We have enough equipment and medication in the NHS to ensure a comfortable death. The supply chains for medications like midazolam and morphine are closely monitored to prevent shortages. Prescribing morphine per patient is being reviewed to reduce wastage. The clinical team is constantly discussing ways to optimize the supply of key medicines.

Good death requires equipment, medication, and staff. The NHS has enough syringe drivers to deliver medications for comfort during passing. Precautions are in place to ensure sufficient medications like midazolam and morphine. Morphine is prescribed per patient to prevent abuse. Relaxing morphine prescribing laws for doctors and healthcare professionals could reduce waste in healthcare homes. The government is keeping the reduction of key medicine wastage under review.

The conversation centers on serious concerns about medical assistance in dying (MAID) in Canada, with Dr. York Sang offering observations from his experience as a retired vascular surgeon and professor. The discussion covers how MAID is carried out, what drugs are used, how death is defined and monitored, and broader systemic issues in Canadian healthcare and autopsy practices. Key points raised - Realities of MAID versus expectations: The hosts note that MAID is not quick or necessarily painless, and that its dignity is attributed to one drug that causes paralysis, making death appear orderly to onlookers rather than to the patient. Dr. Sang agrees that, based on a large Canadian cohort, the process is not always quick or painless, and its perceived dignity largely stems from the paralytic drug used. - Drug regimens and their administration: The described MAID protocol commonly uses a sequence mirroring execution methods: a sedative (a large dose of a benzodiazepine, such as midazolam), followed by an anesthetic (propofol), then a paralytic, and finally a cardiotoxic agent to cause death. The typical MAID drug kit is presented as a standard set, with most patients receiving the sedative, anesthetic, and paralytic, but only about a quarter receiving a cardiotoxic “kill shot” (e.g., potassium chloride or a high-dose local anesthetic to cause fatal rhythm disruption). Approximately 90% of patients receive the sedative, anesthetic, and paralytic; about 25% receive the cardiotoxic agent. The time to death varies widely, with an average around nine minutes but ranges from one minute to over two hours; about a quarter die after more than an hour, according to the cited data. - Training and oversight concerns: Dr. Sang and Odessa discuss that most MAID providers are not anesthesiologists, and that a small minority of doctors—predominantly family physicians, rural GP-anesthetists—provide MAID without specialized training in anesthesia or MAID pharmacology. They argue that 79% of MAID providers had little to no formal training in the drugs used. This raises questions about monitoring, recognition of pain or distress, and ensuring consistency in death certification. - Monitoring and definitions of death: A major thread is the lack of continuous monitoring during MAID and the reliance on clinical death (no heart sounds, no breathing). Dr. Sang notes that the brain is likely still functioning for several minutes after clinical death, suggesting that the patient may still experience distress or wakefulness prior to the official death declaration. There is debate over whether brain activity should guide the determination of death, with some arguing for brain-wave monitoring to avoid premature cessation of artificial support. - Autopsy and post-mortem questions: The discussion references historical concerns from Dr. Joel Zivitt (a Canadian-turned-U.S.-based anesthesiologist) about deaths in the U.S. execution context and why autopsies were performed there. He reported that many blood samples showed anesthetic levels below surgical anesthesia at the time of death, and autopsies revealed pulmonary edema in a large majority of examined cases, raising questions about whether the anesthesia dosing and drug combinations may contribute to distressing end-of-life phenomena. - The pool of providers and ethics: The conversation touches on the notion that MAID is driven by a small, possibly specialized group of physicians, with concerns about whether some providers “hold back” from giving a full, lethal cocktail or whether systemic issues (time pressures, workload) influence practice. Dr. Sang emphasizes that the problem is not that MAID is necessarily too available, but that its execution lacks standardized training, monitoring, and ethical safeguards. - The broader policy and culture context: BC and Quebec are highlighted as leading provinces in MAID uptake, with BC representing nearly seven percent of all deaths due to MAID—almost double the national average. The participants discuss how expanding indications, including discussions about younger individuals or even pediatric cases, are part of ongoing debates in Canada, contrasted with other Western jurisdictions that push back against broader MAID access. - Alternatives: Dr. Sang advocates for palliative care as the preferable approach for terminal illness, noting that opioids (e.g., morphine) and comfort-focused care can offer relief without MAID. A striking point raised is that in the discussed MAID data, zero-point-six percent of patients received any narcotics during MAID. In summary, the dialogue presents a critical view of MAID implementation in Canada, focusing on drug cocktails and their administration, the adequacy of training and monitoring, the meaning and verification of death, and calls for greater emphasis on palliative care and autopsy-based scrutiny to ensure end-of-life practices align with patients’ comfort and dignity. The conversation also situates these concerns within broader provincial trends and policy debates around MAID’s expansion.

Speaker 0 recalls a case: “patient, he was sick. He looked like he was dying, but they just, like, pushed morphine. He had no pain. You know, they do a pain score, so zero to 10. This guy had zero pain.” Then, “they pushed insulin to drop his sugar, and his glucose was fine. And then he died three minutes later.” He says he “turned him into medical board. I reviewed this chart and turned him into medical board. Nothing.” “But, yeah, they definitely that definitely went on during COVID.” Speaker 1: “Jesus. That is such a terrifying thought that someone would just decide so many people are dying. This guy's definitely gonna die. Yep. This is 100% real?” Speaker 0: “Yeah. Definite. Definite.” Speaker 1: “It's It seems like something” Speaker 0: “they would call it tell euthanasia. They don't call it euthanasia.” Speaker 1: “It seems like something I would tell me, and then I would have to ask you. Like, this is something someone told me. I'm sure this” Speaker 0: “is send you the record that I read to you.” Speaker 1: “It seems like something I would be bringing up to you as a ridiculous thing, and you'd shoot it down.”

In hospitals, a drug called midazolam, previously used for euthanasia and lethal injections, is now being used to induce a comatose state in patients. Shockingly, it has also been administered to elderly individuals in UK care centers, with their deaths being attributed to COVID-19. It is important to note that midazolam is known to be lethal. This information has been observed in medical reports.

The transcript argues that more dangerous SARS-CoV-2 variants could arise by creating biological niches for variants and through VADES, with the speaker stating that “viral immune escape threatens to play a catastrophic role in the COVID mass vaccinated world.” It describes the virus as originally relatively harmless with a very low death percentage for healthy young people, potentially evolving into a seasonal virus with an even lower death percentage. However, it is claimed that mass vaccination could disturb this natural progression and cause resistant, and potentially more dangerous and more contagious variants by creating biological niches for those variants. The speaker asserts a correlation between the rise of variants and the increase of vaccinations, stating that “the rise of variants correlates with the increase of vaccinations.” In this context, viral immune escape is mentioned, and antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) is noted as a phenomenon that can worsen disease; the speaker notes that ADE is known to be an issue with coronaviruses and was an issue in animal trials for SARS vaccines, and is associated with SARS and severe COVID itself. The claim is made that as more vaccines and different vaccine types are administered, and as more COVID variants succeed, the ADE risk increases. According to the speaker, given these considerations, the worldwide mass vaccination agenda is described as a “haste and rush agenda,” very dangerous and destined to become a failure. The speaker questions whether “the mass vaccination induced immune escape COVID killing waves and vades” are coming for the COVID vaccinated. To illustrate the situation, the transcript cites a series of record-high stretcher occupancy values in Quebec, across several dates in 2024: 07/08/2024 – 2,319; 07/08/2024 – 2,370; 08/06/2024 – 2,384; 08/27/2024 – 2,395; 08/24/24 – 2,412; 09/03/2024 – 2,444.

They took him to the ER and admitted him. It was the beginning of the end. Crocodile disease is catastrophic and always fatal. No one has ever survived.

The Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP) was introduced in the 1990s to provide end-of-life care in hospitals. While it aimed to improve comfort and dignity, there were controversies surrounding its implementation. Families reported treatments being removed too quickly and patients being put on the LCP without consent. In 2013, the LCP was scrapped in England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, but concerns remain that similar practices continue under different names. There are allegations that the sedative midazolam, which suppresses the respiratory system, is being used inappropriately on COVID-19 patients, potentially leading to premature deaths. Whistleblowers have raised concerns about the lack of consultation and the normalization of euthanasia in care homes.

A patient who looked like he was dying was given morphine despite having zero pain, according to the pain score. Insulin was also administered even though his glucose was fine, and he died three minutes later. The speaker reported this case to the medical board after reviewing the chart, but they did nothing. The speaker states that this definitely went on during COVID. The speaker refers to this as euthanasia, though it is not called that. The speaker offered to send the record that was reviewed.

In 2014, the livable care pathway was abolished due to its harmful nature. In April 2020, Matt Hancock and the NHS authorized NGINICE guideline 163, which some believe caused the accelerated or induced death of patients through the prescription of midazolam and morphine. A gathering was held in June where bereaved relatives shared their distressing experiences of their loved ones' end-of-life care in hospitals. The government was unresponsive to inquiries about the number of elderly and vulnerable individuals moved from hospitals to care homes during the first wave of COVID-19 and the subsequent deaths within specific time frames. Emma will now share her father's story, adding to the numerous accounts of similar experiences over the past year.

The speaker discusses the drugs used in palliative care, including midazolam, morphine, and another drug called Lebom. They mention that these drugs were sent to the Ministry of Time in September of the previous year. The speaker suggests that these drugs are causing deaths in octopus, particularly when midazolam and morphine are mixed together. They also mention that the nursing pencil website advises against mixing midazolam and morphine.

In the summer of 2022, I saw my cousin, who had just retired and was dealing with back issues. Shortly after, he was found to have fluid around his heart and was diagnosed with lung cancer. His surgery for the back was postponed for treatment, but they couldn't identify the cause of the fluid. Eventually, he was also diagnosed with brain cancer. Due to his deteriorating condition, they decided against radiation after chemotherapy. He developed pneumonia while hospitalized and passed away in January. From being relatively healthy in July, he faced multiple severe health issues in a short time. His family was fully vaccinated, and his daughter was particularly cautious during COVID, not allowing anyone in the house.

Medical examination revealed the patient had extensive prostate cancer with a bone tumor. Further findings indicated previous heart attacks. Toxicology reports showed no evidence of common painkillers, aspirin, paracetamol, or opiate-based painkillers. The speaker notes that the absence of painkillers is unusual for someone with such extensive disease.

In January 2022, a colleague alerted Speaker 0 that there had been a doubling or tripling of baby deaths in the last year, which sparked curiosity. Speaker 1 states that “Their own government told us a medical treatment was safe, and it killed babies.” Speaker 2 says she has “lost all faith that Health Canada is looking out genuinely for the best interests of Canadians.” Speaker 3 alleges that doctors “made extra money to push vaccines” and were given a billing code to do it, and that she has “pulled all the billing codes.” Speaker 4 asserts that “They've purchased the vaccine that hasn't been approved,” distributed it to the provinces so that once it’s approved, they can “start jabbing ourselves with it” and “start jabbing pregnant mothers with it.” Speaker 3 questions the necessity of vaccinations: “Why did we have to get these vaccinations? Like, why was this something that we had to do? You go to the hospital, you expect to have a baby, and you expect to go home, and then you don't.” Speaker 0 speculates on criminal negligence, saying, “I would suspect that there was criminal negligence on part of the government and the public health officials.” Speaker 3 notes that it is “highly recommended that pregnant women get their vaccine as soon as possible.” Speaker 0 contends that a narrative was pushed to everybody, including pregnant and breastfeeding women, that the mRNA shots were safe and effective. Speaker 2 claims wiretapping, harassment, charging, and barring expert witnesses: “They had wiretapped her phone. They had harassed her. They had charged her. They didn't allow any expert witnesses to testify.” Speaker 1 accuses police of trying to cover up Canadian babies’ deaths “to the point of stopping detective Helen Greaves from testifying about it.” Speaker 4 observes that “The dominant individuals keep the subordinates in their place by constant aggression.” Speaker 5 discusses vaccination choice versus public risk, remarking, “If you don't wanna get vaccinated, that's your choice. But don't think you can get on a plane or a train besides vaccinated people and put them at risk,” and claims CBC initially “started off with CBC running a story to implicate her and to paint her with a brush that looks uncomplimentary to the public.” Speaker 6 claims Canada must shift its understanding of what the is, describing it as “a state broadcaster pushing the agenda of the Liberal government of Canada.” Speaker 4 calls this “the most significant matter affecting our children today from a health perspective,” noting that authorities are “not investigating.” Speaker 2 concludes that everything emanates outward from this case involving law enforcement, the judicial system, the pharmaceutical industry, and health agencies, “how they work together, how they censored information. It all ties together to this one case, and that's what makes it so dangerous.”

Updating anticipatory care plans during the pandemic was challenging due to families wanting hospital treatment for their loved ones, but facing restrictions. There was a push by the NHS to implement DNA CPR in care homes, causing access to care to be limited without much public discussion. Translation: During the pandemic, updating care plans and implementing DNA CPR in care homes faced challenges and restrictions, impacting access to care without widespread public awareness.

The speaker received a call from a care home stating her father had fallen and was agitated, and would be given morphine. She was shocked he was on an end-of-life path of injecting to stop his issues. She later learned midazolam, one of the medications being used, is considered by some practitioners to be like being waterboarded because it floods the lungs. The speaker was not advised about a specific end-of-life care plan for her father. She expressed concerns to the care home manager about what she had seen and the way end-of-life care was being administered. Despite a DNR in place from the first care home, she learned her father had been mobile and trying to get to the toilet. She felt it was a random decision to keep him quiet, in isolation, in a comatose state.

The speaker's brother, James, died in Ninewells Hospital in May 2021 at age 41. She describes him as a healthy, kind chef. After being taken to the hospital, she believed he was in the best place. However, she later learned from his medical records that doctors tried to put him on a ventilator, which angered her because this wasn't communicated to her. She communicated with her brother via text for the first few days, but then he was given lorazepam and ventilated. The family didn't want him on a ventilator due to low chances of recovery. He developed ventilator-associated pneumonia, which she discovered later in his records. The death certificate cited SARS COVID-2 as the cause of death. She noted a discrepancy in the time of death, raising questions about resuscitation. She requested investigations into his death, focusing on his participation in a trial where the signature on the consent form didn't appear to be his. She questioned whether trial drugs caused an allergic reaction. She also discovered he was prescribed toxomolobab, an immune suppression drug, making him more susceptible to hospital-acquired infections. She claims doctors and nurses lied to her daily.

On October 6th, my mother and I were reviewing our messages and pictures. She started experiencing breathing difficulties and her oxygen levels were at 86 to 88. The nurses claimed it was normal for someone with COPD, but my mother knew it wasn't because she had COPD for 20 years. On the 9th, her condition worsened and she became critical.

A good death requires equipment, medication, and staff. There are enough syringe drivers in the NHS for comfort care. Precautions are in place for medication supply, including morphine and midazolam. Morphine is prescribed per patient to prevent abuse, but there is consideration to relax laws to avoid waste. The supply chain team and clinical team discuss reducing wastage of key medicines. No further comments were made on this topic.

Doctor Neja Bakshi from Edmonton's Aurora Alexander Hospital shared a poignant experience on Twitter about informing a woman that her 75-year-old mother was dying from COVID. The daughter was shocked and hung up, later apologizing for her reaction. The hospital arranged for an iPad so they could say goodbye, and the patient requested her lipstick, wanting to look good in her final moments. Doctor Bakshi described the emotional weight of being a conduit for love during such a difficult time. In Alberta, over 27,100 COVID-related deaths have occurred, with nearly 500 in the last four months. Doctor Darren Marklin, working in the ICU, noted the unpredictability of patient outcomes, emphasizing that even young, healthy individuals can face severe illness, sometimes taking weeks or months to recover or pass away.

Yeah. He'd been in the same bed literally for a hundred and two days. It still ain't what we knew him before this situation, but we're grateful for, you know, the the progress so far.

The transcript centers on a set of 36 blackened documents, referred to as “海苔弁” (a term used for darkened papers or redacted files). The speaker notes that 8割 (about 80%) of the white areas are blacked out. The family involved is introduced: a 40-something woman living in Sapporo, Hokkaido, who is the wife of a man who taught at a cram school. He died after receiving a vaccine, and his death occurred at their home, after which the police prohibited autopsy. The wife wants to know the cause of death and asks to see the autopsy results from the northern region. The documents she received do not reveal anything conclusive. The narrative then moves to a specific case: a 42-year-old man who died six days after vaccination. The wife wants details about her husband. He received the first Pfizer vaccine on October 15, 2021. After vaccination, he experienced side effects, including arm pain and fever, which reached up to 38.5°C. The fever lasted about three days, and the wife confirms the fever occurred, but she notes her husband did not commonly discuss illness beyond that. Six days after vaccination, around 2:30 a.m., the wife heard noises on the first floor and went down to find her husband collapsed. He was coughing up white foam from his mouth and bleeding from the mouth, and he complained of difficulty breathing. He then suffered cardiopulmonary arrest and died. Medical opinions on the cause of death are summarized: the doctor(s) say, “Details are unclear; it may be the vaccine, but it could be something else; there is no evidence to confirm the vaccine as the cause.” The police describe the condition as an acute circulatory system disease, and multiple doctors mentioned possibilities such as acute circulatory system disease, heart conditions, coronary events, arrhythmias, cardiac failure, and aneurysm, but a specific cause could not be confirmed. One doctor notes that while the autopsy would help clarify, the evidence does not definitively point to the vaccine as the cause. The documents include statements from a party labeled as “investigative or consent-possible opinions,” including autopsy-related viewpoints and “acute circulatory system disease suspected” remarks. The final conclusion in the documents states that the death is “presumed to be acute circulatory system disease,” but the path to that conclusion remains unclear due to the blacked-out or redacted portions of the materials. The wife expresses regret that autopsy was not performed, saying she now regrets not having an autopsy. She was advised that delaying the return home would be an issue, and thus the autopsy did not proceed. She has continued to worry about why her husband died, given that the exact cause remains unknown, and she suggests that more proactive autopsies could reduce such unresolved cases in the future. The transcript notes that there are multiple fatality cases studied, with some families wishing autopsies had been performed to understand why death occurred. The account ends with the author noting ongoing questions about whether autopsies are being actively pursued in similar cases.

The speaker received a phone call saying their dad was feeling unwell. They were told that their dad was agitated and had been shouting for help. They found him on his hands and knees trying to get to the toilet. The care home said they would introduce end-of-life medication, which shocked the speaker. They were allowed to visit their dad, but only at the door while wearing full PPE. They were not sure if their dad was COVID negative or if the restriction was to limit staff exposure. They were only able to see their dad lying on his side in bed.
