My mother was admitted on 26/12/22 at St Mary's hospital for asthma attack, after checks it appeared she had pneumonia after three weeks treatment she was well enough to home but the doctor forgot to input it on data that she was well enough to go, so we demanded to take her home the doctor who was on shift told us if you take her you would be responsible if she dies, so we agreed to wait for the doctors decision. On the 11 January doctors told us that our mother is infected with sepsis in the hospital and her chances of survival was too low and they gave us two options either to put her on induced coma which they advised it's hight risk considering her age or to keep the treatment this way you have chance to say your good byes and she can communicate with you. My mum seemed fine and was eating well but doctor claimed the food was going on the wrong direction without no evidence my mum was perfectly fine so they put her on nil by mouth and this was the end for my mum, they also put her on ventilator so powerful that my mother pulled off one day I told us they are killing me, so made the ventilator so tight which bursed both sides of her cheeks even water to wet her lips and mouth was denied to her on 14 January she was begging for food and water, on 15 Jan she went into deep sleep like coma and she passed away early morning on the 16/01/2023. We all witnessed to torture that they put through our mum, if they knew she was dying why did they put her through this inhumane treatment my was 81 but full like with no other health issues apart from asthma. We said no to induced coma but what they did to her and us was worse
