No, they truly understood. Some of those patients were literally at deaths door but they still brought them in. It’s hard to let go of your loved one. I remember having one older woman who was seriously unable to talk, didn’t eat, pretty far into dementia, but they were trying to save mom. I get it.
“I get it.”
I’m glad you do, cause I don’t.
In most cases the individual has signed medical directives, DNR’s, have previously clearly stated their wishes and etc.
Then at the very moment when these clear intentions are needed, the family does a 180? They completely ignore the final wishes of the patient? They prolong the suffering of a dying individual for no good reason?
I hope my family never does that to me.
