Title: Actual, real, living nightmares. [messageIcon: Flash]
Post by: Kalahari Inkantation on November 28, 2022, 02:48:27 AM
Heaven forbid, this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locked-in_syndrome

Quotea patient is aware but cannot move or communicate verbally due to complete paralysis of nearly all voluntary muscles in the body except for vertical eye movements and blinking. The individual is conscious and sufficiently intact cognitively to be able to communicate with eye movements.

Total locked-in syndrome, or completely locked-in state (CLIS), is a version of locked-in syndrome wherein the eyes are paralyzed as well.

This could happen to anyone:

QuotePossible causes of locked-in syndrome include:


  • Poisoning cases
  • Brainstem stroke
  • Diseases of the circulatory system
  • Medication overdose
  • Damage to nerve cells
  • A stroke or brain hemorrhage
  • Traumatic brain injury
  • Result from lesion of the brain-stem

in a similar vein: being consciously aware while under anesthesia. extremely rare but it has happened. i've never had to be put under for any kind of surgery and i'm dreading the day it inevitably happens because of this exact fear

i feel it's only fair you should know for your personal risk calculation purposes

idk, i always appreciate upfront realistic warnings of the myriad gnarly ways something might go awry lol

And I don't recall ever being warned that it's actually possible to wake up in the middle of it. I thought that was practically a myth. :|

you know what i find really scary

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euthanasia_in_Canada#Permissiveness_of_current_law

the can*dian """government""" has been just kind of thoughtlessly following through on the implementation of these policies without question or pushback

so that things like this

https://globalnews.ca/video/9323192/former-paralympian-says-veterans-affairs-department-offered-her-assisted-death/

happen every once in a while befuddlement

i recently learned that the actor Rene Auberjonois (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Uncharted 2, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) died through physician-assisted suicide after a terminal diagnosis and I think that's pretty cool.

Post by: Kalahari Inkantation on December 20, 2022, 07:10:38 AM
giving folk a say in how and when they expire is cool, but canada's implementation is harrowingly irresponsible

if treating one's condition is more expensive than being suicided, there's a perverse incentive (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perverse_incentive) for the can*dian government to simply deny you care, present suicide as the only option, and make your life suck so much that you ultimately accept the cheaper fix: a lethal injection from trudeau himself

https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/woman-euthanasia-commercial-wanted-to-live

https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/woman-with-disabilities-nears-medically-assisted-death-after-futile-bid-for-affordable-housing-1.5882202

this sort of problem is unheard of in the other right-to-die states

state-assisted suicide should never correlate with poverty (and if it does, it's a sign policymakers have TREMENDOUSLY fuck; ed up in the way it's worded)

https://nationalpost.com/news/canadian-veterans-assisted-suicide?r

and it should never be """offered""" for conditions that can otherwise be treated/managed to the patient's (living) satisfaction

imagine having some soulless government ghoul kindly recommend you literally kys you'reself because that mobility scooter you need is just too darn pricy, or because you're a chronically neglected homeless vet

and withholding any treatment option that's more expensive than suicide until you give in

that's ACTUALLY the stuff of living nightmares, imo

it almost certainly results in a disproportionate number of first nations being assisted-suicided, which is just extra bad lol

Eating infected beef will now literally kill you. Please be careful with your food choices. This is the sort of news that must be spread far and wide; instead you have wantonly destroyed it.

Destroying information without rhyme or reason is a HORRIBLE idea, even [ESPECIALLY} if its meaning may not be apparent to you.
