Well you guys better protect that system cause where I live it's like a factory assembly line with well programmed robots herding people through without too much thought to long term outcomes. I have had good experiences only after putting in a lot of research (that too after some painful lessons). And thats an option if it's not an emergency. I have had to deal with a couple emergencies over the last couple years, where decisions had to be taken quickly. And I have seen both good and bad outcomes. The bad outcomes almost always are some guy at the ER acting as if palliative care is some unimaginable option. They frame it simplistically "We have to move patient to the OR or they will be dead in X hours/by tomorrow etc". Just because it's possible to operate doesn't mean a surgery has to happen. Especially on elderly people. It creates all kinds of cascading problems if it's a bad call. Good outcomes are possible but it needs a certain personality type and experience.
