I do wish I had known about CS and DMSO for my mother in her last
years, but with her ultra-conventional medicine mindset and fear of
anything alternative, she perhaps would have refused it anyway.
The scenario you describe Bob, may be more common in larger cities?
Here, where doctors get to know their patients better, and are apt to
run into them or their families at the grocery store, there is still a
bit more of a more compassionate attitude. When my mother was in
hospital the final time, her doctor told me she had been really lucky to
stay out of the hospital for 3 years (the gap to her last
hospitilization). The ER doctor had seen her several times before. The
on-call doctor filling in for her regular doctor a couple of days had
seen her before. All were well familiar with her and her case. At the
end when there was a choice to be made re heroic measures, her doctors
all told me honestly what might or would certainly happen if we went
there, and so I opted not to do any of those things, to stop having
x-rays, done, to remove fluids, etc so as not to prolong suffering. I
have frequently heard of people in large cities having these options
refused them even when there is a health care power of atty, and a do
not use heroic measures legal document in place. Sometimes those are not
honored. In this case everyone was ok with it. Except for my brother,
who stormed in from California (a day late) and started harrassing the
nurses and doctors and me, to put her in intensivie care, put her on
breathing machine, etc. Since if any of that had been done, she would
simply have suffered far longer, I did not agree. She was kept sedated
with morphine, and died peacefully. My brother still tells everyone I
killed "his" mother. Of course he would not accept the legal power of
atty, nor was he going to stick around and take care of what was left,
if any of those last extreme measures had been done............he did
however, contact me almost 3 years after her death to see if there was
any remaining money from her tiny savings.

someone is terminally ill in their care... they make as much money as

mother who passed away from ovarian cancer complications several years

medications knowing full well all is lost. Allopathic medicine,
especially oncology, is a criminal enterprise IMO.... they scare
families into thinking that only "their" way will work and that any
other modality is dangerous and useless. My mother, God rest her
soul, died from hepatic coma due to liver failure from the
experimental chemotherapy they were giving her. If I could have I
would have sued for malpractice but my mother and father signed away
their rights before any therapy began. I tried in vain to use
alternative medicine but my mother wouldn't have it and the oncologist
in charge of her case threatened me with jail if I intervened. That
baxtard should have been brought up on murder charges ... this sort of
thing goes on thousands of times a day across the country.
