On of my friends at work is having a problem with the care being given to her 86 year old mother. The Mom is just being kept alive with medical miracles and GOT in that position with some medical mistakes. She can't swollow, can't get out of bed, too weak to move, full of tubes. My friend is in a terrible quandry, When to just let the poor woman die? The medical staff seem to be willing to do any heroic thing imaginable and my friend is crying because she is unable to know what to do. The old woman is a mess, tubed up, in pain incoherent... This is bad.
I want to go clean.... Die with dignity
