Death Panels redux
Not to worry, they are Republican Death Panels.
Pray America woke
Having cared for two dying family members, mother and husband, since the Death Panels issue was raised, I saw NO SIGN of that in operation. When the end was near I was able to discuss the situation in detail with their health care providers and given sensible advise on how to handle their “do not resuscitate” signed orders. They had executed those documents 10 years before they were near the end. Mom died of congestive heart failure when the pig valve she had received at age 78 was failing at age 89 when she was too frail for a second surgery. Husband died of Alzheimer’s when he could no longer swallow easily and lost interest in food. Both wanted to die at home and I had the help of regular hospice nurse visits at the end.
