@Jen01Phx to me, this story actually doesn't correlate to gum violence. It is rooted in the obscene cost of , , and death. I can absolutely see an instance where someon said, this is going to leave you destitute, me in pain, and I want avoid both. Unfortunately they saw an act of violence as the only way to achieve that because we lack the societal means.

Providing patient-centered care at the end of life: a doctor's perspective

We are often faced with difficult decisions about withholding or withdrawing care for our patients. It can be a tough and emotionally charged situation, but I believe it's important to have open and honest conversations with patients and their loved ones about their options and what they want.

Experience the unique beauty of hospice care

As a hospice volunteer, I have had the opportunity to witness the unique beauty of end-of-life care. In this setting, the focus shifts away from aggressive medical interventions and towards the interpersonal connections and support that can bring comfort to those in their final days.
