Of course we want to help heal everyone, but some things aren’t going to be healed...we have to learn to know the difference. No one should be subjected to a government saying they can’t receive treatment, but neither should an Oncologist order Chemo and receive payment himself for continuing to treat someone who should be in Hospice, and who should spend the last few months of their life with family and friends saying a peaceful goodbye, even if that means on Morphine.

I saw this abuse firsthand and was appalled, and had the man not have had such great insurance, it would not have happened. This was years ago, and long before this Healthcare battle. Thanks.

I saw this too, in another way, with another type of illness. The situation was absolutely hopeless, but they did “everything possible”... that was, until the Medicare money ran out. Then, it was immediately off to the nursing home/hospice.
