Here again, and no surprise to those on this board, doctors typically treat patients very differently from how they themselves choose to be treated, and are NOT fully transparent about the effects of expensive, harsh, and harmful treatments they prescribe to patients. The article doesn't mention this, but given that so many doctors avoid such treatments themselves, they aren't being fully transparent with patients about the efficacy and likely outcome of such treatments either.

'[That's why] what doctors want to do at the end of their lives is revealing.'
Chris claimed that 'most doctors value the quality of their life' more than its 'length,' and don't want to endure some of the negative side effects that come with life-saving treatments.
For example, chemotherapy for older patients can be incredibly taxing and arduous,' he wrote.
'It can cause nausea, vomiting, depression, mouth sores, sore muscles, and brain fog. It can also weaken the heart and damage the kidneys. Chemo can make one’s last days unbearably painful.
'[Doctors] eschew the harsh treatments (such as surgeries, radiation, and chemotherapy) they regularly hand out to their older patients.
'Typically, they will stop treatment, refuse CPR, take painkillers as appropriate, and be surrounded by loved ones at home.
'They have fewer aggressive interventions, suffer less, and take advantage of palliative care, including hospice.
'What's unusual about doctors is not how much treatment they get compared with most Americans - but how little.'
Chris pointed to a 2014 survey conducted by Stanford University that found 'nearly nine in 10 doctors said they would choose a do-not-resuscitate (DNS) status when dying.'
'Yet often, doctors do not offer that option to their patients,' he added.
Dr. Sunita Puri, the program director at the Hospice and Palliative Medicine Fellowship at the UMass Chan School of Medicine, echoed his sentiments.
'Most physicians I knew noticed the irony inherent in our offering patients intubations, CPR, tracheostomies, dialysis, and so on, when many of us wouldn't choose such interventions for ourselves in their circumstances,' she told him.
This could also be a factor of rabid loved ones desperate to squeeze a few more years out of their dying relatives... Doctors would be hard-pressed to say "nah, just take them home, it's their time", plus that makes them less money
There's a difference between stopping treatment and letting nature take its course vs. actively smothering grandma with a pillow. Canada is at the pillow stage.
Canada has government-funded health care, and legal MAiD. So of course the government is interested in cost-cutting, and dead people don't cost anything. The government doctors here push MAiD on the unwilling and twist peoples' arms to kill grandma. In the US, it will probably be pushed by the insurance companies to limit payouts.
Yeah Canada is really spear-heading the NWO in the West, just like its "Crown". How can a nation be so close to America and not learn the lessons we did in the 1700s?! 😞
I want to go out like my Grandfather. Sitting in his favorite chair with a set of his wife’s rosary beads (he was not a religious person so everyone was happily surprised to see the rosary beads). Know one knew that he might have been sick but he died with a smile on his face and at home
I want to go out peacefully in my sleep, like my dear old Granddad. Not screaming in terror like the passengers in his car.

The doctors would be sued out of existence for malpractice if they did not do "everything they could". You know it, I know it, everyone knows it, particularly the doctors.
Only if they do what the drug lords want them to do to bring in the big money from the horrific treatments!
Not if they fully informed the patient and then got signed releases stating that the patient wanted X instead of the standard insanely expensive, not very effective, quality-of-life ruining Big Pharma/Big Medical approved course.
You know the lawyers will pull some bs and say the patients didn’t know better and relied on doctors expertise. If they don’t do what their peers are doing then they are committing malpractice. Pretty much in the eyes of the law.
Got a friend who has cancer on his nose. One doctor wanted to cut off the nose. Another has a treatment that's been 95 percent successful on basal cell cancer.
There is a mythical state, enforced mainly in USA but also other countries, called the "Gold Standard of treatment". This is influenced largely by politicians, drug and technology businesses and a few Academic doctors.
Various techniques and drugs are expected to be used on patients and if not used the doctors and hospitals concerned can be severely punished, including jail sentences and loss of licenses to practice. There may be some evidence of efficacy but many have no good basis for use.
Good point. That "Gold Standard" indeed is one of the tools used to coerce expensive treatments; doctors are both pressured and bribed to supply them, and patients are conned, cowed, and terrorized into accepting them.
