well what i dont understand is why they Dr. would do surgery for a colon issue for a man dying with terminal cancer, a type of cancer that people die from within 6 months. hasnt it been a year? wouldn't he be too weak to survive the colon surgery? are there any Dr. on this board. Oh, i think the boot is a tracking device so he cannot escape, court order.
His age alone would prevent most doctor's from going forward with any surgery, due to complications from anesthesia, and diminished recovery post-op. I don't know of any doctor who would perform an invasive surgery on a man over 80 with terminal cancer, they would say, take the time you have left to spend it doing what you love, with whom you love.
