Who is Mae Magouirk?

The first time I heard or read the name Mae Magouirk was the other day on a blogsite, Civilization Calls. I then read it in Wide Right Turns. This morning I read a blog by Mover Mike and decided that it was time to dig a little deeper to find out what was so important about Mae Magouirk. In case you are wondering, this is a blog about Mae Magouirk. (Remember the song, “Alice’s Restaurant”? Repeating something so that there can be no doubt is effective)

“Two weeks ago, Magouirk's aorta had a dissection, and she was hospitalized in the local LaGrange Hospital. Her aortic problem was determined to be severe, and she was admitted to the intensive care unit. At the time of her admission she was lucid and had never been diagnosed with dementia.

Claiming that she held Magouirk's power of attorney, Gaddy had her transferred to Hospice-LaGrange, a 16-bed unit owned by the same family that owns the hospital. Once at the hospice, Gaddy stated that she did not want her grandmother fed or given water. “
"Grandmama is old and I think it is time she went home to Jesus," Gaddy told Magouirk's brother and nephew, McLeod and Ken Mullinax.”

I believe that Beth Gaddy is, at this time, guilty of Attempted Murder of Mae Magouirk. It makes no difference that she wants dear old grandma to be with Jesus. Naturally if she had said, “Put the old bat down, she’s taking up too much of my valuable time!”, or “Just shoot the old bag full of drugs; just so I don’t have to hear her nagging me anymore.”; things like that might upset the community. “How much extra would it cost to speed the process up, I scheduled a tennis match for 3:45pm?”, no, that’s way too callous, how about, “This wouldn’t be necessary if the damned Aorta had blown out properly.”

While we’re in the mood for filing charges; let’s not leave out the good folks at Hospice La Grange who are accomplices in the Attempted Murder of Mae Magouirk. It would be hard for them to refute the fact that they knew that Mae Magouirk did not fit the requirements for admission to their facility. Mae Magouirk was not “terminal”, at least not until Hospice La Grange got a hold of her and began starving her to death. Did I mention that the same hospital that had Mae Magouirk as a patient also ownes Hospice La Grange?

Oh, I almost forgot, Judge Donald W. Boyd, of the Troup County Georgia Probate Court, who has willingly acted against Mae Magouirk by providing a “legal” means of committing murder by providing guardianship rights to Beth Gaddy. Beth Gaddy had already made it clear that she has no intention of following the desires or the written living will of Mae Magouirk and so Judge Donald W. Boyd is an accomplice up to his black robe in what can only be called Attempted Murder at this time. Should Mae Magouirk die as a result of the intentional depravation of liquids and nourishment then they would have to be charged with Murder.

In case you forgot that everything up until this point has been about Mae Magouirk; from here on this blog is about everyone who breaths air, swallows water and depends on food each day to make it to the next day. I can’t think of how to say it better than the way Ron Panzer was quoted.

Ron Panzer, president and founder of Hospice Patients Alliance, a patients' rights advocacy group based in Michigan, told WND that what is happening to Magouirk is not at all unusual.

"This is happening in hospices all over the country," he said. "Patients who are not dying – are not terminal – are admitted [to hospice] and the hospice will say they are terminally ill even if they're not. There are thousands of cases like this. Patients are given morphine and ativan to sedate them. If feeding is withheld, they die within 10 days to two weeks. It's really just a form of euthanasia."


What was the line from the Star Wars movie where Yoda is working to teach young Skywalker how to confront the Dark Side? Skywalker was showing off his bravado and claimed that he wasn’t afraid. Yoda replied, “You will be!” If you haven’t figured it out yet, the justice system that was originally put in place to protect individual rights has been perverted beyond recognition. If you are not afraid of what the courts are doing, right this very minute, then very soon, “You will be!”

Here are the “Final” Credits; just like in the movies, even better, some have links.

Beth Gaddy, granddaughter of Mae Magouirk.

Gaddy went before Troup County, Ga., Probate Court Judge Donald W. Boyd and obtained an emergency guardianship over her grandmother. (Let's all e-mail the good judge)
