there is little point in having $$$$ if you can not use it helping out your sick mother in law. remember also every $ you give you get back many times over:)

agree to a point, but what about when the money you give digs into what u have to live on and support ur self in ur old agetarariverboat wrote:there is little point in having $$$$ if you can not use it helping out your sick mother in law. remember also every $ you give you get back many times over:)
only so much would come back if they live on the edge already
They have land, they have a house, they have an income

How urgent is the treatment?
Is hospitalization really needed, or just more convenient?
What are the expectations after treatment? 20 more healthy years, or....?
What effort did ma make herself before coming to you (or your GF / wife coming to you) and ask to step in?
And probably a dozen more questions.
Only after you have the answers to those, it makes sense to decide on how much, how long. But no matter what, the decision will always be tough to make.

Are you ready to go and put a pillow over her face?
If not then keep paying, because it's effectively the same choice.

Bs; and overly simplified, killing someone is NOT the same as allowing them to die
My mother had Cancer, DRs advised her to go for Chemo to get a few more years which she refused as her Aunt spent the last 10 years of her life in hospital dying slowly and her sister died in one all shriveled up from cancer, Mom died in her own bed with all her senses, 2 months after being diagnosed.
Cambodians and Asian in general, believe in the drs and pills, How many Khmers have u know that go to the hospital and stay for what we would deal with at home
Point of fact, where i am coming from
When i get sick and cant take care of myself i will not allow myself to be placed in a hospital, and for me, waste money to prolong my life and hence i find it hard to do it for someone else's
You can all be self righteous, moral and take the high road and say pay pay pay, but when it goes against ur belief's its tough

Sorry, what was your question again?Phuket2006 wrote: You can all be self righteous, moral and take the high road and say pay pay pay, but when it goes against ur belief's its tough
Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.
Paying for hospital treatment for a person who wants it goes against your beliefs because you think she'd be better off dead? That's fucked up dude. And wtf does your mother refusing treatment have to do with this? Should all ill people just refuse treatment simply because your mum did? And if they don't refuse then we just refuse to pay for it due to our beliefs? Wtf.Phuket2006 wrote:You can all be self righteous, moral and take the high road and say pay pay pay, but when it goes against ur belief's its tough
One good way to approach this would be to check any proposed procedures and/or medications against what is sanctioned by NICE in the UK.

In the eyes of the law it's different. But this question isn't about the law, it's about a decision that you are going to have to reconcile with in your own mind. The fact is that her life is in your hands, you get to decide if she lives or dies. I don't envy you, that's a call no one wants to make. I just used the pillow case question so you can face this for what it really is rather than try and convince yourself that it's something else because that mental facade will fall apart once she's at the point of no return and it's too late for you to change your mind.Phuket2006 wrote:Bs; and overly simplified, killing someone is NOT the same as allowing them to die

Depends on the hospital and the treatment, I suppose.
For example, a Calmette ward is going to be hundreds of times cheaper than Royal Rattanak.
Aren't you in Thailand - they don't have state hospitals there?
If it was a terminal illness and the woman was elderly, probably best to focus on palliative care rather than throw good money after bad.

Actually that's not true.
