That is a dilemma.
In Warhol's case, he despised hospitals but needed a gall bladder operation.
He hired nurses to sit by his bedside 24/7...... indeed, his private nurse was at his bedside WHEN HE DIED.
She had apparently been reading when she looked up to check him---he had turned blue.
He was sedated....he could not indicate he was in trouble.
Hospital code blue was called....but they could not intubate him---to get oxygen into him. His throat had swelled.
Of course, they blamed it on rigor mortis....not an allergy.....for many years nobody knew why Warhol had died.
Oh dear Lord help us!
