The surgery didn’t go as planned and now I’m ready to go home but don’t want my family to have to open the door and push me in. The family has decided to take an extreme risk for quality of life so they are willing to take me off the ventilator to see if I can breathe on my own but the doctors refuse to carry out those wishes unless they also agree to stop my Dialysis and feeding. That’s not only cruel on my part but their’s as well as this brings comfort to only the doctors with such a decision. If these same doctors believe I can only live a day or so without the ventilator then why do they have to worry about pulling some other plugs to make sure this occurs, instead of just trying to give me an alternate small chance of survival? My family wants to give me a quality of life and the doctors appear to want to end it instead?
FOOTNOTE- Sorry to say but this is a true story in many cases.
