Here's what one nutcase just put on my friend's Facebook page:

NHS confirms they kill 130,000 elderly people a year. Look it up on the BBC.

I told him sounds like he better stay out of the UK.

1. This is where he got it from...

Top doctor's chilling claim: The NHS kills off 130,000 elderly patients every year

Professor says doctors use 'death pathway' to euthenasia of the elderly
Treatment on average brings a patient to death in 33 hours
Around 29 per cent of patients that die in hospital are on controversial 'care pathway'
Pensioner admitted to hospital given treatment by doctor on weekend shift

NHS doctors are prematurely ending the lives of thousands of elderly hospital patients because they are difficult to manage or to free up beds, a senior consultant claimed yesterday.

Professor Patrick Pullicino said doctors had turned the use of a controversial ‘death pathway’ into the equivalent of euthanasia of the elderly.

He claimed there was often a lack of clear evidence for initiating the Liverpool Care Pathway, a method of looking after terminally ill patients that is used in hospitals across the country.

It is designed to come into force when doctors believe it is impossible for a patient to recover and death is imminent.

A Department of Health spokesman said: ‘The Liverpool Care Pathway is not euthanasia and we do not recognise these figures. The pathway is recommended by NICE and has overwhelming support from clinicians – at home and abroad – including the Royal College of Physicians.

6. Wow, that guy really has a story there...

No real sources, just some pensioner? Sounds more like hospice care to me. Well, well, that's what our righties called death panels. Why does the right wing have such a problem with end of live policies? Do they think we'll live forever if only the doctors keep giving us meds and operations and appliances? Chaney sets a good example of that.
