They wanted to know what would I do after he got out of the hospital. Who would care for him?

He opted to die instead.

As the old saying goes, "With friends like this, who needs enemies?".

Not me, that's for sure!

And to think I was going to name these people as my power of attorney for healthcare? Glad I know now before I proceeded to do so.

They suffer from a disease called greed and brain rot. I'm not sure which is worse, but I'm leaning towards GREED.

What a huge disappointment!
