If you seriously believe your wife would let you die just to collect all your life insurance you need to divorce her or at least let her know that you've made the beneficiary someone else, instead.

Actually my pessimism is your reality. Go to the insurance section of GTAM for a reality check when comes to insurance in ontario. Ohip bills your insurer when it relates to a motor accident. Most of the insurance premium for a motor vehicle is for accident benefits. People of Ontaio are subjected to the maguinty health premium of 300 to 900 and whatever income taxes are relegated towards health care. In ontario you pay up the rear for this so great public health system we supposedly have. There was a story on w5 or fifth estate where doctors decide if you are worth their effort or not. In this situation for whatever reason the doctors didn't want to do the surgery that could have saved him in turn they did a sales job on the family to go along with them in pulling the plug. If this happened in the states, the hospitol would have queried the health insurance to see what you are covered for and or presented the cost to the family and did the surgery. In Ontario, it's about saving tax dollars or masking medical incompetence.

You are changing subjects, my reply was to your comment "I doubt it, cling to this dream while she is yanking the cord from the wall."
That's a pretty weak tactic to side step the fact that you don't have a clue what you're talking about, junior.

I know what I see and it's quite clear. Everyone who rides a bike, do themselves a service and get a living will done.
 
If you are so concerned about this please research the Power of Attorney in Ontario. These two documents, one for financial and one for medical, only apply when you are alive but not able to represent yourself. These two documents are available for download free of charge as the Power of Attorney kit. You do need witnesses and you need to sign these documents when you are conscious and able to make decisions for yourself. You do not need a lawyer.

In the absence of these documents, your spouse and then family members can act on your behalf. If you feel your wife will let you die prematurely, I am sure she can kill you in many ways on a daily basis, 7/24, so there is no need to worry.
 
It's probably a jinx, but I carry detailed, laminated instructions for "In the Event of Coma" and "In the Event of Death" on me whenever I'm driving or riding. I trust my mom and 2 best friends to do anything and everything I've discussed with them though. I did the POA forms when I was 18. I gave it to my mom and best friend since grade school. Hopefully they don't butt heads.

I'm going to trust the people that I love far more than any lawyer. And, if I'm so badly screwed that the doctor's think pulling the plug is the right idea, I hope someone pulls the plug.

Our society does everything it can reasonably do to keep people alive. Often they are far better off dead. We treat our pets better than our loved ones in this country. We generally let our pets die in dignity, not writhing in pain and wallowing in their own filth and bedsores.

Your concern that the medical practitioners are trigger happy to off patients isn't born out by the facts or by logic. You are worth far more to the medical profession as a living vegetable to practice on than as a corpse.

And your belief that your partner would kill you without hesitation is just plain sad.

a 59-year-old retired mechanical engineer who immigrated to Canada with his wife last spring, had surgery at Sunnybrook in October, 2010, to treat a benign brain tumour. He developed meningitis and ventriculitis afterward and has been in a coma ever since .......

Proof is in the pudding Public Sector Canadian doctors are incompetent. It is clear why they didn't do the surgery they don't have the skillset to get the job done.

Doctors have the right and the ethical responsibility to pull patients off life support if they decide treatment is futile – and should not need patient or family consent to do so, lawyers for two doctors at Toronto’s Sunnybrook Hospital will argue in Ontario’s highest court

And your delusion in believing, at the HANDS of ontario doctors you are, in GOOD hands is pathetic.

I suggest you think about that and get a living will done. It was established he was hit while crossing an intersection through no fault of his own and knock unconscious. Ambulance was called and he did make it to the hospitol. He was on life support and the doctors persuaded the family to unplug it rather than do the surgery that could have saved him. He lasted 4 hours after this. This ought to have been a sign to turn the damn machine back on. Perhaps these doctors should have waited for the police to conclude their investigation as the cost of the surgery would not have come from tax payers but from this guys insurance. Sorry buddy, you don't deserve this RIP.

As I said, it's someone I know at arms length. I have the ill fortune of observing this **** show. Do yourselves a service and learn from this and get a living will done at some point. It's on my to do list.
 
So let me get this right. You have no clue what condition this person was in, aside from being unconscious. You have no clue what surgery was available, and the reasons why they didn't do it.

Yet you are convinced that the whole health care system and everyone around you is out to kill you.

Wow, just wow...

Get a living will, if not others will decide your fate. As for your attitude, I am sure it will be reciprocated one way or another.
 
A will is just basic common sense.

And if you doubt your partner's care for your well-being, you chose wrong and should make a change.

The long-ended ranting in this thread must be a function of the freezing weather and someone's lack of riding. I hope this doesn't continue all winter.

Let's move onto the next conspiracy folks...

there is clear protocol that outlines when it is an option to withdraw life support. these include limited to no brain response, specific organ failure, and a bit more

severe brain damage CAN NOT be recovered from, not from surgery, therapy, or anything. when the brain is sheared thats it. nothing is going to fix it.

if you are critically injured, but not brain damaged, the hospital has a responsibility to do everything they can to help.

if a family member says no to help, and there is not a DNR from the person injured, the hospital will disregard family and provide care.

everything you post is B@#%$^.
 
Long story short...Girl at work had to make a decision on her husband 2 years ago... pull the plug or give him a operations that could save his life but chance are very slim and could be brain dead for life in results to it also.....she opted for the operation....... HE is Brain dead, can't talk, doesn't know anything, cant feed on his own ect. Brain dead... Guess what he is alive YES..... was it worth it ? NO WAY...... hospitals don't keep you forever and she needs to do everything for him and has NO LIFE ..

I'm not really afraid of death; life has been good to me so far. That being said, I've had a will since I've had a house. :)

Since when is a wife or a doctor GOD and they decide whether you live or die. In this situation she should file for divorce and dump him off at an institution. No one is this world has a right to murder someone. Pulling the plug on someone and refusing to treat them without their consent is murder in my book.
