Those forms are designed for the hospital's bottom line, not for the patient. They are written by lawyers and bean counters. Orders for certain drugs, like vaxxines, heparin, etc, are generated as a matter of practice. We cannot continue to be ignorant of how they are operating. This is not necessarily the fault of the providers either. They are also to some extent, victims of the same machine that has taken over.

You are right. When someone has been hurt or is seriously ill, that is not the time to be worrying about what is hidden in those e-docs. We are going to have to do things differently if we are going to survive this system because there are times we are going to need some of the services they provide. We need to have docs at home ready to go in the event of hospitalization that have been filled out with a clear head and the ability to come to decisions about the care and treatment a person wants - when they are not under some kind of duress. Hospitals are less likely to buck someone that has legal ammunition and playing by their own stinking rules in the system they created. At the moment, we are not going to fight them any other way.

This is just the sad reality of where we are right now. Back when I was screaming about where this was headed, .... well, you know the story. Sometimes people have to be shown before they get it. It just saddens me because this lesson is going to come with a huge price tag.
