Reply #22: I am so very sorry about your sister [View All]

It is very emotional and sad time to lose your sister.

Similar situation happened a couple years ago in Ohio to husband's sister. She got very sick, went into the hospital. All the tests were run, and it appeared from what they told us that all her systems were shutting down. There was nothing they could do, treatment was discontinued, and 2 days after that, she passed away.

Some background - she was quite heavy and a lifelong smoker, had high blood pressure, and other medical problems. So none of us questioned the doctors that there was really nothing else that could be done because she had abused her body and health her entire life. We never dreamed the hospital and insurance company could be conspiring against us because they didn't want to keep her in intensive care. So very tragic.
