Yeah, terrible quality of care from the hospital. I don't know how they would miss a UTI, should be one of the things tested when complaining with those symptoms. I mean, in the process of determining it to be kidney stones, wouldn't they have discovered it was in fact a UTI?
Terrible.

Even if she survived, who would want to live like that? No kidneys means a lifetime of dialysis + no hands or feet. Poor gal is better off dead.
I like your spirit, we should euthanize all amputees and handicapped. :thumbsup:
While compuwiz shouldn't have gone so far as to say she is 'better off dead', I'd feel the same way in such a situation.
If I cannot live by my own means, I don't want to live. I'm extremely old fashioned when it comes to my health. If I have to live by means of a machine and don't have the same control over my life due to amputations and artificial limbs... I wouldn't want that life. If I woke up one day like that, sure I wouldn't go and off myself, but I'd be miserable, especially since everything I want to do in life requires a self-supporting body.
I'd hate to tell family members it, but if I was going in for treatment of such nature, I'd say just make me comfortable and let me go instead of hacking me up inside and out.
I don't want to live a life of reliance on artificial equipment, or on others for that matter. If I cannot take care of myself in every situation, I'd feel like a worthless human being. In nature I'd die, so in life I should die.
I won't wish that upon others, and everyone has a different attitude towards life. Just explaining how I can see compu's reasoning, as it is basically the same as mine.
