My darling husband of almost 42 years, with his little Shortcake. A father of 2, grandfather of 7 and great-grandfather of 1, a retired journeyman electrician with over 41 years in his local, a man who loved his family, loved his trade, loved life.
This is the man, who the medical doctors, at our local hospital, after getting him in the shape he was in at the time he had to go to the ccu unit, did nothing, nothing to save him, to help him, when his blood pressure started dropping.
They just let him die, because of their own outlook and opinion of his outcome, because he had previously been diagnosed with lung cancer, and had the opinion that hey, he would have died anyway! There is alot to this story of heart-ache, alot to the harm they did to my husband, and alot to their causing his untimely death, with their wrong medical treatment.
They didn't value his life, even enough to attempt to save him. The injustice of it all, is that they did harm, failed their duty of care, gave him sub-standard care, and failed to rescue him when they could have saved him. I want to see justice done on his behalf, and prevent others in similar condition, from the god-like decisions these doctors can make, regardless of the wishes of family.
I want my husband's death to mean something to someone other than me, and I want to honour his memory. He did not want to die, fought to live, and trusted these doctors to help him. I continue my right as his wife, and our rights as citizens of this country, to set this wrong right as possible, knowing they can never ever set it to full right. They can never ever bring him back.
