[quote=Anonymous]What you are referring to OP is rationing of care. And all it takes is one doctor or health care provider who just decided in their own opinion they've done enough and let your parent die. This happened to my father. He was like your parents, did not want to die. He was only 76 when he passed but he did absolutely everything the doctors had told him to do, was a model patient (even ate a renal diet which is a nightmare of epic proportions) , was willing to be on dialysis forever if it meant seeing his grandchildren grow, and it only took one random doctor who decided it was too difficult to redo his port and for my father to reschedule for him, within 24 hours, to go into full renal failure (bc no port = no dialysis) and quickly die.
