Hospital Grants Dying Patient’s Last Wish For Wine, Cigarette – Good News Network

I’ve always been puzzled by restrictions placed on terminal patients in hospitals, nursing homes, and other similar venues. It seems so inconsequential – and as we see here, potentially even a final gift – to allow the dying their vices on the way out. When my time comes, a little coffee vodka, please, or if available perhaps some Advocaat. Smile

    I should have known that this didn’t happen in this country….I’ve even heard of cases where an American doctor wouldn’t allow painkillers to terminally ill patients because they ‘might get addicted’

    Advocaat sounds delicious and worthy of a “last drink”. Thanks for introducing us to it. Leo.
