ROYAL OAK, MI (WWJ) – Assisted suicide advocate Jack Kevorkian has been admitted to a Royal Oak hospital, where he is reportedly being treated for pneumonia and kidney problems. Kevorkian’s friend and former attorney Mayer Morganroth told WWJ Newsradio 950 Kevorkian was briefly treated for kidney problems earlier this month. Beaumont Hospital is not releasing any information. Kevorkian, who will turn 83 next week, earned the nickname “Doctor Death” in the 1990′s when he admittedly assisted in the suicides of several terminally ill patients.
I met Kevorkian once at a medical supplies expo in the Silverdome and he told me that if he ever ends up in the hospital he wants the plug pulled immediately no matter the ailment. Sore throat, appendicitis, in for a routine physical, whatever. He just kept mumbling something about the sweet release of death and bypassing all the agony and pain or some crap like that. All I know is he gave me the green light so I say we just go ahead and do it while I'm still not sure how I'm supposed to feel about the whole thing.
