What has been appalling? I have said nothing more the. Medical fact. If it is the truth that your are appalled by so be it. I cannot help not control that. If you are upset by my response to personal attack I am sorry that you cannot bear someone defending themselves. The problem is this, often people with your perspective attack with emotion to obliterate the truth. I choose not to live in that world. The Socratic conditions of debate are honesty, candor, and good will. You are showing none of those. I probably would not enjoy taking care of you or your loved ones as a result of your lack of unrealistic attitude. Just because you can make a personal attack does not mean this is a one way street. You impugned my integrity without any provocation. I am in fact a physician with four board certifications including critical care and Neuro critical care. You have not the first idea of how I practice medicine. Would you like to see the hundreds of letters and several awards I have received around the compassionate delivery of healthcare? Of course not, you are far too narrow minded.

What have I said that it materially incorrect? I have not problem with the family arranging different plans for the body. If they want to ventilate the dead body, fine. But to demand people to pay for it and arrange it? Sorry. I can't support that! You think the hospital is doing this ?? Try dealing with the fact that this is a physician issue. Have you ever cared for the dying? Stood at bedside for hours doing your best to help? Can you forecast the consequence of this insanity? I can. By allowing the courts into a scientific and medical decision by a judge not trained it only opens the door to government abuse. Your advocacy has only accelerated that which you are afraid. Again you probably don't think along those lines. If you want to make an argument at least educate yourself on how to make an intelligent fact based argument not an emotional one. I cannot wait to hear what has been so appalling.
