Impact film
I found Patricia from the West of Scotland, Theresa from Wales and Hazel from Northern Ireland stories particularly disturbing. Their elderly relatives having heart attacks, burns, an infected foot yet all succumbed to COVID.
‘‘Disabled people were more likely to be denied care and support.’’
-Dr.Clenton, Midlands
‘‘We are seeing more cancers that are more advanced. People are being diagnosed later.’’
-Anna, Hampshire (cancer genomics)
‘‘My siblings had to watch my mum pass away via a video call.’’
-Vicky, Midlands
‘‘December 2020 my dad took unwell but didn’t have COVID symptoms, he had an infection on his foot…the doctor (tested him for COVID) and he was positive..There’s no hope for your dad…we’re putting him on end of life.’’
-Hazel, Northern Ireland

Thanks for watching.
End
I will never forget speaking to a nurse over the phone (friend of a friend) in an attempt to get to the bottom of medication listed in my aunt’s PRN (list of anticipatory medications). My aunt was hospitalised after a fall in April 2020. I found Midazolam and morphine in that list.
This nurse told me that decisions were made during Covid that would shock the majority of the population. I didn’t like to press her for more information, as I didn’t know her. But I will never forget those words.
I have emailed it far and wide---let the people know the truth!
