So it’s a good idea to readmit a patient 6 times in 6 weeks for end-stage COPD? Sure. If you’re a hospital bilking the system and no doctor wants to be bothered to actually tell the patient that they’re dying.

Telling a patient that they’re dying and treating them appropriately isn’t killing them.

Nah, just let them die. What do their doctors know? Who needs those obnoxious heart patients around anyway, right?
