So sorry about your mom, and especially the way she was treated. She deserved much better. It irks me too that many doctors and staff have the attitude that if you have LC, you're terminal, so let's get on with preparing for the death. When my wife contracted pneumonia last August, there were staff who were ready to put her in hospice care. She showed them! I guess we have to continually educate these people and bring them into the 21st century. My heartfelt sympathies on your loss. Don
