I wouldnt really mind either way. Why do you need the doctor to be there? How would that change anything? You’re still going to die, why waste the doctors time

  Because dying tends to be a process, certainly if I was about to drop dead I might not care, but generally I would want to know about any pain treatment, changes in my meds, explain the process of dying to me. I would want to hear it from a specialist.

  Maybe you haven't been in a position where you're days away from death, but most people would probably want to have that devastating news delivered to them by a real person who is present with them. It's not a rational thing. Of course it changes nothing, apart from the fact they might feel better having the doctor there instead of receiving it through a crappy matte screen with tinny speakers. If you still can't understand that, perhaps you can't empathize with most people.
