People have been given shorter times to live. My brother nearly died overnight, from being discovered unconscious from kidney failure. He barely survived. You have to realize that a medical trauma guesstimate is not a guarantee. It could be 3. It could be 6.

I don't know where the total lack of compassion comes from. I've noticed on this page that when some God-awful disaster happens to someone, the rapid reaction is "Aw, this is fake. It's not real. It's not happening."---and therefore we don't need to entertain any human feeling for someone in misery. Not everything is a lie.
