Nurses, hospital workers...I think they just want to see you die, They are pretty immune to death, and probably figure most people are just gonna kick off anyways.....
plus they do see alot of suffering.

Yours just happened to be the last bizarre statement on the thread as I read down. When you say something silly like that I can tell you that you have been warped by Terri hysteria that is more emotional than logical.

There is no 'culture of death'. There is no agenda by hospital and hospice workers to just make sure that more people die and soon. We are rather just in a period in medicine where people can be kept alive a long time but not always cured, when we can delay the death of a patient who is no longer even aware they are alive.

I can only assume many here are naive to death and dying, have not been through it with loved ones. I have been through more losses than most people my age, I think. I lost my mom, grandparents, and almost all my aunts and uncles to terminal disease. Most had the fortune to know they were going to die and to give their wishes serious thought. And most did not want to prolong the suffering of everyone when there was no hope of recovery. To see my mother nearly lifeless in her final stages, alive but unable to wake due to morphine that kept her from suffering immeasurable pain from her cancer... No one should want to prolong that. And the people who treated her, ensured her comfort and helped us know what to expect as she died were Godsends. Make no mistake about that.
