Maybe S4ME should make a formal request to Dr Hemsley to share his protocols with the patient community. (If I asked I might be seen as in...
As far as I know Hemsley has not provided anyone else with information about what he doing, or what the financial arrangements are. If other...
Very moving story. And I see nothing happening and no way for it to happen. But just maybe the penny will drop with all this.
Sectioning a very big deal for the doctors, I assure you. It is almost as big a deal as switching off a ventilator. How it appears to patients is...
Agreed. I don't think anyone is suggesting that. Agreed. The argument I raised was whether a physician, knowing that sectioning was the only way...
I also feel uneasy and have tried to think this through. The salient points for me are. 1. Maeve's parents have both made it clear they want her...

She was considered to be of sound mind by one physician we are told. That is all. What I do not understand is why the gastroenterologist who...
That was to me what made the sectioning issue relevant in that as I understood it from snippets from the inquest Maeve's care was under a...
I don't think we know that or how the decision was made. I am not actually suggesting that sectioning would have been the right way forward in...
Journalists tend to be little help in this area because they live by their emotions. Their job is to colour people's lives with stories. They tend...
To keep here alive. If you were a refugee and you had to be sectioned to get political asylum and stay alive you would go for it I think. We...
