OT good experience

I had an unusual experience this afternoon. I drove 70 miles to the hospital because my sister had been told that my 85 yr old brother-in-law would not live through the weekend. All of his doctors said good by and left for the weekend. My wife and I got there about 2PM and a pretty young woman came in the room and looked at his records. She had a white coat on and I noticed the name on her coat had MD behind it. She said to the nurse " Get this man ready for surgery, right now."-On Sunday afternoon. Two hours later she came out of the operating room and said "He will be alright now." I hope she is right. I hope the Fairy Tale continues.
 
Do they care, he is 85. to them life expectancy is zilch.Their week end is more important.
does not conflict with their 'hypocritical' oath.
 
Congrats on the outcome!

At age 76, nothing infuriates me more than when medical personnel take a condescending attitude that at my age all I want is to be comfortable for what little time I might have left. They have no way of knowing how much time I have left. Looking at my family history, I could easily go another 20-25 years.

If I have a physical problem, I want it fixed so I can get on with my life.

My mother, a self described "tough old bird", had a worn out knee at age 89. Her doctor was giving her pointers on how she could live with it. She told the doctor, "I don't want to live with it, I want it replaced. I don't know how many years I have left on this Earth, but I don't want to spend them in pain like I have been".

So--they replaced her knee and she lived actively and happily for another five years.
