Sorry to hear of your condition and I wish you a full recovery. I don't want to sound arrogant either nor do I wish to take anything from you. I gave it an extra thought and, for me, it may also be the system that's at fault. When he died they (the hospital) made me gather at least 5 liters of blood donated (friends, family etc) otherwise they won't help him. I also had to buy even the syringes and other super-basic stuff because "they were out". I probably lost my trust in the medical system we have here and I'm simply horrified at the idea of having to rely on it.

Wow... just... wow. That sounds horrible and I can't imagine having to go through that. No, I haven't lived that and in my case the medical staff (nurses specially, but even normal hospital staff) always went above and beyond their duty. Do you mind if I ask what country was this in? It might be because I'm specially sensitive, but any system that allows that to happen to terminal patients and their families is definitely broken.
