On Thursday October 11, 2012 guest speaker Larry Hirsch presented a lecture of his parent’s survivor story as holocaust survivors. Many would have believed that Larry would have spoken of sadness and death surrounding his parent. Instead, he spoke of how their lives came to be, beginning with his mother because she had deceased at a young age. Larry then spoke in detail of his father and all of the accomplishments he had made with his wife. Their story was very touching and could make a believer out of anyone that no matter what struggle you face in life you can still succeed.
She talked about what a smart and out spoken man her father was, and a person that her family had always looked up to, she saw the life and the goodness that her father had in him starting to fade away at the end. It got to a point where he could not read or even do something that he likes doing and that was cross word puzzles. Susan went threw a lot of medical treatment that with her father that I would have done to. That is one out of a million people that stuck by her father the way she did. In 2002 her father was diagnosed with metastic head and neck cancer.

At times, they don’t want seriously ill patients to feel miserable about their conditions.
Ann looks after her father Angus who is 79 and has Parkinson’s disease, Ann lives with her father along with her husband Bob and daughter Zoe. I believe caring for a family member comes with many difficulties; to start with it isn’t something a lot of people ‘choose’. It’s something they feel they have to do, a sense of expectation and duty. Ann promised her mother on her deathbed that she would look after Angus and now
She wanted to spend what ever time she had left with her family. This is a case that Quill took very personal because he wrote of Diane’s personal struggles in her life that she had overcome in the eight years that he had come to know her. When the time came, when Diane was no longer in control of her life she wanted to take her life in the least painful was as possible. Quill acknowledged and explored this wish but also thought that it was out of the realm of currently accepted medical practice and that it was more than he could offer or promise (692). The other reason that I thought Quills main audience were doctors is that he used medical term that were not clear as a general audience.
