Contemplation: When Enough is Enough
Journal Title: Acta Psychopathologica - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
We all aware of the rising health care costs and the astronomical premiums that insurance companies charge every day, even though, we as a society may be partly to blame for most of the mischief behind the chaos. A few weeks ago, I was rounding on a 92 year old kindred spirit who was diagnosed with intractable heart failure. As he expressed his wishes for no interventions, no heroic measures, I subconsciously knew this might be his last visit ever to a hospital. “It was a meaningful life,” he said smiling, “that’s why I have lived so long.”
