Angels of Death?

We NEVER agreed to have my father in palliative care. He had infections and chronic conditions that were treatable and survivable. Palliative and hospice care give up on the prospect of survival. Dad was diabetic. You can live with diabetes if you manage it. He had COPD but did fine on oxygen, which he basically only used at night. Dad had contracted three infections under Vanderbilt's care or lack thereof, but he had numerous infections over his ninety years and always bounced back after his antibiotic treatment. My father's advance directive was for life, and what we and he were pleading for was to honor those wishes. I will never forgive Vanderbilt for the medical murder of Seymour Goodman.
