  14. Assisted Suicide

    hogan4736 replied to ninas's topic in General Nursing

    oh, and carrying a low opinion of someone (even facing one's own impending death) who chooses to end it all, is a judgemental, and a self-serving way to see the world... Live and let live is what we...

    hogan4736 replied to IowaCindy's topic in General Nursing

    Arizona taxpayers payed out 30 million dollars to hospitals for care delivered to mostly (arguably) illegal immigrant health care (from emergency room visits only)... Is this a problem? YES Are there...
