[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh no OP.  You should not have forced a feeding tube on her if she gave a thumbs down.  ☹️

My father was very mentally alert and had cancer and went into hospice with all his mental faculties and was very cognizant of what was to come.  It’s hard.  They manage pain and anxiety.  It’s scary but it is what it is. [/quote]

You people are truly disgusting. Jumping and attacking me and my family like a bunch of ugly shews. You don’t know the entire situation. She changed her mind. Wants more time to say goodbye to family, including people not in town yet but traveling to see her today.

Good riddance to you ugly people. Thanks to the RN for answering the question. The rest of you couldn’t, just jumped in to give your ugly unsolicited opinions.

You literally said you talked her into it.

I would gently suggest your anger is at the grief you are going through and not the helpful advice you have been given here.[/quote]

NP - can you lay off the grieving child who is trying to do what's best for her mom? She did the responsible thing by following up to be entirely sure her mom wants to stop life saving treatment. I'm truly frightened that some of you would take a thumbs down to a feeding tube discussion so literally that you are ready to pull the plug on your parent. [/quote]
