Something's wrong here. Sedation and analgesia are basic parts of excellent palliative care.

It really is sad: but he should not have committed murder. Specialists in pain management 30 years ago and more were saying "There's no such thing as intractable pain. There is, unfortunately, such a thing as intractable doctors and nurses." In other words, effective pain management for the terminally ill has been around for a long time.... unless the doctor is unwilling or unable to practice basic palliative medicine.

Put in writing what your medical choices are while you still have the ability to do it. Download the National Right to Life WILL TO LIVE (LINK) now and customize it carefully according to your own best judgment. Then make sure your nearest and dearest know EXACTLY what you mean, because no piece of paper will help you if it doesn't have a living, vocal advocate behind it.

What happened in this shooting murder should never, never have taken place.

I happen to be in the Health Care biz.........

I've seen plenty of patients die. I've seen some go like I'd like to go...And I've seen too many go...in a way I wouldn't wish.

Many families..and Doctor's end up torturing their loved ones/patients. And I don't use the word "torturing" lightly.

The lead up to death can be horrible...but it doesn't have to be. I can totally understand a spouse that can't stand the sight and sound of their loved one being tortured...to make it all stop.

Was a gun the right way? Probably not. Will God punish him? I don't know.

Is God a loving God...that knows the hearts of all men and women? Yes!!
