I t...I just lost a very dear dear friend last week. I talked to her on the phone just 3 weeks before her death!!!<br />It was so unexpected and it happened in very very suspicious circumstances, after I spoke to her husband and got more details (and I'm still waiting for more, I told him to get a copy of her medical file!!), I FEEL and I KNOW that she has been a victim of the medical system!!!! Starting with the paramedics who didn't want to listen to her husband that she never drank and so they took her (unconscious!) first to a hospital where they "treat" addicts, only to call him back 20 minutes later (probably after they CHECKED in their van and saw that she was sober!!!) to send him to another hospital where they were taking her (without letting him come with them and be with his wife in those moments!!!). <br /><br />Then at the hospital, her husband was getting a different "diagnosis" every day: stroke, seizure, aneurysm, "something genetic", everybody was very very eluding, nobody really took the time to talk to him... She was still in a coma (!) when they called him to "discuss" further steps and noone showed up; the next day they let him wait for 2 hours and then another doctor (a woman this time!) came and told him how she was "brain dead" and they wanted her organs!!!!!!!!!!! <br /><br />He was so totally lost that they manipulated him into signing the papers and that's the day when I finally got hold of him on the phone - I had been trying to reach my friend every other day (can you imagine how guilty I feel because I didn't call EVERY DAY, EVERY HOUR?????). So I was on the way to work when I got him on the phone and asked for my friend and he told me first that... she had had a stroke... he told me it had happened on a Sunday, after she had been complaining of a very very bad headache and had been taking some strong pills (even if I always WARNED her against suppressing symptoms and making everything worse!!!!! She always said she couldn't deal with pain!!!!!); she was sitting at the table when she just collapsed and her head hit the table... she then regained consciousness for a few minutes, he put her in bed and then she collapsed again and then he called the paramedics... After he told me this, I said "OK, she's had a stroke, so she is in the hospital, right? How is she now?", then he told me... stammering... that they switched off the devices keeping her alive... and that they took her organs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course, they kept her in a coma for so long to check her thoroughly and -since they wanted her organs- it's obvious that she was healthy!!!! But my friend and her husband were living on welfare in a very poor neighborhood (I was sending her €50 a month to help her), so of course she didn't have a top medical insurance, it wasn't worth it to keep her alive any longer, but she was good enough to make tens of thousands of euros with her organs!!!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />WHY didn't I get hold of her husband on the phone earlier to inform him what "brain death" really means and about the dangers of this organ "donation" which in reality is a criminal BUSINESS???? There is no scientifically accepted definition of "brain death", it's just a consensus which was created to give the medical system green light to take organs from whomever they please (or by manipulating the poor surviving members of the family into consenting "to do something good" with the organs, "don't let her [brain!!] death be in vain"). It's a medical fraud and a CRIME what they did to her!!!!<br />I am NUMB with pain, I've been crying for hours every day and I still cannot realize and accept that she is gone!!!!!! Like a candle that someone blew out!!! My dear dear friend who was only 45 and whom I've known and loved for 32 years spent this Christmas butchered in the morgue of Bremen!!!Feli Popescuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15262007810691190130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673639169019002933.post-1385481304036395252013-11-23T22:18:05.275-08:002013-11-23T22:18:05.275-08:00Just click on the pic to get the full text.Just click on the pic to get the full text.paramedicgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17524363951843887071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673639169019002933.post-60456198960532528122013-02-03T13:44:12.353-08:002013-02-03T13:44:12.353-08:00I LOVE your concise summation of the earlier fasti...I LOVE your concise summation of the earlier fasting rules.
