Dying in America

Read this important article in the New Yorker. I'm gonna make an appt w/my family doctor to talk about these end-of-life matters while I'm still relatively healthy.

Two-thirds of patients undergo treatments they don't want -- for me that would be dialysis -- due to family pressure.

Meantime I shall be a hedonist to the end, ah, remember that little girl that was me sitting on the porch steps at Uncle Marv's, reading, away from my noisy family, just sitting quietly on the steps reading the great Russian novels.
