I had a long talk with my doctor about this a few years back. He mentioned a problem I couldn't answer. Can anyone here solve this situation? He said that the problem isn't treatment but the level of treatment. There are humdreds of situations where the best care of the 50's and 60's MIGHT be good enough to handle the situation but the best care of the 90's and 00's would bankrupt the country. I said I would be content with the best care of the 60's, if it were free and that, having spent time in hospital wards, I preferred them to semi-private rooms. My doctor responded that I was a freak, albeit a nice one, and that none of his other patients felt that way. What say the people here? Note that you MIGHT be agreeing to die without protest if the level of treatment wasn't high enough to save you.
