Quoting any part of the article without the rest of it would take away from the article as a whole.
This article touched me... in ways that I can't honestly put into words. I can understand the viewpoint of the patient as she was going into this procedure. But I can also see the viewpoint of the nurses... why the anesthesiologist did what he did at that specific moment in time... and especially the doctors inner dilemma with himself.
I hope the doctor comes to terms with himself for what happened during the procedure with this patient. At the time he did what he thought was best for that patient.
If the patient was me... I'd hope that exactly what happened then... would happen for me.
I've had the c-word (cancer) scare.
