7. another truthful and sometimes
painful discussion needed... I know this sort of thing happens and too frequently...

I cared for my husband for a number of years and we knew it was terminal... I watched as doctors did screenings and tests that made no difference to my husband's well being and cost too much... ultimately they just gave him all the oxycodone and morphine he wanted...

I see it with my elderly mother and father... many treatments and tests that do nothing to increase their overall health and/or well being.

health insurance companies have written the rules and guidelines and know what brings them the most money
