It isn't something anyone who is serious about healthcare and works in medicine would even consider for longer than half a second. He would be laughed out of any hospital with such theories. That's not at all what I am saying either. And also the problem with these discussions. It's so generalized, so people extrapolate what I say to these extremes. No, people in general aren't horrible and want to die. I'm saying a subset of the population is like this, and they are disproportionately what is costing us so much. Cut them, and suddenly everyone who does care gets better, affordable care. The "fire" under their ass might motivate some of them to fix it before it's too late. The ones who die as a result of their failure, well, it's not necessarily a worse fate compared to being in an out of a hospital every month. That is its own hell. Ask how many doctors and nurses want to extend life and have the most aggressive care during end-of-life. You'll find drastically almost zero. This is an American cultural issue and ethically does a lot of harm. Read Being Mortal. Please. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
