He is worried about 90 year olds getting their chemo cut off. I am worried about keeping aggressive doctors aways from old folks in this and other conditions. My mom passed away from alzheimers in December at age 88. Everytime there was a hospital stay the docs wanted to run expensive tests to see what else was wrong. Being in final stage alzheimes you can imagine her reaction to being tested. Last time at hospital, i told them to clean up the wound from her fall and i would take her home. What life am i prolonging here. Not everyone makes the same choice but i resent folks like inode who want free chemo for rich old folks and no care for poor kids.
