I do, also I am aware of iatrogenic deaths. Even more of a moral dilemma are those deaths brought about with the critically ill and pain medicine. Many transpire from the medicine itself as it stops their heart as opposed to their condition.

I am not talking actual assisted suicide, just the practice of care and comfort. That is a moral issue hard to reconcile.

You’ve never had stage four cancer. It can be very painful. Relieving that pain may give someone extra strength to heal

How about all the ridiculous families who insist on all means possible on a frail ninety something year old who just wants to be left alone?

I actually have worked in many Hosp's, and still work in a small Hosp.

I've seen gruesome deaths...You would not believe what I've seen.

I've coded 90+ year old people...that the first thing we do is break their sternums and ribs doing compressions..

It's not something you want to see or do.

I've seen people that think their loved one should be saved at all costs...because of MONEY...way too much.

My advice is get you affairs in order...and have a POA that you trust.

Make yourself a DNR...That doesn't mean we don't treat. It means we do not intubate you and do CPR on you.
