42-year-old Canadian Roger Foley is hospitalized but has repeatedly requested that he can be discharged and allowed to live at home. After making requests to go home to doctors, Mr. Foley secretly recorded the hospital staff’s discussions, in which they seemingly offer to help him to seek a medically-assisted death, rather than grant his wishes. In the shocking audio clip, a medical professional tells Mr. Foley he will be billed “north of $1500 a day” to stay in the hospital, before stating that they should be discussing “assisted dying.”
Daily Wire reports: Foley has now released audio recordings of conversations he had with two healthcare workers at Victoria Hospital London Health Sciences Centre, where he has resided since February 2016. One audio recording from September 2017 features Foley speaking of his “forced discharge,” asking the healthcare worker how much he’d have to pay to remain in the hospital. After the man tells him, “I don’t know what the exact number is, but it is north of $1,500 a day,” Foley argues that the Ontario health minister said that was “not legal.” The healthcare worker replies that the hospital does not use “this conversation in every situation … It is only in situations where somebody has a plan in the community that is feasible that they’re not going to accept and that’s okay.” Foley responds, “You have already violated my preferences. … So what is the plan that you know of?” The healthcare worker states, “Roger, this is not my show. “I told you my piece of this was to talk to you about if you had interest in assisted dying.”
Foley told CTV News he decided to release the recordings “to all Canadians as my situation got very bad recently where I almost died.” He added he wanted people to know “the real truth before it is too late for my voice to be heard … “It is the real truth of what is going on in Canada regarding so many assisted deaths without appropriate safeguards, in combination with the lack of necessary care that is not being provided to persons who are suffering. … “I have not received the care that I need to relieve my suffering and have only been offered assisted dying. “I have many severe disabilities and I am fully dependent. “With the remaining time I have left, I want to live with dignity and live as independently as possible.” Tim Stainton, a professor at the University of British Columbia’s School of Social Work, told CTV News that the audio recordings “present a deeply concerning picture. “It would seem to indicate that the hospital has determined, not Mr. Foley, that MAID (medical assistance in dying) would be a reasonable option.”
