I would want to know what the test results were, but I won't let any Dr. predict my death. Any Dr. that would tell me I have so much time to live, I would have to tell them to shove it up their ass.
I would also appriciate the opportunity to do so, which the family of your friend is not allowing.
I also would like the choice,if I thought I was going to die, to die anywhere but a hospital bed.
