They are preparing to die?

Question

Someone that was mis-diagnosed as having anxiety disorder has been found to have a rhythm disturbance.
They get a worse disturbance when they are hunger, for some reason.

They live in care because they have a disability, so the staff believe that this is just them using this illness as an excuse not get out doing work, but doing things like housework is making thier symptoms worse.
They are expected to do these things, because this is a semi-independance living set up.
They have no closer on whether they have arrythmias or not, and the staff expect them to do tasks or social services will send them to a less dependant placement.

They have a dental appiontment, and if the heart problem is not found, they are preparing to go under general aneasthetic.
Since the aneasthetic effects the heart rythm, they will die.

Since they have done everything they could, they decided to allow this to happen as a form of suicide.
They know that there is nothing else that they can do.

I have read many reports on people with heart problems miss-diagnoses as having anxiety disorder and they have died.

It is also known that a large amount of time that cardiologist fail to pick up the symptoms, since it is like trying to plan an earthquake to measure.

There is a lot of evidence of arrythmias, but not enough to secure it as a medical problem that needs treatment.

So he is preparing to die.

What should be done about to prevent this death?

Also what should be done to prevent the staff and social services pushing him to work when he can't?

It is right that it is better off for him to die under aneasthetic rather than be aware of the inevitable?

Answer 1

If this is true, the doctors should be notified by the people in charge of them...or if YOU can make a phone call to the dentist,...you will be doing both the patients, AND the doctors a big favor,...the doctors can then make the descision what to do...and thank you for letting them know, and possibly preventing a law suit..Good luck,...just call all the doctors ahead of time when you can...

I hate to break this to you .. but most everyone has rhythm disturbances when the are hungry..its called gas.I live with it everyday .If the doctors say that you are anxious and don't have a heart condition other than rhythm disorder but its safe.Dont worry about it.. If you have been checked out and told that although you have a problem is fairly safe or they offered you some treatment for the problem accept it..and go on..On the antheasia..almost anybody can have a reaction to that and die ,its more or less a crap shoot..It sounds like you have anxiety to the max..and well I should know I suffer from it as well.If you have a arrthmia problem and you go the dentist or have surgery let them know ahead of time..You like so many of us have a fear of dying.. whether it be now or later..We all are going to die..accept it...You don't realize it but everything you do in life comes with a risk factor to walking outside possible tripping and hitting you head killing you to turning on a light bulb and getting electrocuted..There really is no comfort that i can offer here other than to say yes we all are going to die.. live every moment to its fullest .enjoy life take normal risk not stupid ones try not to be aware that this existence will pass but find comfort in the fact that everything and everyone will pass away..time has that effect..So please please try to deal with it every day and every minute and think of positive things ..Why do we get stuck thinking of nothing but the envidable.I go through the same thing.I have a rhythem problem and have had since i was a child ,I have had the most bizarre feelings that you could have with your heart .I hear my heartbeat missed beats and rhythem problems in all their splendor in my head everyday ..Its a normal thing doctors say . ok I have to believe them but it doesnt make me worry less but I have to ..What if i have all this for another 30 years and sit back when it does come time to die and say ..

God I just can't believe this is happening. To be honest something sounds a little fishy here and I don't think we are getting the hole story and then again maybe you don't have all the fax yourself, If true Doctors knowing this and then still going ahead with it is called out right ( MURDER ) There is no if ands about it, it is against the law.

Someone needs to get a hold of a lawyer and I mean FAST, For something here is just not right.
Are you in Canada, U.S.A. , where do you live ?.

If you care to E-Mail me and give me more details I would like to hear them and if there is anything I can do I will.
I am open for e-mails so please do.
Good luck Dave

Get a note from the cardiologist, or have documentation sent from the cardiologist to the Staff and Social Services stating your friend's condition.

If your friend is not able to do such things, and the doctor tells them he cannot, the staff and social services will be in serious trouble if they force him.

On the other hand, if your friend is indeed using this as an excuse not to work, it's in his own best interest to get up and move around and do his part.
