Please, just stay away from nursing homes. I know you would want them all starved.

Knowing what I know now after some real life experiences I trust few doctors these days beyond my primary care physician. Second if you believe in the sanctity of life use Catholic managed or associated hospitals. Most of the other hospitals who use church or Christian names have long since been removed from any doctorines or principles of their church.

I about decked a doctor in an emergency room about 4 years ago for refusing needed care for my wife. Had the attending physicians continued their plan of care she would have died. They missed a severe adverse medication reaction that results in acute psychotic behavior. But no mental illness I know of produces a Coma or unconsciousness in a patient.

Families should discuss their wishes with other family members. If doctors and hospitals wish to act against them have an escape plan worked out by trusted family members to seek treatment in a more friendlier state if possible. Be ready to use it if reason does not work.

Now that you're done yelling and screaming, do you have anything to contribute to the discussion?
