Which seems perfectly reasonable. There comes a point where someone is dying - they should be allowed to go. I recommend Jenny Worth's book "In the Midst of Life", concerning her work on the terminal ward. (She's the one who wrote the original Call The Midwife).

Shipman was a GP.

Liverpool care pathway is pretty much drug them up and withdraw food and water. Law is weird on that. Killing them = murder. Allowing them to die, even when you could technically delay it = allowed.

I doubt it. Decent medical care would have dosed him to the eyeballs. Even if the medical dose is also the lethal dose.

Worried about long Covid?

Worry about this instead:

https://uk.news.yahoo.com/alarming-c...214356807.html

Covid was associated with a case of prion disease, a type of “rapidly progressive dementia” in a new paper from the American Journal of Case Reports.

The case shares the details of what happened to a 62-year-old man who was admitted to a hospital in New York, Mount Sinai Queens Hospital Center, after having difficulty walking and showing signs of rapidly progressive dementia.

But, looking on the bright side as ever, it killed him really quickly.

About three weeks after the patient featured in the new report was hospitalised, he grew “progressively mute” and started having difficulty swallowing.

He soon needed a feeding tube, and he also became “spastic with severe pain”.

The patient died three weeks later.

Well wot a surprise a 524 error.
