Porkchops

SE made bbq porkchops, smashed taters and corn for dinner. One of my buddies stopped by and ate with us. Haven't seen him for a while. We had a nice time catching up on our lives. E has had to deal with an bad situation at work this week. The family of one of the patients has gotten ugly several times and she has had to call security. They were verbally abusive and physically threatening. Her boss had mercy on her tonight and assigned her to a different team. They now call security as soon as the people show up. It is a sad situation in a way. The patient is in a coma with no hope of recovery. There was a "DNR" (do not resuscitate) order on file but the family wants every effort made to keep the patient alive (they fought the hospital on this and lost). SIGH.... I guess that is what happens to non-Christians. Believers approach death in a completely different way. For us, it is almost a relief to see the end of this life as what we have to look forward to is sooooooo much better.

I think it's rude not to respect someone's wishes. If a person has a DNR, the family needs to back off.
If I had a DNR and someone didn't honor it, I'd be waiting at the pearly gates for them just so I could pop in the nose.
