[QUOTE="collegeboundgal, post: 1673218, member: 23485"] Family's do. Family's push their elders through guilt to go through procedures, that are hard for a younger person to have done, for just one more day with their loved one. Believe me, we as staff are slacked jawed when we see a 98 year old, bed bound with pressure ulcers to the bone come in to our hospital with family saying "they want everything done". Great grandma was just fine living all alone till she fell and broke her hip. she'll get back to living at home once she has her hip replaced. Oh, dad who just had a massive stroke at 70 but had decided in his 60's that he didn't want to be intubated (artificial airway) or CPR? well, he doesn't know what he REALLY wants, tube him anyway. And we HAVE TO... Many, Many stories just like this. It's your own family... [/QUOTE]
