when Christian hospitals —way back when Catholic or Lutheran nuns —ran them—they were awesome!
But I guess our values about caring for the elderly have changed.

To: Recovering Ex-hippie

In general, do not allow yourself to go to a nursing facility in a democratic state where the culture of death holds sway. In my training as a physician I have seen an elderly diabetic with a mind as sharp as a tack denied dialysis by a Catholic hospital (Washington state) and the oxygen turned off on an elderly man in respiratory distress. While it is likely that he would have died anyway, this was the equivalent of holding a pillow over his head.
