Another sobering article. Plenty to think about for anyone whose parent(s) is/are still alive.

A physician at a hospital that I helped start a @3wishesprogram.bsky.social told me they lost a patient with a very strong Irish heritage. Per the family's request, his family was allowed to put a shot of Irish whiskey down his nasogastric tube as part of a final toast!

Yes, I can see how that would feel weird. For you and maybe for your mom, too.
I’m glad she was able to obtain what she wanted.

Thank you for your thoughts and the suggestion. I’ll ponder.

Hi, Shay. In my experience, medical folks might want to see if there might be conflicts between family members so they can be addressed before an non-revokable action. There’re other reasons, I’m sure, but that’s what comes to mind first.
My condolences to you. The death of a parent can hit hard. 💜

I love it! Isn’t it fun when you know the lingo?!
(I struggled with using the binary in creating the graphic. Please don’t feel a need to educate me, but if you want to: Would “Daughter/Son/NB” work, or should I spell out Nonbinary?)
Thank you for the RPs!

The first time I heard this term used was when I first worked in a hospital. The patient's daughter was flying in from California.
