I of course live in the socialist worker's paradise where healthcare is free and plenty and equal. All american lefties dream about our swedish free healthcare, but fail to mention the 65% tax rate. Oh well.
When my greatmother got a cough, the doctor asked my grandpa "we must think about what is best, do you not agree?" and grandpa agreed, obviously, and suddenly greatmother was dead, 2 months before her 100th birthday. She was fine the week before! Vigorous, mentally clear, physically active. How about that.
When grandpa got sick and needed hospitalization, he started losing weight rapidly. Exactly how much nutrients are you putting into him, asked dad? Is this not a problem? On current trajectories, he will be dead in weeks, and you aren't even talking about it? "We are just thinking about what is best. Do you not want to think about what is best?" Actually, dad didn't at all want to think about what was best. He made attempts at occupying the
hospital room but was driven off by baton wielding goons. Grandpa started having severe pains, and they put him on rhino doses of morphine. Then they took the morphine away because of concerns for his health, and the doctors went to grandma instead of to dad, "look, he is in great suffering (cold turkey morphine withdrawal does that to a man, who knew!), must we not think about what is best?" and grandma agreed that it was time to think about what was best, and grandpa died a withered dehydrated husk.
They would keep coming back to dad and try to make him think about what was best concerning grandma. But now he had enough and the glorious swedish social welfare healthcare didn't get to touch grandma at all. She was pretty confused and silly and immobile in the end. We visited too seldom. She loved her cat very much and the cat loved her. She smiled a lot every time we came and apologized that she hadn't baked anything for us. She kept trucking on for a decade without baking, and noone thought about what was best.
I must stop now because if i tell the next two identical stories, it would
be easy to identify me.
Fuck these butchers to death.
I hear you. My mother died due to maltreatment in the famous swedish
socialist healthcare system. I was awarded 8000 EUR in damages, so there
you have the price of a life in sweden, when the government accidentally
kills someone.
