I just talked to a friend. His mother, 91, was in what he had said was already a terminal condition, and told me a horror story. I asked her to let me play, but has asked me to not give their names or where they live, except to say that this is a town very close to Valencia. The story is certainly not accurate in detail, I have taken notes and I'm playing from memory, but I know it is quite accurate in general terms at the bottom of the story. The truth is that his mother is very old, but a person, and has the same rights as any other regardless of age. But that does not seem to count for up to three doctors who cared for the poor grandmother after suffering a fainting, in what looked like a heart attack. Call the ambulance, emergency, and the attending physician recommends that stabilizes and take it to the doctor, but he said that his mother is very old and those are signs that is in the final. The visit to the doctor does not improve prognosis, without further analysis, without making any evidence, determines that the lady is very old and is in the past, it is not worth entering it, which, for what remains, better to die at home .
And while you're at home when it comes another swoon, apparently by a sudden drop in voltage. Another emergency physician to serve them and that he says are signs of approaching death. This time his daughter, my friend, do not take your family doctor, who already has practically hopeless. He takes her to the emergency room of a hospital. There, despite the inconvenience of having to queue for 4 or 5 hours so that you can attend, serve and make him the evidence should have asked the doctor, after he detected what was behind around the box a simple fainting was urinary tract infection.
The grandmother, who maintains the clarity and much of the mobility and independence, knew what he had told the other doctors and "life expectancy" that gave him, so that knowing the diagnosis of urinary tract infection , has asked the hospital emergency physician (my friend was teary as I said it): "So I can live?" "Certainly, ma'am"
Now my friend is seriously considering filing a complaint against the doctors who by negligence, negligence, and arrogance or whatever reason, have ignored simple tests had shown the disease and have been evicted his mother, denying basic care to which they are entitled. He told me that even if it were true that he is dying, doctors should provide not only health within the possibilities, but also the best possible quality of life.
