Oi! Read this essay, you lot. It’s superb. Thank you Charles, yet again, for your eagle eye.
Read the article and the attendant comments. Now I will include specific instructions in my will ! Am now sending this article to my daughter (a nurse of 15 months) Will be interesting to see her comments !(especially as she has just done a ‘crash’ course)
“If there is a state of the art of end-of-life care, it is this: death with dignity. As for me, my physician has my choices. They were easy to make, as they are for most physicians. There will be no heroics, and I will go gentle into that good night.” – this is going in my ‘to do’ file.
Thanks Charles
I echo every sentiment in this article. I have my advanced directive sitting next to me. The difficulty in completing it is that I am currently healthy. It asks what treatments I don’t want……….which is difficult as I have no idea what illnesses I am going to get. I must ask my GP to help me decide what I want and in the meantime, everyone who matters knows that I want to go into that good night when my time comes with the minimum of intervention.
Thanks for the article Chas. I have forwarded it to a young F1 who wants to specialise in oncology.
