@C7RKY this is why Gold Service Framework, Amber Care Bundle, Advanced Directives are so important. Failing to prepare is preparing to fail. -
@doctorcaldwell I'm with you on this one. I now have a power of attorney for my mum & a clear idea of her wishes. But fear drove me to do so -
@C7RKY not fear compassion. Neither of my parents wanted heroics. One died peacefully in a hospital one in nursing home. No drips just peace -
@doctorcaldwell Sorry - I missed this at the time. I can assure you it was fear in our case doc. Sad maybe, but absolutely true I'm afraid.
