Did not work for me - or anyone I know. I think it just another insurance ploy to milk more money before they approve a replacement. YMMV.
Alot of this goes on..
Then your ancient
On 14 day protocol on life support.
Do a "test " pull on the vent at day 10.
X amount of time for your vitals to hit low double and single digits.
Then the nurse comes in under the pretext of comfort care all explained to relatives before in person and a " nice" little booklet so you dont see possible death throes is how it is all presented.
She puts a 50cc shot of comfort care morphine in the IV line and within in 2 mins or less it is done.
The medicaid or medicare system money making protocols for treatments and procedures have reached the end of the list.
Time for you to go and free up a bed for the next cash cow stepping off the money making stage.
The nurse of death has the "comfort care" coup de grace shot.
A family member tells her the vitals have reached a level to come and get her at the station while she is killing time on her smart phone while family spends that vitals are going downward time with their relative.
It all seems pretty planned and morbid, set up to milk benjamins as long as possible.
BTDT seen it.
Of course YMMV based on perception......
