Kek. I literally watched my dad slowly die from "esophagus cancer related symptoms", and all the time before that, he was suffering from that esophageal stricture, not able to freely eat, and suffering in starvation for literally months. He felt weak and unmotivated all the time because he just couldn't get the nutrients he needed into his system
Eventually, he died because the hospital decided to cash out his life instead of prolonging it, Because we bought him in for heart problems, which should have just gotten priority treatment as an immediately life threatening condition. But the hospital literally refused to perform the immediate life saving procedures of draining the fluid on his heart, and instead demanded a shit ton of expensive and unnecessary lab work, just to discover that he has cancer, and MAYBE JUST MAYBE THE FLUID ON HIS HEART IS RELATED TO THE CANCER, AND WE NEED TO KNOW THAT FOR SURE, BEFORE RENDING IMMEDIATELY LIFE SAVING HELP
Like, I'm not even joking, the U.S. hospital system literally just decided my dad needed to die so that they could run up all the bills on his insurance
