sickness vs patient

Sad to say that in almost all the cases that both of the healthcare system and the doctors are treating the sickness not the people.

They will try everything, every way to resuscitate, prolong the patient's life. Even, the patient may need to lose a limb, eyesight, hearing, or in some cases the patient won't be to feed themselves in the natural way, or breath on their own etc.

Which is nothing very wrong with it.

But if someone has to live the rest of their lives, relying on others' help, on Intensive Care Unit Equipment, like breathing machine, nasogastric tube, urinary catheter, or feces catheter and so on. 

Or lose the function of talking, seeing, hearing, thinking, walking and the like.

They are fed, cleaned and cared.

I mean what about the patients' own will, dignity, or quality of their lives.

It is a suffering to see someone, especially, your love one to kind of alive like so.

prayer request

Around three weeks ago, a friend of mine, her family decide not to have any further treatment for her and have an in-home hospice instead.

Thy Will, Not Mine.
