E-Mail 'The Survivalist's Odds 'n Sods:' To A Friend

1. Regarding “Health”, nothing new, hospitals like doctors who do not want someone dying on their watch due to the attached stigma will try and send the patient to another hospital or send them home. Another reason for hospice home care. While this route is not easy, emotionally, time wise, for the caregiver it gives some dignity to the palliative patient and emphasizes basic family values.

   Parallel this with home schooling, self reliance, etc..

2. I know of a couple of instances lately where hospitals concluded that a patient had less than a 50% chance of survival, so attempted to send them to hospice and provide no treatment other than perhaps pain medication. It appears that even a 45% chance of survival is a death sentence. That’s what you get when you apply only cold statistics.
