Very very interesting. 

My grandmother was dying of sepsis from a risky operation and the medical staff were surprised that she held on until all of her closest family members were able to make it and share a few last words with her. She was in Washington DC at the time and it was nearly 16 hours until family from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, Texas, and Seattle had all arrived to say their goodbyes.

Now I’m a flight paramedic and see this all the time. Still never ceases to amaze me.
