Hello, yesterday, my beautiful mum passed away; she had a very bad irregular heartbeat, which we believe was down to anxiety;, we asked for anxiety medication, and we couldn’t get it. We waited an hour for the doctor, and the heart rate went over 200 beats. She wasn’t ready to die, but there was a buildup of fluid. It sounded like her lungs; they did not give her any diuretics then we were told the only solution was to provide end-of-life care; they took all the monitors off, and then for five or six hours, we had my mum with the loudest, death rattle, or struggling to breathe and live   you could hear 59 meters away , it sounded to me like she wanted to live, we were not given the option for her to live and she took her last breaths after six hours of what seemed like fighting to live. I’m devastated. I don’t know what to think or what to do; I feel like the medical profession just wants to kill off older adults. My mum had a tiny tumour, but she had a lung collapse, and they refused to treat it with diuretics. They said she was too weak for any treatment, even though need to release the pressure of the fluid would not have harmed her, t feel like my mum was killed and that we were party to it by allowing end-of-life treatment. I don’t know what to do or what to think. my mum was 80, but she was full of the life she wanted to live, and I don’t think she was given a chance. Has anyone else had this experience of neglect and pain
