If your Mom were terminally ill, would you let a doctor implant a feeding tube that would prolong suffering?

As an only child, I actually had to decide this question by myself in real life. It wasn't easy, because it was the hardest thing I ever had to do.If your Mom were terminally ill, would you let a doctor implant a feeding tube that would prolong suffering?
I feel for you. When my mother passed away after suffering a long time it was a blessingIf your Mom were terminally ill, would you let a doctor implant a feeding tube that would prolong suffering?
I feel for you. I had to decide whether to pull the plug for my mom as my step dad was a basket case and my brothers all looked to me. I found it easy enough to say enough is enough as she had gone through so much and she had told me months before that she couldn't go through another so called recovery process. Hope you feel okay, after a while. Time heals. Believe me.


God Bless.
it's the hardest decision....probably not!
I have to hope I would have tortured my Mom into giving me a living will before it ever became an issue. If it only prolonged her pain and she'd never get back to health without the tube, I'd deny its use. I love my Mom dearly, but I'd not keep her here past her time. There is a time to hang on and a time to let her go. I couldn't live with myself if she was a living vegetable just cause I refused to let her pass on.
I am so so sorry that you had to do this on your own. your mum was terminally ill and i dont think i would prolong her suffering by letting a doctor implant a feeding tube in her and deep down i dont think that your mum would want that either and i now that your mum would be so proud of you.........take care of yourself...

I am a health care provider and when one of my patients gets terribly ill I will do my best to make it better?

question to you is - when there is a lot of suffering in the word why isn't God helping and doing his best to fix it? like I do!I am a health care provider and when one of my patients gets terribly ill I will do my best to make it better?
well then you are better than god





or maybe youll get the christian answer its gods plan or some variation of that





or maybe god sent you to that sick personI am a health care provider and when one of my patients gets terribly ill I will do my best to make it better?
You can't fix all sick people, so stat acting smart like God. I am a health care provider as well, but I know I cannot help all of them even if I try.
God has given you the ability to help people. You are living proof of Gods existence. Happy and Merry whatever!!!
1.well done keep doing it ...?


2.keeping scoring the maximum points....?


3.on the day of judgement you will be rewarded as well...?


4.The plote %26amp; aim to sanding us in this world he knows well..?


5. GOD always faviours us....thanks...?
Pain and suffering are necessary for the following reasons:





http://www.godandscience.org/apologetics鈥?/a>
The bible tell us there will always be rich and poor.


Sickness and death.


Homeless.


It is our purpose in life to reach out and touch the needy.


So that we can grow in The likeness of Jesus.


With out this we would not have any thing to work toward.


We all ask this question from time to time when we are weak in out faith.
One of the attribute of Almighty God is ' the most merciful'. then the question arises why there is so much sufferings all around the world. As a health worker u might have come across some very young children suffering from deadly diseases, so one gets confused if the Almighty God is ' the merciful ' then why these little children are suffering?


If u keep in ur mind that this world is not our real home but its an transient life, after this life we will transfer to another world which is our real home, where u find ' heaven' and ' hell ' both.


Some people were in heaven enjoying themselves where as some people will be suffering in the hell.


Why is that so?


Almighty God put us on trial or test , whoever gets qualified in this trial or test will go heaven and who are not will go to hell.


Almighty God says in the holy Quran'





Truly, the life of this world is nothing but a [quick passing] enjoyment, and verily, the Hereafter that is the home that will remain forever.'; [Qur'an, 40:39]





In another chapter He says:





';And know that your possessions and your children are but a trial and that surely with Allah is a mighty reward.'; [Qur'an 8:28]





as our possessions and children are for our test so the sufferings are also a kind of test.


if people who are sufferings think that this or that disease is a test from Almighty God and he or she bears it patiently he or she will gets a reward in the hearafter.


So one should not think that Almighty God is not merciful God . He cures some people whereas he doesnt cures other and gives their reward in a best wary in hearafter.
Answer: You're more morally culpable than God.








Caveat: Unless you work for my HMO, in which case you're lying about trying to help people.
Because you don't see the big picture.





God being omnicognizant can see the big picture, so is forced into having all these infants die slow painful deaths of AIDS, malnutrition, while he has others maimed and blinded by parasites and disease.





Because he loves all of us, and only being omnipotent can not find a better way of running the world.





This requires the Christian definition of omnipotent - way more powerful than you or me - rather than the true definition - capable of doing anything and everything. Christians do not consider the consequences if their definitions of their god.








The Lord moves in mysterious ways, my daughter. Now sit down and don't ask awkward questions or you will go to hell.
Why do you assume He would?


Should God be like you?


I guess you think so.


You must be very godlike.


Or maybe God must be very youlike
Obviously God has no intention of rectifying the pain, sorrow and suffering associated with this life. If he wanted to alleviate all these problems he most assuredly could. The problem is that we judge situations and conditions based on our limited understandings. In this dispensation of time and at this point of creation natural laws prevail. This is in part the curse placed upon humanity from the beginning. This is all we know and somehow beyond our understanding all this is and will be for the glory of God. No rational explanation can explain the hurt humanity suffers. Maybe someday, in hind sight it'll all make sense.
You have not yet understood as to why He sent you down on Earth for........!!!!!!!!!!!
nature is dispassionate; the universe isn't here for our pleasure. it's a machine that operates according to the laws of phyics and nature. all forms of life have an equal right to exist, even viruses, cancers, and fundies. therefore, it's arrogant of us to assume that we are above suffering, especially considering the way we treat the rest of the natural world.
You are doing your best to alleviate the natural symtoms of earthly life for a few years. God has already done everything necessary to alleviate all suffering for all eternity for all who wish to claim it.
honey, he is, through you. He loves to do his work through people who choose to do it. Keep up the good and godly work! even if you think you are a slave to those old gods that don't really exist anyhow!
Because suffering and death and evil is all part of this big great master plan, you see... ;o)
I will admit to not fully knowing ';why';.





But if there was no pain and suffering, then how would we learn to take care of each other -- to step outside of our self-absorbed bubbles and alleviate someone else's pain? It is we who do his work here on earth; we are his hands. He could -- and I believe he does -- mercifully mitigate suffering. But sometimes he does not. It begs the question, what would you do with your calling to care for the sick if there was no need? Would you move on to another area of healing and then rail at God for not fixing that, too? He *is* fixing things; one of the ways is through your hands and those of others like you. The problem is there aren't enough of you to go around.
he who has done some wrong misdeeds in this life or ex-life has to payback in some way. God knows what is Right !!

I'm ill...who will bring me some chicken soup and a cuppa?

Or is there something else that you can think of that will make me feel better?I'm ill...who will bring me some chicken soup and a cuppa?
Oh lordy i missed this, im sorry hunny, ill bring you anything you want with a huge hug and a kiss, snuggled up together, rubbing your cold feet, with the smell of the warm soup on the stove filling the house, with a box of tissues for your sniffly nose, bless.I'm ill...who will bring me some chicken soup and a cuppa?
sorry about that =(

I will, and I will bring the Vic to rub on your chest

Ha ha..





I'm terribly sorry, you are so ill. How about you A) get up and make yourself some or B) ask a friend/neighbor.





Get Well, soon!

If i take 5ml of Penicillin 2 hours after eating cream will it curdal with it and make me ill?

This is highly unlikely. It helps to have a little food with your medications and after two hours the ice cream usually passes from your stomach into your intestines. Be careful if you are on birth control though some antibiotics can reduce their effectiveness.





You should be fine!If i take 5ml of Penicillin 2 hours after eating cream will it curdal with it and make me ill?
LOL no it won't. Dont' be daft.If i take 5ml of Penicillin 2 hours after eating cream will it curdal with it and make me ill?
wtf.. no.. are you for real!!!!

Help....I just ate a packet of ham that was out of date by about 3 weeks, will I be ill?what should I do?

I just made myself some sandwiches from ham that went off on the 27th of december, stupidly I didn't realise until I ate the whole packet of ham in four sandwiches!


How ill am I going to be? is there anything I can do to prevent myself from becoming ill? The ham tasted fine though, a little bit dry, but O,K except that....Help....I just ate a packet of ham that was out of date by about 3 weeks, will I be ill?what should I do?
whats going to happen is you are going to get the raving trots, you may be lucky and nothing happens but if you start being sick as well you may have got food poisening from it, just remember to drink loads of fluids even if you sick it back up, it will stop you getting dehydrated, all you can really do is ride it out if it gets too bad see your doctor, just remember to check the dates on food in future, hope everything works out.Help....I just ate a packet of ham that was out of date by about 3 weeks, will I be ill?what should I do?
if you get nauseted and start with stomach cramps try vomitting to get rid of it.....if it tasted fine then you should be okay.. there is a lot of nitrates in that stuff and some of it lasts way past the expiry date.... if you are worried, use your finger to bring it up and out....
Learn to read.
I agree with the other comments, aslong as you didnt see any mould etc then the worst that could happen is a case of the runs. I would just drink plenty of water to flush you out just in case it turns your stomach.





X
Wait and see
If anything i think you might get a little sick or the squirts. Hopefully thats all.
Dont panic, yr be fine. A touch of the doggy bits. But thats about it. Peace love n Rainbows.
You'll be fine! It unlikely you'll be ill from doing that. Best before dates are usually a guide. Don't worry about it.
You shouldn't have pigged-out
Lifes a ***** aint it if we dont hear from you again poof its all over.Seriously dont worry about it Prior to introduction of date stamping which is only after all a recomendation the food industry went years without such information.Then think some of the filthy food you eat when having a takeaway smothered with sauces so you cannot detect the 3 month out of date meat.
I did this same thing yesterday, seriously. I'm fine. As long as there was no mold or anything on the ham, you should be fine.
yes be sick... to late... yuk
If the packet wasn't unopened before-hand, I am sure that it would have been fine to eat as exposition to the air was minimal. If it tasted funny or smelt bad, then it would most likely mean it had gone off. But if you didn't notice this, it may not cause you any harm.
You will probably be sick if you ate them that far out of date, if you are sick, try and have some milk of magnesia, this worked wounders for me when i had a bad curry. it settles you stomach!
Pork that is undercooked or past its used by date may contain tapeworm eggs. I suggest you get some worming tablets.
you should be fine, ham has loads of preseveratives.
You should be fine. But if your not, you will probably only get food poisoning.
you are probably fine...ham usually smells bad....the expiration date usually gives you a couple of weeks in there...most of the time those dates are for stores...itis illegal for them to sell the product after that date...
I imagine the worst that could happen is you will get a dose of 'the runs'! X

If a mentally ill person is released from an institution or jail, how do you know he will not reoffend?

No more than you know if anyone will reoffend; but every sentence has a finite life. If a mentally ill person is released from an institution or jail, how do you know he will not reoffend?
You don't know, but an institution usually does not release someone until they are stable. Jail is another whole different story as they are not physicians. One thing you need to know though is most mentally ill people are not dangerous in the slightest. That is a misconception. Most people with mental illness do very well on medication. The biggest problem is they have a pretty high risk of going off there meds, especially if a family member does not Monitor this.If a mentally ill person is released from an institution or jail, how do you know he will not reoffend?
There is no way to know. Just like there is no way to know whether a non-mentally ill prisoner will re-offend. But studies have found that recidivism rates (rates of re-offending) are about the same for the mentally ill/insane and the regulare prison population.
You don't.


It's practically the same as wondering if that perfectly sane person next door will suddenly commit the unthinkable.


Sick people can heal; ';normal'; people can quickly become sick.
you can't know, you won't know. All you can do is hope they are getting treatment so it dosnt happen again. Its the same as anyone being released from prison or state programs.
Buy a 649 lotto ticket. if you don't win on the 649 lottery you will hav better chance a winning the ';beng another victim of stupid policy policy'; award..
The same way you know that a person who is not mentally ill is not going to re-offend. You can never know.





Good Luck
you don't, you just have to have hope they wont do it again.
You don't.
You don't know.

  • If im going to be a software developer will that mean ill know somewhat how to make apps for ipodphone etc.?

    im asking this cause i heard that software developers have to a code that ipodphone uses so they can know how to make apps etc. i dont get it what does that meanIf im going to be a software developer will that mean ill know somewhat how to make apps for ipodphone etc.?
    If you are a software developer you will almost definitely learn the basics of computer hardware and programming.





    Any platform, like iphone, facebook, windows, have special unique interfaces with programming, but they almost all use a programming language like java, C++, or something similar. This means you will have an edge.





    Also, Apple, the maker of iPhone freely gives away a programming package that includes almost everything you need to make apps for iPhone. All you need is programming knowledge and the patience to do quite a bit of reading and figure out the rest.





    Google iphone SDK and you'll find tons of info on this.
