Is it me being paranoid, but it seems to me and others that too many (disproportionate) disabled people seem to die in hospitals, especially in minor operations too, then no questions are ever asked, because disabled peoples' deaths are seen has been caused by their 'impairments/conditions' and recorded as 'natural causes', so if they fuck up while operating and/or caring for us and we die young in their care, then no questions are ever asked... Why?
Is it me being over anxious and paranoid? Are disabled people safe in our hospitals and receiving the same care as non disabled people and they don't see our lifes' being 'lifes unworthy of life' and this is the 'new eugenics', especially in a economic recession, where care and support for disabled people costs 'the state' too much, so if they can kill us of in hospitals and no questions are ever asked then they can get away with this 'new' eugenics, so no wonder I feel so fucking scared to go into hospitals when I am unwell even for minor operations and/or ailments.
