Maybe now it’s not with the spread of bacteria because we’ve learned to wash our hands and sterilize our equipment but something even more subtle: the transmission of negative energy.
There have been studies done on the healing power of love. Not the new age type, or even the airy fairy angel type. But rather the type that has volunteers in to hold preemie babies who then thrive in larger numbers than their unheld neighbors. With all the research being done on mind-body interactions, observer effect, and the power of prayer, how big a leap do we have to take before we understand that there exists something in the unseen areas of healing that we’ve yet to identify and therefore acknowledge.

Over the years, I’ve asked the best nurses what they think about mercy killing. None of them would be willing to do it on a patient she didn’t care about. It’s not worth the risk. I’ve heard good nurses say, “Oh, I could do it. But only for my mother, father, or my child.” And then they add, “Or maybe someone I loved.” Unless there’s that kind of emotional investment, few people are willing to handle the guilt because a GORK lives immortally on… in your own brain. A terminal patient’s stopped screams stay in your own bone marrow. You can’t be sure if you’d do something like that.You’re never completely sure.

“If I refuse all treatment” Yves asked, “how long will it be before I die?”
I stood there thinking how unlike the movies this was. Yves eyes were fixed on me and I was afraid. How could I tell him he had less than two weeks to live?
I believed he had the right to know; a right to do what he wanted with his own life. But I didn’t want to be the one to tell him and I knew the doctor never would.
