I worked as a county geriatric social worker at one point in my life. I've seen people in many stages as well. So I speak from first hand experience. Every case is different. I guess I'm just a firm believer and too got damn hard head to give up on people. I've had families come back and thank me for my insight, when I didn't agree with what the doctors have had to say.
There are things out side of traditional medicines that save lives and once those avenues are ventured upon, the outcome can be amazing. Unfortunately many people don't know their options and are ready to throw in the towel..There were many times, in my battle that I was very suicidal, the pain was intense and I toyed with driving my car into a pole, you name it, it crossed my mind. If I hadn't had the responsibility of my nephew and my nieces..I know I would've. I think my attending UC Berkeley where there are people in wheelchairs who have to use their mouths to type and move their wheelchairs had a deep impact on me and I view life a whole lot differently than others do. A lot of these same people are on the deans honor role too..
Just thought I'd add that.
