I am sorry to hear that you are struggling with your Mom’s illness.
I have never suggested that this type of questionairre be used at “ end of life” indeed I said it was used to prompt families and patients to discuss these things ahead of time. My own mother ( passed in March of 2005) chose to have nothing other than palliative treatment for her fully metastisized cancer. Since I was her care giver and carried her medical power of attorney AND we had discussed MANY times what she wanted, I made sure that the care she got was exactly what she wanted. that was my duty and my gift to her.
Again you have misread my posts because of your own anger. I have NEVER said that vets deserve less than the best. AND I have NEVER advocated for government involvment in helath care.
We will just have to agree to disagree then because I find those types of questions unconscionable...particularly coming from the government. No-one should be forced to do that vile worksheet....EVER...PERIOD.
They are making every veteran do those things whether they are sick or not. It is clearly a guilt trip designed to push them into refusing care.
