As a 74 year old retired nurse, my husband was admitted to Hospice last week. He has copd and stage 5 renal failure. I have major heart problems. I am having another heart surgery so that i will be able to care for my husband. Without the surgery i may die before him. We've both been angry and depressed. Life for us has become very complicated and difficult.
I don't think he specified exactly what kind of illness, and since more people suffer from chronic rather then terminal, I assumed the former. Besides, chronic illness will eventually kill you anyway. I'm studying medicine and I personally dont think the majority of any illness is uncurable, even cancer. There are cases of serious genetic defects, traumatic injury, extraordinary infection and outstanding lifestyle factors, but those are the minority.
You miss the point completely! In the 21st century medicine can resurrect the living dead but the talk evaluates the benefit and the reality of living without quality of life.
This is a required reading for my college course in a Psych class. I love it so much! Starting the paper on it later today. Much gratitude 🙏⭐️

Chronic illness is not unfixable. Do a Ted talk on that doc.

The stats don't support your thesis.
