[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be pissed if my kids gave me antibiotics in this situation. If I have advanced dementia and can't make decisions on my own... do not give me anitbiotics. It just prolongs the inevitable. [/quote] +1 an infection is a blessing in this situation. My MIL did not want to be kept alive so when she got a kidney infection, the doctors recommended hospice. FIL would not accept it (MIL not able to make her opinion know and family has ultimate decision despite living will), insisted on the antibiotics, and she went on to live another couple miserable years.
