These are hard questions, hope you have someone to guide you through this… note that hospital values may be different frm ours. They can say that a procedure is too risky for an old person. When questioned, they say 30% chance of failure. This is while it is clear that without the procedure the chance of failure is 100% … when posed this way, they reply, the department is not going to take this risk even if you sign off ..
Or they say quality of life will be low. ..
Can’t say whether this depends on the insurance you have
At the same time, it may not be necessary to start heroic procedures that will not really achieve anything but will be halachikally questionable to stop once started.
