Yours is the most appropriate post in this thread.
Years gone past, when there weren’t ‘nursing homes’ and ‘medicaid’ or ‘medicare’ families actually CARED for the elderly and infirmed. Then when 90 y.o. granny who’s been demented for the past 15 yrs developed a bowel obstruction secondary to colon cancer, the family that has paid granny’s medical care and actually rotated her in bed 4 times a day to keep from the development of bedsores and cleaned the sheets from the code browns probably didn’t opt for the colon resection and chemo.
As a nurse, I’m not sure how to take your posts. Are you advocating the withholding of treatment in patients that you deem unqualified?
