How Doctors die. It’s not like the rest of us (2016)
Several of my grandparents spent way too long in ICU and hospice care and ultimately it wasn&#x27;t worth it. I feel terrible about how their final days went, but other family members were adamant about &#x27;throwing everything they could at it.&#x27;<p>But the family members making that choice weren&#x27;t footing the bill and they didn&#x27;t have to lay in bed all day, so why wouldn&#x27;t they try? I also feel they had a gross misunderstanding of the capabilities of modern medicine.<p>In each case the doctor&#x27;s asked, &quot;do you want to give him&#x2F;her a fighting chance?&quot; Of course, no one wants to say &#x27;no&#x27; to that question, because they don&#x27;t really understand what&#x27;s possible and don&#x27;t understand what &quot;winning&quot; actually looks like.
