*** Hello Marvin,
so glad yo hear.
>
> I have a friend who has MS.
> He can no longer walk.
> He can not feed , bath, or dress himself.
> He can not hold a book to read.
> He has lost the will to try.
> Today he collapsed over lunch.
> His nurse called the ambulance and
> they restarted his breathing and got
> him going again. He was angry because they
> had brought him back.
> He can not give voice to his feelings.
> So I want to try to do it for him
*** Sure - I understand you friend was angry, BUT in my oppinion the nurse
did the right - to send for an ambulance- because she is not the one who
can decide whom to live or die !!!!!!!!!
