Maybe we should have a line item in the federal budget to fund a study to determine if having your head permanently wedged in your colon increases the risk for prostate or colon cancers...

You're right; there are so many variables we'd have to isolate, we'd need a bigger budget to do the study properly.

65, has cancer...will need surgery at the very least, possibly radiation and chemo.


Hmmmm.....let's see....

Surgeon's fee.....$3000
Hospital fee....$4000
Anesthesia fee...$2500

4-6 radiation/chemotherapy treatments.....$10000
Various Rx's for pain, anti-nausea, antibiotics, etc.....$1500

Various CT scans, bone scans, other diagnostic fees....$4500
Various lab fees....$1000
Various other fees.....$3500

Subsequent exams, medication, etc....$7500

Total....$37500

Upcharge for going to a top medical facility in the northeast...35%.....

Total....$57692

Estimated life span 75.

Time difference of 10ys divided into $57700 = $5770

Nope....not worth it..

Give the man a some pain pills.....36 mos to live....cut the cost down to $3000

That works.....

2 hours of doctor's time....$150

Went through that several years ago, when my other half's father was ill. Even though he had a living will....it didn't cover what happened to him. The doctor talked to us for 2 hours....and we reached a decision. It will be 7 years ago next month. He was a month short of 83 and a very very dear man. It made my heart hurt to have to make that kind of decision.

Went through that several years ago, if my added half's ancestor was ill. Even admitting he had a active will....it didn't awning what happened to him. The doctor talked to us for 2 hours....and we accomplished a decision. It will be 7 years ago next month. He was a ages abbreviate of 83 and a actual actual baby man. It fabricated my affection aching to accept to accomplish that affectionate of decision.
