I am in the US. Georgia to be exact,
My friend is a nurse and she said there is a such thing in the US as a "slow code" which is basicly medically killing someone. This was happening to my dad, my nurse friend pointed it out, and he was then transfered to a different hospital. But they were giving him super high doses of morphine which has sulfur in it. My dad was very allergic to sulfur and was in his allergy chart...his kidneys were shutting down. It was not until we found out that morphine has sulfur in it, and called them on it that they took him off of it and his kidney function returned to normal. He died anyway when MRSA infection took over his lungs. Strangely none of it was on his skin, where it normally manifests first before going internally. The only way it could have been only in his lungs was if it was in his breathing equiptment which he was on because of COPD. I dont consider this to be an accident. His doctors decided he was to die. I cant prove it was intentional...but in my gut, I know it was.
The same doctor that slow coded my dad was reported in the paper to have given hugely illegal doses of insulin to a diabetic patient before she woke up from surgery. The nurses tried to stop him, but he fought them and injected her. She coded moments later and went into a diabetic coma for 4 months. I refer to him as Dr. Death...somebody locally is protecting him cuz no matter what he does to whom...he does not get punished.
My nurse friend also told me that she overheard doctors saying that a sick post menopausal woman no longer has a use to society and there is no point in wasting effort trying to save her. You dont have to worry about Obamacare wiping out granny, they have been doing that for some time on their own. I guess if you are female and cant push out a sh*tload of babies then you are of no use and should die.
I do know that medicine is very gender biased. My mom has a rare disease and she is part of a support group specific to that disease. It mostly occurs in women, but sometimes in men. The women in the group mostly go 10 years or more before a diagnosis and are mostly treated like head cases, even though this disease can be life threatening. However the men usually get top of the line care and are diagnosed in less than 2 years and are in alot better health than the women, who even after diagnosed, are still treated like they are somewhat pscho-somatic. The difference in care between the males and females in the group is glaring. The ones who suffer the worst mistreatment and lack of proper care are women who had hysterectomies or are post menopausal.
I hate it when doctors play god, but from what I seen...it is best to eat healthy and try to take care of yourself to avoid being at the mercy of the US medical system.

I knew the South was backwards and that proves it. I wonder how many whites emigrated to South Africa, after it became illegal to be a racist in the United States. I wonder if the doctor is a child or grandchild of a German, as Nazi German doctors enjoyed killing people. If you want to punish that doctor, there's an old saying that describes how to get punishment in this situation, "if you want it done right, do it yourself." Just don't leave any evidence or witnesses if you decide to do it yourself.
