Comments by "Sammy" (@mrsTraveller64) on "This Doctor Wants to Humanize Death | Op-Docs" video.
When my dad was dying I couldn't take it in. I didn't want anyone to say that there was no chance anymore and thank God the doctor said that he has seen some few people suddenly getting better, that medicine can't explain, so he has stopped saying that there is NO chance anymore. Instead he said there is really not anything left that we can do for him, he probably has only a couple of weeks left.. Well, my dad died two weeks later, but to me it was an ENOURMUS comfort not to have to hear those horrible words that he WILL die for sure. IF I had had to hear that, I would just have cried and cried and not seen any light anywhere. As it was, I was clinging to that little invisible amount of hope and my body and mind got time to prepare for mayby, most probably loosing him. For me it would NOT have been prepairing if I had had the words "will die for sure" thrown in my face in one second. So please doctors, we are different kind of people and we need to be met in different ways.
