    Hi there,

    The hospitals do not have a Right to do this to disabled Patients it has to be the Patients or Carers Desion not the hospitals as far as i am aware they do not have the right to make that discision without the Patients Knowledge.

    I heard rumours about this during Covid but if it is still continuing that is awful. People need to have their wishes in writing and to have a friend or advocate if they need to go to hospital with a serious illness. Unfortunately not everyone has that.

    Where did you hear about this please fuzzy200?

    What world is this becoming has it always been this way ? I really used to be proud and thought what a great compassionate country the uk is a evilness has been engulfing the elites we the everyday people follow the law care for our family friends have compassion and a great desire for things to change but it seems they are normalising real vile crimes and locking people up for freedom of speech everyday something more shocking comes out this is soul destroying god imagine if it was us our families I prey for us all dont keep silent email mps on ALL of these crimes

    When my brother in law, who had Alheimers, was admitted to hospital some months ago , my sister was TOLD they would put a DNR on his notes. There was a very unpleasant exchange of words with the doctor as my bro in law didn't even have a serious illness at the time.
