A nightmare that doctors overwhelmingly choose to avoid when they die themselves

118. We had this same discussion several months ago.

Try rereading the original post. Try posting some data if you want to dispute where old people die and how much is spent on end of life care, particularly in the last month. People don't want to be vegetables, on ventilators and feeding tubes. Yet doctors and hospitals do it every day.What is the point of being alive if you can't hug and talk to people you love? Doctors and hospitals get families to keep saying yes to treatment after treatment after treatment because they don't want to "say goodbye" to grandma, not because grandma has any hope of recovering and living a normal life. And it is the profit motive, don't kid yourself. They go to Congress in their Rolex watches and Gucci shoes and talk about how hard it is to be doctor and how they need higher Medicare rates because they just can't make it with current rates, etc. It's ridiculous. Be a vegetable if you want to, and believe doctors are just being kind if you want to, but don't peddle it to me. Nobody is buying here.
