When my Dad was dying his doctor wouldn’t send him for tests. He just kept filling out prescriptions. My brother diagnosed it as bladder cancer. 3 months later the doctor finally sent him for tests. Bladder cancer, and it was too late. When my brother asked what we could do to make things easier the doctor asked my brother what he thought they could do. My brother is not a doctor. It was ridiculous.

About two months before he died he asked a nurse if he could have water with his food instead of juice because he just threw up the juice. She chewed him out for treating her like his waitress. He was just thirsty but didn’t want to throw up what little food he could hold down.

I lost a lot of respect for the entire health sector in a very short time.
