My friend’s mum succumbed to the EOL drugs last night at around 9:30pm. She found out via a garbled voicemail. My friend arrived at the hospital at around 11pm. She’s given me permission to share what happened next… Her mum was in a side-room, dead for around an hour and a half, eyes and mouth wide open. The syringe driver was still in place. My friend closed her mum’s eyes but couldn’t close her mum’s mouth. She went to find a nurse and asked why her mum had been left like that. The nurse argued that they’d tried to close her eyes and mouth but couldn’t. The nurse was annoyed that my friend - who’s a journalist - was asking questions. Back at her mum’s bedside, she sat quietly. Suddenly, three masked security men with body cams appeared in the doorway. She asked them to close the door as she needed some time alone with her deceased mother. They refused and said the door had to stay open. My friend insisted they close it. They refused again. She explained how she needed privacy and asked them to leave. That’s when they lunged towards her, grabbed her and dragged her from the room. She managed to take a few photos before they snatched the phone from her. They tried to delete the pictures but couldn’t. She demanded they give her phone back. They did, then threw her out of the hospital. She said they were total thugs. She’s called the police: they’ve said they can’t help. She’s determined to get her story published. For now though, she’ll be organising a funeral. What has this world come to?
