My dad thought this way, too. He resisted going to the hospital when there was something wrong with his heart. If he had gone at the first sign of serious trouble, he’d probably still be alive. Instead, he went into cardiac arrest, my mother panicked and gave him CPR while someone called 911, and my dad went through multiple surgeries and weeks of life support before dying with a bill over a million dollars.
So if you really, really don’t want medical intervention, make certain your friends and family will respect your wishes.
I wish my dad had just gone to the hospital as soon as he knew there was a problem instead of trying to be a financial hero.
- annoyingnoob 5y agoI'm willing to see a doctor, just not at the hospital. Lucky for me my wife is a Nurse Practitioner, I get lots of free advice (though I still go to the office when I need drugs/labs/etc).
