In a perverse way, this puts paid to the notion that socialized medicine would provide pain relief to the elderly, in lieu of other treatments. (Is beinign neglect a treatment?)

Such 'neglect' is actually FAR from benign, and could be considered malignant, in fact...

“Such ‘neglect’ is actually FAR from benign, and could be considered malignant, in fact...”

I agree. I was just using a phrase that I imagined apologists of the non-treatment using. My first sentence was (I hope) clearly sarcastic. Obviously, in the case of Sweden, the medical system doesn’t even provide pain relief.

Not so benign, if you ask me.
