Williams needs to apologize at cancer inquiry:

CBC NL

The last week of testimony in Newfoundland and Labrador's breast cancer inquiry has begun, with final witnesses including the man who ordered the probe last year: Premier Danny Williams.

The premier is scheduled to take the stand on Tuesday, and though his testimony will not be crucial to understanding how lab tests went wrong, his appearance will be closely watched.
Cancer patient Minnie Hoyles told CBC News on Monday that she wants to hear Williams take responsibility for shortcomings on behalf of the Newfoundland and Labrador government, even for mistakes that occurred before he took office in 2003.

"He can apologize for previous governments and his own government as well," Hoyles said in an interview.

The thought of Williams apologizing is plain and simple bull crap. I agree to, Danny do not need to apologize, he needs to resign instead. What would most of you say if someone approached you today and told you the same or similar is still happening? that there are more screw-ups now than ever? But wait! Are they screw-ups or are they intentional? What would you say if you were told that hospitals in this province were practicing euthanasia and in the most inhumane but covered up way?

I am appalled at being able to say that, but it appears true. A family member of mine just finished chemo and radiation for cancer. The Chemo, she was given some very bad advice on after treatment drugs, and after her first week of radiation she was told “ooops, we marked you wrong, we need to start over. This lady being very senior did not want to challenge them on the screw up.

Since last March, five of my friends, gave it up to cancer and stroke, though maybe terminal, they all had plenty of time left we all believed. In all cases, families were pressured to admit their loved ones to palliative care, three of these five walked into the hospital on their own. The story was the same in all cases, first day IV morpheme for pain that two in particular said on admission day, what pain I have no pain. By third day, these patients were in and out of coma, “my ass” they were overdosed for the love of god! Then came, we are sorry to say, he/she is not eating, we feel it best not to tube feed or continue IV for reasons of yadda, yadda, yadda.

A week to two into this comes; the organs are starting to shut down. Well hell-f’in-o, the patient has been dehydrated, starved and drug overdosed for near three weeks, would you expect different. For me, it would look normal in one patient, but five, it looked more than suspicious. Apology do nothing for these people, they do nothing for the families of these people, they do nothing for the morale of the people. Political apologies are like broken election promises, like Dan would say “the worse kind of fraud”.
