[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eldercare in our country sucks. We don't have joint family system and cheap hired help like eastern cultures nir do we've efficient and free assisted living like Scandinavian countries. [/quote] A major reason is that here the elders are kept alive for a very long time due to excellent medical care and the doctors are afraid to get sued. In other countries falling is a common way to pass away. So is passing away from illnesses or injuries. Nobody replaces hips/knees over a certain age in the majority of countries, or does other major surgeries. Here one can be kept alive as a vegetable if the family insists. In Scandinavia in particular, people are not afraid of death or end of life (as they are here) and take it as a normal part of existence (cue the now popularized Swedish death cleaning). [/quote]
