I think I would have beaten the hell out of the doctor.
I call BS.
I'm sick and tired of it. Every one of these "my doctor wanted me to die" stories just ticks me off a little more. There will come a day that all of ya'll won't have a doctor to blame every thing that goes wrong with your life. They'll be retired or driven out of business. Doctors answer questions and work from experience and literature. "How long do I have to live?" "Experience and research says six months. It would be wise, in any case, to get your affairs in order." "Wa-aah. My doctor wants me to die! He said I had a week to live, and I've made it a whole year! He's a quack!"
More doctors ought to sue these hysterical meunchausens when they write BS about what they "said" or didn't say.
None of this sounds like something that a physician would have volunteered.
Sob sisters can believe it. I don't.
Admire his restraint.
