Great advice.
“a little blue pill” or “that one white pill” doesn’t cut it.
Nor does “that Indian doctor on main street in such a such town”
And if your loved one has CHF, DM, COPD, renal failure, chronic liver disease, metastatic breast cancer and has been bright yellow and not eating for a week, dont look aghast if I ask you if they wish to die in peace or be tortured until their last very heartbeat with tubes, drips and machines. For some inhumane reason the family almost always chooses the latter.
just torture them…that’s how we get paid…and we don’t get sued…if you send them home to die…then you get sued…understand?
