“No doctor wishes their patient would die.”
I disagree with you. I’ve personally witnessed doctors encourage family members to “call it a day” and discontinue treatment. There’s a horrific mentality among some younger, atheistic type doctors who believe that some lives aren’t worth living and their patient would be better off dead.
And don’t get me started on the way doctors treat “born alive” fetuses who dodge their abortions.
There is a difference between wishing people would die and staying the patient is at end of life. There are cases where every heroic measure is being taken and the patient continues to suffer with no hope of recovery. You throw our every dishonest argument hoping something will stick.
I think all of these ‘pro-population control experiment’ “FReepers” have been planning and waiting for this situation to happen for over 20 years... (/slight sarcasm)
Back in 2010 after my mother had passed away my father was found to have a bowel obstruction. He was in the hospital for several weeks to repair the obstruction and as it was so close to the stomach it was touch and go whether or not he would make it. I never prayed so hard. He was not able to eat or drink and was on an expensive medication delivered by IV(I can’t remember which). I forget how long he was on this medication but one morning while visiting my father a doctor waylaid me to demand when my father was going to get off this $1500/day medicine. My father’s bowels were not active at this time and this doctor was enraged that this expensive medication was being continued.
I was shocked and a nurse came up to me a short time later and apologized for this doctor’s behavior. I discussed the matter with the surgeon who was managing my father’s care and he assured me my father was doing well and that he would handle this other doctor. So yes, there are doctors who hate patients and wish the worst for them. This same doctor called me a couple of weeks later right before my father was to be released to a rehab center and told me that my dad would never walk again. And that he would become diabetic and several other terrible prognoses. (None of which came true.) He was an asshole. My father lived another 10 years. He could walk, had perfect digestion, and did not develop diabetes. That same doctor still works at the hospital. I would never allow him to treat a family member.
