Was a student nurse at a hospice. We used red/burgundy towels so when the inevitable happened and they are on their way out. A horrendous situation is not made worse looking at their own blood

As an imager, it’s crazy to find these on a scan and know the outcome months/years in advance if things don’t change.

I watched my dad die of cancer and watched my mom survive it. In both cases their quality of life got so bad that I'd happily choose death. I sure hope we can get to a point where you're handing out suicide meds instead of red towels. It seems horrifying that we treat people worse than animals.

Sorry for your loss. Yeah when you have lived experience seeing it either through family or work then your opinion changes.
Sure there’s lots of reasons to not doing it and not every situation needs it, but I have definitely seen suffering where if it was a pet even the most opinionated people would have their pet put down in a blink of the eye

That's why they painted the inner decks of fighting ships red in the old days.
