Reply to comment by Jolly-Leek6809 in Family Dynamics and Doctors' Emotions Drive Useless End-of-Life Care. Surveys repeatedly indicate that nearly all people would rather die peacefully at home, yet painful, long-shot treatments remain common, and efforts to reduce usage have failed by Wagamaga

Extremely depressing. People don’t understand how much pain and suffering happens because of futile measures to keep ppl alive. Also the lack of basic understanding and science. For example someone I talked to recently had a friend that had a very rare form of anal cancer. No one has ever survived with this cancer but her friend was determined. People don’t understand it’s not just the primary type of cancer you have but what stage it is that makes it incurable.
