Dr. Marczewski and Dr. Pek, physicians at Loring Hospital, Sac City, Iowa illegally euthanized a 67 year old man named Steve Hatch 49 days after he had a stroke and had been placed in a skilled nursing facility for stroke rehabilitation/therapy. But they worked together to sedate him to convince the estranged brother that he was dying and needed to be placed into hospice and removed from skilled nursing care. Once in hospice, they would not need to examine him again, only to prescribe medications to make his dying in hospice more comfortable. I examined his medical records and summarized the medications/care he did nor did not receive. Two qualifications for placing a person into hospice: 1) must have a terminal illness (a stabilized stroke is not a terminal illness) and 2) must have requested admittance into hospice (Steve Hatch verbally indicated in front of 4 witnesses that he did not want to be put into hospice just because he was temporarily paralyzed on one side and unable to speak clearly. Once in Hospice, they needed to get him dead before my court date to become his legal guardian/conservator where I would have removed him from hospice and signed him back up stroke rehabilitation. They sedated him with narcotics 7 days to make it appear he was dying, then prescribed Morphine every hour as needed for pain (he had no pain) which caused his heart and lungs to stop at 0230 in the morning 49 days following the stroke. That is called "involuntary euthanasia" and it is a felony. I summarized my findings in "The Killing Field Known as Hospice" available at https://www.amazon.com/Killing-Field-Known-Hospice/dp/1985068710/ref=sr_1_19?ie=UTF8&qid=1523901734&sr=8-19&keywords=marlys+j+waters but going on three years no agency at the county, state, or federal level that I've reported his illegal death to have done anything. read more
