The first article about the guy who died during a hip replacement surgery (?). It's terribly sad for everyone else, but when I go, that's one of the best ways I can imagine it happening. You go down optimistic for a better future where your hip is working again and just . . . never come back up. Dramatically preferable to years of battling with cancer or a gradual dip into dementia, at least for the victim. Especially if you've led a full life and are only going to be here for a short time more anyway, as is often the case with people who start breaking bones in old age. For the family, my heartfelt condolences.
- JeremyMorgan 13y agoI agree, everyone has to go and this way is preferable to suffering. My dad had some health problems, and a few close calls in his last years. In the end he fell asleep in his favorite spot in his chair watching television and didn't come back. While it was one of the most heartbreaking things in our lives, but I'm glad his final departure was peaceful and painless.
