A 3-Minute Video from ABC News Helps Identify What Is Needed to Close Legal Loopholes

I link and discuss this video in the 2-page PDF file which makes up the webpage http://tvfields.com

 

This video records events similar to what took place in a Florida hospital during my father’s final hours as he died of cancer, while being “snowballed” (on a morphine drip) under a doctor’s Do Not Resuscitate order.

 

When I complained to Florida authorities, they refused to investigate the case, refusing to even review my father’s medical records, and ultimately refusing to review the plethora of evidence of wrongdoing, beginning with the very revealing testimony which was provided by the doctor who started my father on the morphine drip and called the whole matter “atrocious”.

 

Given such evidence, and the lack of safeguards in such matters, it is no wonder that such wrongdoing is epidemic in the state of Florida and elsewhere.  With this in mind, a Florida police detective from a neighboring county who is expert in such matters and actually reviewed the evidence but was powerless to make a difference privately wrote me the following

“The obvious contradictions abound and one would wonder what the judge was thinking. As for the lawmakers and what they can do about it, what we can all do about it … You've suggested putting specific safeguards in place for legislation, I know ... it seems to me that in your case there is no way that your father should have been recognized as having capacity while in his deathbed. There should have been laws in place to prevent that and prevent any judge from doing what this one did”

 

As this detective and others know, I have suggested specific safeguards, including one which is referred to in the discussion of the video. 

 

The refusal of those who can and should make a difference is well known and inexcusable.

 

Sincerely,

Tom Fields
