[quote=Anonymous]BRAVO Signed, nurse in an oncology unit at a top DC hospital. [/quote] There is no legal/legitimate "medical directive" that would allow a caregiver/spouse/relative or even the state to simply turn their back on a dementia patient and let them die of neglect. Not going to happen. I think there is a percentage of people who like to talk REAL BIG about how they are going to be IN CONTROL and not live in any kind of diminished capacity. They like to talk big, but when the time comes and they actually have dementia, they are going to need the same care that everyone else needs... toilet care, dressing, help with managing life, and security so they don't wander away. The bottom line is that there is no easy way out of living through dementia unless you have a pact with your spouse to do a murder-suicide. [/quote][/quote]
