a heart attack, but lived thru it. She had to have a bypass or else she wouldn't have lived that long, which was done sometime in 2003. Everything seemed fine after she had that done, even though she had arthritis & degenerating bone condition.

I guess from what some people had told me, she was in bad health & suffering from pain, but she didn't wish to die yet. She has 3 sons locked up in penitentiary & one of them were getting out in a month. Her dream & wishes were to see one of her boys when they were released from the penitentiary. She knew she wouldn't have much longer to live, but wasn't ready to go yet.

It all had started with her at 5:30 AM on February 25th 2008 at the Golden Towers Building in Covington, KY. She had woke up to use the bathroom & fell face first on the floor, because her degenerating bone condition makes it difficult to balance herself when trying to walk.

Willie had called 911 & then went in the bathroom to do some first aid, but it wasn't but minutes that the EMS had arrived. When they had got there, they turned her over on her back, which had caused the blood bleeding from her nose to go back down her throat & all around her heart. She had pneumonia earlier & there was already a little fluid developed around her heart. When the blood went back in her throat, etc., it had clogged up more.

When the EMS took her to the hospital, Willie had followed behind in his van. Once he arrived at the hospital, he had seen the doctor whom was working on Lois. Well, once the doctor had seen Willie, he had a smirky look on his face like he didn't want Willie to know something & attempted to run off.

Willie caught the crooked, doctor before he could get away & asked about Lois' condition. All the doctor said was that he & the nurses would do all they could to save her, but then had the nurses take Willie & make him stay in this small waiting area or lobby that was isolated away from Patients & guests. Willie was all alone in that room & the medical staff claimed they weren't able to communicate with him about Lois' condition.

Well, minutes after Willie had been waiting in the lobby, the doctor had came in to see Willie. Willie had asked him about how Lois was doing. The doctor smirkingly says, "She's in a better place," & that's all he said. Willie had asked to go back & see Lois & the staff wouldn't allow him to see her. After insisting he go back to see her, the staff finally allow him back to see her.

When Willie went back to see Lois, she was lifeless with the tubes of the ventilator going down her throat. And that was the end. Lois had been straight creamated, because none of her children were available. She has 1 daughter & 3 sons. The 3 sons are all locked up & the daughter wants to be a bitch & accuse Willie of killing her. Lois & her daughter never got along as it was. They would see each other here & there. Then there were many of times in which they just fell out, because the daughter was just ungrateful like that.

If anybody wishes to know more information on this, type in Slow Code on u'r Search engine. u'll find an article by Dr. Gazelle entitled, "Slow Code; The Ending Of Life.

The thought of this is rather disturbing. It makes me afraid to even go to the hospital now. Since crap like that is going on in hospitals, I'll just have to put on a will that if something like this happened to me that I want my people in their watching what's going on. The same will be done if my family is taken to the hospital.

What does everybody think about this so far?

I haven't been on here that much, because my friend's death has completely tore me up. Especially once I had found out about the Slow Code shit. My mind has been on a vengeful mode & one thing I intend to do in reference to what happened to Lois is post this story for all to see, since the Healthcare Industry & government wants to be all sneaky & crooked like they are.

I had a feeling stuff like this was going on, I mean as greedy as this world is when it comes to money and the fact that a doctor could tell you anything and how would anybody who is not a doctor themselves know any better? I hope this world gets better in the future, "Character" needs to make a comeback. Sorry about your friend.

I am really sorry you lost your friend. And in any profession, you have greed; it's all the more deplorable here because in the medical profession the idea is to save lives.

Do I think a Slow Code exists? I do, but I from working in critical care hospitals myself, I think overall people bust their asses keeping people alive as long as possible to the point of overkill in the name of greed. When you're 90 years old, why do you want a third quadruple coronary bypass: do you think the quality of your life is going to improve that much? I've seen them crack open a person's abdomen in the Coronary Care Unit to buy some time to keep the person alive so they can get to the OR.

Your friend was rather young to be having all these problems, but it sounds like she had a lot of them, unfortunately: if she had weak bones and fell, did anything else break besides her nose? When the elderly fracture or break their hip, it can lead to pulmonary embolisms, DIC, and everything in between I've never heard of pericardial edema being due to swallowing blood; if pneumonia was causing fluid in her lungs, then blood in the lungs could certainly stress them out, but not the heart (then again I'm a lab tech, not a doctor).

I"m curious to see what her lab results were, as her husband he has a right to request them: was she conscious in the ambulance? Did they do any coagulation or cardiac tests, or was there simply not enough time? In some cases, if she had a clot that broke off and got lodged somewhere, it could make her suddenly collapse the way she did as well. And in some cases, people can deteriorate so quickly that even after CPR and the like that their hearts just won't jump back to life.

In CPR, fractured ribs can occur due to the force required to push through a ribcage; the heart needs a hard force to pump it, so that happens due to physics, not malevolence of the doctors. If the rib completely breaks off and punctures the lung, that's a different story.

Doctors are not the best in bedside manner. The best thing one can do is do your research on your hospital for your procedures: mortality rate, number of procedures performed there, etc. etc. But don't let the Slow Code idea scare you away from getting medical help when you need it: just know your patient rights, get a patient advocate (the hospital employs them), and ask questions without being nasty; more bees with honey than vinegar works best with medical personnel doing double shifts.
