If you can’t trust the state to run trains on time you shouldn’t trust them to run a safe suicide service

Offering patients suicide to save money for the NHS is not what I went into medicine for

Killing yourself is suicide Helping someone kill themselves is assisted suicide Leadbeater bill legalises this So let’s be honest and call it assisted suicide, not “assisted dying”

Any UK doctors or other healthcare professionals who are willing to be part of a movement resisting euthanasia, please comment here or inbox me We will be doing everything we can to stop this over the next few months Please like and RT even if you are not in healthcare!

When you've worked in a hospital and seen "Down Syndrome" as the reason for a Do Not Resuscitate form (not the patient's decision), you begin to realise why introducing a State Suicide Service is a TERRIBLE IDEA

What I’m hoping will happen this week: 1. The Leadbeater Bill fails. 2. Politicians accept that this debate has exposed the shocking underfunding of palliative care. 3. We switch our attention away from assisted suicide and on to improving end-of-life care.

🚩🚩🚩 Shadowy dark money behind the assisted suicide/euthanasia bill connected to American global population reduction organisations This is one of the most sinister things I've ever discovered 🧵

This!! We’re desperate for nurses but some shouldn’t be in the job. Same goes for drs 😞. Others are burnt out and I truly feel for them as their employers don’t care.

I am a medical doctor in the UK We already have assisted dying: it js called palliative care What they are trying to introduce is assisted SUICIDE This is fundamentally at odds with the medical profession.

I don’t believe the UK has the capacity to safely bring in assisted dying: Our healthcare system is under too much strain. It is (by design) discriminatory. A fundamental shift in how we treat elderly/ disabled. Impossible to prevent coercion. Financial incentives astronomical.

I wasn't going to write to my MP about the horrific #AssistedDying proposal in the UK, as they're firmly in favour. I changed my mind. I sent this: I understand that you support the legalisation of euthanasia in this country and so are likely to vote in favour of the so-called "assisted dying" bill in Parliament later this month. This decision will weigh on your conscience for the rest of your life. If you think introducing euthanasia is compassionate towards the suffering, then you are greatly deceived. Killing is not compassionate - love, care and support is. I have worked directly with many of the groups who will be seriously harmed by this proposal: the elderly, the mentally ill, and the terminally ill. I can assure you that if this Bill is passed, it will cause untold horrors for these groups of vulnerable people, who would find the choice of death tempting where they would not otherwise have considered it. In the hope I can persuade you against euthanasia, can I ask you to respond to the questions below: *What possible safeguards can there be to prevent an elderly person with a terminal diagnosis choosing suicide because they feel like a burden or that they are not loved or wanted? Legislation cannot limit motivations. *Given that terminal diagnoses are only ever a 'best guess' by a doctor, how could you ever be sure that the person who has been legally euthanised would not have had a longer and fulfilling life? *Whatever the 'safeguards' and restrictions that are included in this bill, are you aware that under human rights legislation, it is possible that the courts could be forced to widen the pool of people who would be eligible to be killed? *Have you watched the BBC documentary "Better off dead?" by @thelizcarr? I urge you to do so, if not. How do you address the many points that she makes about how legalised euthanasia affects the disabled community? @CareNotKilling @spucprolife @RightToLifeUK @AnscombeCentre @TradSkowronski @marge8 @edrennie77 @AmandaAchtman @mehmet_y_c

In a study of 10,000 people, no matter what level of severity, the risk of heart attack and stroke increased in the three years following an initial C0VID infection.

I’m only a GP. And I’m shocked at how some of my specialist colleagues think they are not harming patients by not masking. I’m not smart. But come on! Covid is airborne and Covid HARMS every bit of your body. How can a highly intelligent Dr NOT KNOW THIS???

Covid, Covid everywhere. People of the UK: you need to protect yourself if you come to hospital, because the infection control guidelines issued to NHS basically say ignore Covid. So wear a mask - there WILL be people infectious with Covid in every (crowded) UK ED. Seriously.

I feel quite uncomfortable about allowing Assisted Dying to be made legal Anyone else feel the same?

Liverpool pathway en masse, especially those without family.

I expect the idea came from the Treasury who want to save on paying out state pensions. This must be rejected at all costs.

Does anyone really think a broken, over stressed NHS can be trusted to administer Assisted Dying? It’s terrifying. There is already such a lack of compassion in some parts of the health service. Scope for abuse is enormous. #Assisteddying

One local family have just been told off by their school for testing their kids for covid when they were sick. They were literally shouted at down the phone for testing their children.
