Title: What to Say When Someone is Dying
Topic: End Of Life Care
Discussed by Samira Beckwith
with Hope HealthCare Services
Part 1 of 5
Perhaps you have just learned that one of your friends, business associates,
or relatives is in the hospital battling a life-threatening illness and the
prospect of their recovery is very poor. You feel as if you should reach out to
them and their family, but you aren’t sure what to say.
Samira Beckwith, CEO of Hope HealthCare Services, says this: “Because we are not
taught how to deal with people who are near the end of life, quite often we’re
afraid that we’ll say or do the wrong thing, so we do nothing at all.” Samira
says there are many simple things you can do to bring comfort or brighten the
day of someone with a very serious or terminal illness.

Topic: End Of Life Care
Discussed by Samira Beckwith
with Hope HealthCare Services
Is sending a note or card enough
to express your thoughts and prayers for someone who is dying? That depends on
the type of relationship you have with the ill person, according to Samira
Beckwith. Other ways to show you care are sending meals, flowers, or just simply
lending a listening ear.

Title: The Market for Brain Death
Topic: End Of Life Care
Discussed by Brad Mattes
with Life Issues Institute (LifeIssues.org)
A silent and deadly epidemic is moving across America. No one is broadcasting
about it. No one is writing about it. Almost no one is even talking about it.
But every day in hospitals, nursing homes, and hospices across the country, more
and more of our medically vulnerable loved ones are being euthanized.
Some health care providers are being pressured by outside sources to rush ending
a patient’s life because they may be “too expensive to keep alive”. This doesn’t
just apply to the elderly, either. It might be a handicapped or mentally
challenged person. It might be a 45 year old dad who was badly injured in a car
accident. It might be a child who has an inoperable brain tumor. No one is
immune. No one is safe.
The statistics are staggering. It is not a rare occurrence. But why are they
doing it? To put it bluntly, for profit. Plain and simple, friends. They are
doing it to make money on the organs they remove from a patient’s body, even
though that person still has a beating heart.
Listen in as Brad discusses the profit of harvesting and selling organs (Hint:
It’s over half a million dollars for one patient alone!) and what you and your
loved ones should do if faced with an end-of-life decision.
Brad asks health care providers who have witnessed such atrocious behavior to
contact their headquarters to share their story. If you, a loved one, or someone
you know has experienced this type of treatment, please contact them so they can
forward the information to the Texas State Legislature.

It’s ok to be afraid, but don’t let that fear keep you from reaching out to a
loved one or friend in their most desperate time of need.
