Your Patient's Bill Of Rights - Or Lack Thereof

From Ted Twietmeyer

 

 

Your so-called " rights " as a patient are essentially in two categories:

 

1. HIPPA (Health Insurance Portability And Accountability Act of 1996)

 

This pertains to patient records privacy. A copy of the fundamentals

of the Act was given to all patients which outlines the rights each

individual has. In the HIPPA Act [see 1 for more details] you told

that you must be give permission for your records to be shared with

any doctor, person, insurance company, etc.... You are also informed

that the government for national security reasons can obtain your

information without asking you for it, or telling you they stole it

(oops - accessed.)

Most of us already realize that for decades they have already been

stealing this information. Now you are officially being told this is

taking place. (Perhaps 2030, they will also finally decide to tell us

the truth about Project Cloverleaf - the chemtrail poisoning of the

world.)

 

2. Patient Rights

 

These 'Patient Rights' pertain mostly to being a patient at most

hospitals. Each state defines a patient's rights, supposedly to

protect you. In New York state for example, you can read it in many

languages on the NY state website. [2]

 

Let's look at these rights and just what these REALLY mean. Are you

one of the few and fortunate to have not darkened the door of a

doctor's office in many years, or have not taken a friend or family

member to one? Drop to your knees right now in joy, and give thanks.

I'll share with you what you've been missing.

 

This following will help you understand the REAL Patient's Bill of Rights

 

* The right to be charged for an office visit, if you fail to call

(i.e., report in) first because you can't make the appointment. Being

extremely sick is no excuse. Even if you have to drive yourself 25

miles to the doctor and you're too sick to drive.

 

* You are required to be treated with disrespect. Even though you

THOUGHT they worked for you. Just because YOU pay THEM, it doesn't

work that way. Your presence at their office serves THEM, not you.

 

* Your can wait for an hour or more at your own expense, not including

the time for the actual appointment. You must realize that only the

doctor's time is worth money, and not yours. I actually told one

receptionist " What makes you think my time is worth less than the

doctor's? " She didn't know what to say and flushed into a state of

shock. Her training didn't include someone speaking up like me.

 

* You must pay for a DOCTOR to see you, even though an under-trained

physician assistant will be seeing you instead. These people can't

even write a prescription for a pain killer. No discount is given for

seeing this person, either. Today this trick is standard practice.

 

* Don't expect your doctor to return your phone calls (note the plural

use of 'calls' here) whether it be during office hours or at night.

You are not important, and are only one of thousands of manila file

folders on a shelf with many colored tabs on the edge. Being a human

being is no excuse to expect ethical medical treatment.

 

* You are required to sit in a waiting room reading outdated magazines

which was never properly disinfected, and pick up everyone else's

bugs. You shall pay for this privilege with more health problems and

with your wallet.

 

* You will be given the " latest " drug samples, complete with serious

side effects. This is to cure simple illnesses that usually will go

away by themselves. The doctor will NOT tell you about any side

effects. If you ask about side effects they will usually say " oh,

that's something you don't want to know about. It will just worry you. "

 

* During the visit, the doctor will write out a prescription for a

seemingly low cost drug. Only later at the pharmacy after the doctor's

office has closed, will you discover that some medicines can actually

cost up to $15.00 PER CAPSULE. And you're supposed to take some of

these drugs for weeks.

 

* You shall be assaulted with endless warning signs in the waiting

room - here are a few direct quotes from signs:

 

CO-PAYMENT EXPECTED AT TIME OF VISIT

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE CO-PAYMENT, WE WILL BE HAPPY TO RE-SCHEDULE YOU

YOU MUST PROVIDE THE BLUE CHOICE CO-PAY AT TIME OF SERVICE

$25.00 FEE FOR RETURNED CHECKS

$10.00 FEE FOR STATEMENT COPIES

SELF-PAY PATIENTS MUST PAY IN FULL AT TIME OF SERVICE

IF YOU HAVE A PERSISTENT COUGH, ASK FOR A SURGICAL MASK TO PREVENT

SPREADING DISEASE

 

* Stand up for a patient's rights, and you can find yourself suddenly

looking for another doctor. (Hint - If you have a problem with a

doctor where it appears money is more important than your health, just

get another doctor. They don't care if you live or die.)

 

* In one office, I was fed up with seeing 8 signs regarding co-pays. I

told the receptionist that " money apparently means more to the

practice than patient's health does. " She muttered something

derogatory and slid her glass window closed. I spoke louder to her

saying, " I know you can still hear me, and you closed that door

because you don't want to hear the truth. " The family member told me

later that I was forever banned from going back with them to an

examining room. To that I said, " Good! I struck a nerve. " One doesn't

have to be a dentist to inflict a little pain to make a point!

 

* You have the right to be receive a flu shot (not free, of course.)

If you ask what is in the shot, the doctor WILL tell you " oh, I don't

know what's in it. It just supposed to be what you need this flu

season to stay well. " Another lie, as the " experts " never get it

right. (Read [4] about mercury-based Thimerosol used in vaccines, then

decide for yourself if you want that coursing through your veins.)

 

* You have the right to become sicker than you were when you entered

that office. Facial contact from your hands handling that

disease-laden National Geographic about Apollo landing on the moon,

has given you a new virus to fight off. Magazines are the true gift

that keeps on giving.

 

* As a hospital patient, you have the right to contract MRSA

(Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) [3] This is a very nasty

staph family bug that actually evolved in the operating room. It can

kill you far faster than AIDS or most any other disease, perhaps with

the exception of Ebola class pathogens. Methicillin is the most

powerful anti-biotic available today. It is so potent it reacts with

plastic, and is one of the few IV drugs administered in glass. As

strong as it is, it can't kill the MRSA bug either. MRSA is almost

always fatal, especially if some careless operating room technician or

nurse starts a mainline IV and doesn't sterilize the patient's skin first.

 

I lost a relative to this bug. And it was found to be contracted in

THE OPERATING ROOM.

 

IF YOU ARE HOSPITALIZED

 

Don't enter a hospital without a friend or loved one to watch

EVERYTHING they are planning on doing to you. To do so alone can mean

serious trouble or even death. For nurses, you are just another slab

of meat that requires vital signs to be taken. All health care

professionals are trained to erect this " protective wall " in order to

survive the rigors of their work. The medical profession includes

DOAs, auto accidents, decapitations, severed arms and legs, gunshot

wounds, knife fight participants, people eaten up with cancer, serious

diseases, amputations, disfigurement, burned bodies and more. And

don't forget the ever present risk of infection health care

professionals face from needle sticks and IV needles left laying on

beds that jab them and cause panic, or even result in death from a

fatal illness.

 

Because of all this, YOU must make sure that a relative or friend is

there almost all the time to WATCH OUT for YOU. YOU will be laying

helpless in that hospital bed. And I mean HELPLESS. When someone is

there looking out for you, health care professionals are more

conscientious. I learned this first-hand from playing the part of the

watchdog many, many times for a family members who were hospitalized.

 

It makes a big difference when health care professionals know someone

is watching.

 

NEVER be afraid as a patient or as a watchdog to question anything and

everything.

 

Again, NEVER, EVER forget this fact: while you're laying there in that

hospital bed YOU are at THEIR MERCY. Painters use a brush to cover up

their mistakes. Doctors bury their mistakes and move on to the next

patient. That's why their office is called a " practice. "

 

A classic statement still applies: " A patient cured is a customer lost. "

 

Have a health care proxy form SIGNED with someone you can trust your

life to.

 

If you are unconscious in most US states without a proxy form, the

hospital can do what your insurance company wants with your care. And

with your dead body as well. This can mean withholding your life

support for a coma condition if it's economically best for THEM, and

not YOU. With the proxy form signed and on file, your wishes as

previously conveyed to your proxy MUST be followed in the event you

are unconscious or in a coma or the hospital or institution can be

held legally liable.

 

Recently, a medical school student told me he just completed the

dissection part of his course. I said " what happened to the body when

you were done? " He said, " Heck, you don't think we gave it back to the

relatives after we were done, do you? No, we have a crematory right

there in the school. " This can easily be the fate of patients that die

without someone there to look our for them. Homeless and single people

without relatives in town to speak for them, are among those damned to

minimal care or even death today. It is true, that many people are

worth more dead than alive.

 

We are living in a world where the value of human life is increasingly

becoming less and less important. This is another aspect of ruthless

social engineering. The more people that die, the happier the social

engineers and the global elite will be. Every possibly means to

shorten the human lifespan is being used right now. If you doubt this,

read the UN documents.

 

Don't allow the medical profession to use you as a doormat. Stand up

for your rights and they will take notice.

 

Ted Twietmeyer.
