Read More Article When the doctor had finished the exam, I asked, “Is he receiving physical therapy?” I wondered about his contractures in his legs. The doctor looked at me and sort of laughed. "No! I am trying to convince him mom to sign a DNR order, but she won't! This is his life, this is the best he is ever going to have. This is no life for anyone. He should not have ever gotten this far."
Read More Topic I am curious about what nurses think of this personal choice. Do you want your organs donated, assuming they are viable, after your death?

Nurses now say they dont get paid enough for how hard they work and how much they have to put up with. Am I the only thats thinking like this?
