Did anyone watch this show last night?
The chap at the very end of the show who had a problem with his bowel and the surgeon didn't think he'd be able to wake up from the operation, so they 'made him comfortable' and left him to die.
This chap had been on the Normandy beaches during the second world war, fighting for our country, and the best we can do for him is to make him comfortable?
Please, was it not worth trying to save his life? If someone told me, god forbid, that one of my grandparents were very ill and if we operate there's a chance they'll live, but they may not wake up from the operation, but if we do nothing then they will pass away? I'm sure I'd take the chance of a few more years, (though would I not want to be there when they passed away and not the other side of the wall to the operating theatre????........owch, my head hurts.)
Anyway, I just had this vision of the old fella last night about to board his boat to Normandy, saying "you know what, there's a chance we'll loose this war, so I'm not going!'
