[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I noticed that as my father aged, medical staff was more often disregarding his symptoms or input. I was his advocate, but it depressed me to think of all the seniors who don't have someone looking out for them or speaking up for their needs.[/quote] Perhaps because there comes a point in a persons life that there isn’t really a benefit to treating something. Or doing the most aggressive treatment. [/quote] This. I will never understand why people want to prolong sickly lives. [/quote] That is YOUR choice (and one I generally agree with) but it is also not for you or a medical provider to decide. As someone noted above, if the patient has the desire to live and able to make that decision then that's it. Just because someone is elderly doesn't mean their lives are any less worthy to continue living, regardless of the cost. [/quote] +1[/quote]
