Are We Looking at the Same Thing?

Commentary on the all too often futility of medical treatment. Life at all cost? At what price? How much can one body take? Who benefits from the decision to prolong the suffering of any one person?
Think about this as you sit on 5 round stones for 30 minutes, plug your nose and breath through two straws.

LOVE your clever song! I agree with your sentiments so well. My husband and I both worked for a hospice company, and always wondered why someone could choose the comfort of hospice, and not put into place a DNR order. So...he just wrote a song in the same vein...The I Don't Want My Ribs Broken Blues. I will send you a link.

I like that you question weather the mesures the Dr.'s taking is for your good or the Dr.'s own fear of death. Great voice and guitar work as well! *****

Nicely done. Its a fine line between healing and hurting. I sometimes wonder who we're thinking of when we do some of the things we do

That's really great!!!! Nice guitar work,too. This reminds me of most of my patients in ICU. It's really too bad. Extraordinary measures have become very routine now.
