Uggh. I was talking to a person who said MAID was forced on their family member. I was like WTF and explained they need consent, so they said their family member went in for an exploratory surgery and then the family all got called in because the docs said he had only hours left.
They show up and the person is not hooked up to machines or IV etc, and they asks why. The answer is because they are dying.
Family freaks out and demands IV, and other remedies to get the person back to health.
I’m like OK, so all is good? Their reply was no the family member died 5 days later due to cancer.
SMH. So you put that person through an extra week of hell.
Also what was happening: that’s not MAID anyway if a person just fades away from dying by refusing medical tratment, its not a dose to end your life.
