This is a touchy subject no matter which way you look at it. I am for the most part in agreement with the decision that was made. However I don't feel it should be yielded as a broad brush stroke and applied to every single person. I believe that this needs to be looked at on a case by case basis, or the risk for abuse becomes high. If people are trapped in failing bodies, better they should be able to end it on their own terms, and properly.The alternative is some will attempt on their own. We all know how some suicide attempts end up. They end up alive, angry, bitter, and with more problems than they initially had due to live, kidney, etc damage. And that is a further cost to themselves emotionally,physically, and to the health care system. People should be counseled on their choice, and help offered. If in the end they chose to end it, on their terms, because of some malicious disease, I see no reason why they should not be allowed, and to have someone assist them to get it "right". And before anyone says anything, I have personally felt the bite of suicide. My first wife attempted suicide a number of times before finally succeding in the fall of 2004. I know how touchy this subject can be. The biggest question to come out of the debate for pro/con assisted suicde is this, what is in the best interest of our patients? I know if I was severely ill with little to no chance of recovery I would reach for the shot gun and do it myself, while I could. Sorry about the rambling.

So I am channel surfing, and this scene catches my eye. I turn Channels just as an oversized shark is jumping out of the ocean and eating a 747 right out of the sky. Wtf are people on coming up with that crap?

I think it's going to be dicey, but I think enough people are pissed off enough to come out and vote and give the PC's a hurting. I think the main factor will be people getting out to vote. If the numbers are like like election I don't think there will be a change. If everyone else gets convinced to use their rights.....it will be another story.

To say that that was a crapper of a call doesn't begin to describe it. I feel for you, my friend. The job we do has us facing some of life's worst moments. I am glad you have found. Outlet where you can vent And not keep things bottled up. And to echo someone elaes's comment.....it is good this call bothers you, because it means you care. I'd be more worried about you of something like this didn't bother you! On another note, great job on the save! We cN't save them all, but the ones we do, it sure feels good, doesn't it. Keep on touch. -
Better luck next season flames! Because you chances just went from slim to non-existent!

Hard to explain to someone who has no clue. It's a daily struggle being in pain or feeling sick on the inside while you look fine on the outside. Please put this as your status for at least 1 hour if you or someone you know has an invisible illness (PTSD, Anxiety, Bipolar, Depression, Diabetes, Crohn's Disease, LUPUS, Fibromyalgia,TM, MS, ME, HS, Chronic Fatigue, Arthritis, Celiac, Cancer, Heart Disease, Epilepsy, Autism,M.D. etc.) Never judge what you don't understand.

k..I'm running a test to see who's reading my posts. I realize that's about 4 of you. So, if you read this, leave me a one-word comment about your day. Only one word please. Then copy this to your wall so I can leave a word for you. Don't just post a word and not copy - that's not as much fun =)
