Oh no..Twice in one year, I find myself in the somewhat uncomfortable
position of agreeing with Larry Jaques on a political issue. I really
doubt that anyone is bent out of shape about the idea of a living
will / advance directive. They're bent out of shape by this fantasy
that Palin and her cronies have come up with, solely to derail the
conversation about health care reform.

They don't give a **** about the tens of thousands of bankruptcies
caused by healthcare costs run amuck. They don't care that my
insurance premiums go up every year, and my services go down. And they
certainly don't care about "grandma" getting her plug pulled. If they
did, they'd be encouraging people to read this pamphlet (or one like
it, which I picked up at my local hospital's web site) and talk about
their futures and fill out the ****ing forms.

If grandma wants her heart to be kept alive in a vat filled with a
special solution (half blood, half sodium salicylate) [ten points for
anyone who can 'name that tune'], she can put that in he living will.
If she wants CPR but not defibrillation, she can write that down, too.

Sure, it may be an uncomfortable conversation, but think about the
**** that "grandma" would put her family through trying to guess what
she would have wanted. Been there, done that, wasn't fun.

My papers (and my wife's) are filled out and on file with our doctors,
our hospital, and our next of kin. Yours should be, too.

That time is already here. The scale keeps sliding, but the present
has become the past and current events have become history. Same as it
ever was.
