On this day - seven years ago - my friend Mr. Fuchs was rendered unconscious with drugs then denied food and liquids. Seven days later he died of starvation in a nursing home room - alone - surrounded only by the whirl of machines, cold fluorescent light, and impending death.
"You who philosophize disgrace,
And criticize all fears.
Bury the rag most deep in your face
Now is the time for your tears."
.... The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carrol by Bob Dylan
Mr. Fuchs's family: Carlos Fox, Joanne Stewart, Michelle Ramsay, Dr. J.Gilles Boulais
