Have talked to a number of people who have had this happen to a loved one. Years ago there was a piece of legislation that would make it that if a questionable quality of life person came into ERs the attending doc could make decisions not to treat or only use comfort care.
Questionable quality of life to a 31 year old often includes being 70 years old. The legislation did not make in AFAIK but the philosophy has been ingrained I nursing and medicine.
Never let a loved one go to the hospital and stay alone.
I always wondered how the government would handle the baby boomers aging. Now I know.
Yes. They gave my Mom what is called “palliative” care. Dad said she was still struggling to survive and would rather have been at home. Mary Therese Helmueller said years ago that when other medical professionals would talk in front of her, they couldn’t see any reason to live past 65. Despite her myriad of health problems, Mom had a number of near relatives who lived past 90 and even 100. She had good genes. Wonder if the 3rd shot caused her immune system to collapse at 86. Why do so many refuse to do their own research, engage in critical thinking, and recognize materialistic, pagan attitudes toward human life?! They just won’t face the consequences of living in a post-Christian, Pro-Abortion society.
