When my mother was dying at age 90....they did every test there was...twisting and turning her poor litle body evry which way instead of just letting her rest. I can still hear her moans during these unnecessary tests.

My sister had the power to say "no more tests".

This is where your old people monies go....not to "care"...but to milk the system.

I see this same abuse with my parents-in-law who are both in their 80s. Their doctors have recommended every test imaginable for them. Finally, my father-in-law said, “no more”. They were driving an hour one-way for most appointments, depleting their minimal resources and tiring them out further...
