Medical costs at the end of life is astronomical, and NH are pretty bad cost wise.
As a medical professional, I wish physician assisted suicide was more accepted/ legal. I mainly deal in trauma, and end of life Care is a huge topic with many families.
Also, can’t tell you how many times I’ve been called to put in a port for chemo for someone with terminal cancer, and when I get there to talk to patient, they’ve never been told what to expect from the chemo. Often I bring up, if they say without chemo, you have 3 months, but with chemo you have 6, do you want to feel like shite for 4-6 months, or go and do bucket list stuff (along with hookers and blow)?
