Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, outlines the stages of death in her book called, On Death and Dying. The five stages experienced by a dying person are denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
The girls were executing every play to perfection. We won the game, silencing a team of seniors who had taunted us for weeks before the game. Almost sweeter than our decisive win, I realized, was the fact that we were celebrating our win as a group of close friends, many of whom we had just made a few short months
The nurse took me to the back room and asked me to describe my symptoms once again. I could tell by her facial expression she was very concerned. I don’t know why but I brought up my family history of polycystic kidney disease. After telling her this, she said that she needed to see where the bleeding was coming from and needed to insert a syringe in my bladder to make sure that it contained urine. Unfortunately my bladder was full of blood.
The doctors and nurses had told me that I’d have to get the two legs amputated in the coming days. This was when my depression began. I still had hope that all would be okay, but the doctors showed no sign of it. I was to lose both my legs. I could live the rest of my life feeling depressed and worthless.
The physician did perform an exploratory laparotomy on her for a small bowel obstruction after the patient came in complaining of severe abdominal pain. Second, the patient has to prove that the physician was derelict. This means the patient has to prove that the physician failed to comply with standards of a physician. The physician left a sponge in her abdominal area which they later say is not the cause of her death but it caused severe abdominal pain and her and her husband kept reporting the pain to the nurses and morphine was kept given. If the patient didn’t die from heart failure first then she would had complications persisting from the sponge left in her body.
Laskowski-Jones described an accident that her mother died at the scene and critically injured her father. Her father being brought to the hospital where she was employed, Laskowski-Jones was given the opportunity to see her father in the operating room just before being put under anesthesia. He was awake; Laskowski-Jones was able to express how much she loved him and not to worry. These would be that last words they spoke. Laskowski-Jones (2007) stated “I’m sure both my position in the hospital and my education as a trauma nurse allowed me a rare privilege that isn’t typically offered to families” (p. 47).
Tears spilled from my eyes as I raced towards my sister, my heart pounding. I knelt down beside her and immediately started unbuckling the shackles. Act first, ask questions later was my motto. Ava got to her feet, but fell instantly into my arms. She was weak and injured and we needed to get her to a hospital.
He proceeded to tell me what happened, I was in a little bit of shock, but kept my feelings to myself so he couldn’t see me cry. Afterwards, I went into see my mother, she looked extremely mad to have the tubes back down her throat. It’s crazy how people can show emotion being sedated. I took her hand, started talking to her telling her everything was going to be all right and I was always going to be there for her no matter what. She squeezed my hand so I know she heard me.
My eyes popped out and my jaw dropped. I relive the nightmare in a matter of seconds and it all comes back to me. I slump back into my bed from being sat up. I immediately feel scorching hot and begin sweating prothusely. The Nurse asked what was wrong.
For many people the main concern with assisted suicide goes with the competence of the sick patients. Many of the ones that are in the final stages of their lives have requested doctors to help them in exercising active euthanasia. It is sad to realize that these people are about to die and that to them the only hope they got is through assisted suicide in order to end their suffering. But the thing that really matters is what they want for themselves, if they want to end with their lives because there is nothing else to be done and they don’t want to suffer more than they should have the right to commit suicide since that’s what they want for their lives. The most important thing that everyone should think about is dying happy, maybe all of the people that have committed assisted suicide, left this world feeling better since they don’t have to suffer more.
