But not my wife! :}
She's still a doll. She left a hospice job when they no longer fullfilled their promise of n"not doing anything to hasten death." And I was very proud of her and if the nurses in Fl would have half the sense of her, we wouldn't be in this mess. They wouldn't have a nursing staff and the admin. type are too lazy to keep doing any amount of real caring work.Yes, I'm a little off track and tooting my wife's horn--so be it.

Toot away. Sounds justified.

I was going to ask you to thank your wife for her opinion that you had posted further up in this thread, and then thought - no, that's too personal - not in the spirit of the thread - but since you just "tooted her horn" let me add a "ditto." She sounds like the real deal. I have been so disheartened to hear some "nurses" call talk shows who have no problem with what is being done to Terri.




I want everyone who uses insulin, or a nebulizer or home oxygen or a wheelchair or needs dialysis three times a week, etc to consider that they are now existing in a world where those items are considered extraordinary, and can be withheld.

You're right to be proud. My RN wife - now at two decades of giving geriatric care - would blow a fuse too. They may not all be angels, but most of the nurses we know (and all the ones we would associate with) are far, far better than this ANA statement would make them out to be.
