A lucid older man told me he wanted to die, tonight. It left me speechless. I had no words of comfort for him. As a patient, I let him down. I'm sorry, Richard.

I had a patient years ago who did that. We spend the day getting her set up on comfort care, and her entire family came in to see her.
The next morning, I went in and woke her up. Her eyes got big, then she looked cross and sat up.
"Why the HELL am I still alive?"
