they’re killing them here, too.
my 91yo neighbor and dear friend was asked by a cardiologist, at an appointment to see about getting a pacemaker, “just how long do you want to live anyway”?
this is a woman who walks without a walker, has a mind as clear as a bell, and still flys to Hawaii once a year to visit her great grands. It’s a good thing I wasn’t at her appointment with her
Nasty thing to say to her for sure.
The cardiologist for my 95 YO mother in law recommended a pacemaker. She had the surgery and died 6 months later from massive infection thought to have been introduced by a catheter.
