ORIGINAL: Lucylastic I have healthcare that isnt complicated for me... so you are talking thru your anal flap again. Obama: Old people don't need life saving treatments. They can just take a pill... You know though, there is some point where the medical care given to people that are very very old is ridiculous. I mean, performing cpr on an 88 year old nursing home patient seems pretty ridiculous to me. maybe you would like to stand and watch and do nothing to an 88 year old person, as they die... I watched my grandmother as she was dying, chest heaving, gasping for breath. My cousin is an RN in a nursing home and she tells me stories of families who insist that they do cpr on their family member. She can feel their ribs breaking and she has to do it anyway. Sometimes it just gets to a point where people need to accept death. Around 90 they try to convince the family to convince mom or dad to sign a DNR...Do Not Resuscitate form. That is unless of course they are on a very profitable drug or therapy protocol. The hosp., insisted on 4-6 weeks of chemo upon discovering lung cancer in my father at the age of 83 even though everybody knew it wouldn't cure him or even slow death. Sure enough, after 6 weeks, they took him off chemo put him on a morphine drip and he could shake all of our hands...goodbye. [They] ALL wanted that extra $20-$25,000 in treatment for which they could further rape Medicare. Plus $750-$1,000 a day for the hospital stay. Total for less than his last 2 months...$40,000.
