my father has liver cirrhosis.... we decided not to bring him to a very expensive hospital. its because liver cirrhosis is a chronic and irreversible illness and i think its useless spending much money that in fact medicines could only suppress the pain but not cure the illness. do u think im to rude because i think this way?? or i am right because i am just being practical....? just post your opinion

my opinion is he needs to be in a hospital getting the care he needs for as little time he has left. It is not about the money it is making sure he is comfortable. And you dont have the physicladies at home for this.I would call your rude but I would say you are not a very caring person. I am hoping some day this doesnt happen to you. They say what goes around comes around

yeah maybe because i dnt feel much to him as a father. its because i did not grow up with him. i havent even experience having a father beside me. yeah we brought him to d hospital but not to the expensive one. because i knw very much there is no cure regarding his illness
