That 302 was horrible & my H yelled at me for it bec it was so unexpected...& I was not a cooperative patient bec I knew I was not really being listened to.
I found a lump in my breast last yr & so wanted it to be cancer. Didn't even tell my SO that I was having a biopsy. I don't wanto be forced to do things based on other family members.
My kids would be ok. I'm not saying fine, but ok & if it was something terminal, which it wasn't, I should be allowed to handle my own health. Honestly I don't see that happening unless I'd keep things quiet.
Now if I had something that was terminal would I be allowed to refuse treatment? Is this considered a type of suicide? I think it starts a slippery slope on the issue of assisted suicide.

You don’t have to go to the doctor and do tests, or get treatment for physical illnesses, if you don’t want to.
My father ‘smoked himself to death’, chain smoking 4 packs a day. But, he didn’t die of lung cancer. It was pancreatic.
My step father eats Burger King every day. He doesn’t care how much he gains. Yet, he is alive and has lived remarkably long.
It
is a slippery slope of where the line is drawn here. My mom screamed at both of them, “You’re killing yourself!” But, I’m not sure they were/are. They just didn’t care and wanted to do the unhealthy thing they wanted to do...or did they?
