So I’m not from the USA and have heard the argument that she’s suspicious because she’s out of district a couple of times. So why is that bad? (I have no clue about american politics so I hope the question isn’t dumb)

So as a doctor working in an intensive care unit, we even know we’re the baddies sometimes. We’ve had people quit over that. Pretty hard to fight the system and take people off of live support. I’m in Austria and the laws are pretty different here. Best thing we can do if we think a patient isn’t benefiting from more life prolonging interventions is to do an “ethic council”. There a bunch of different doctors who don’t work at the same unit and a lawyer get together and decide what to do. Still we had some people rotting to death in our unit. Also people on life support where we knew we could never get them out of intensive care and just prolonging their suffering. In the end some kind of infection will take them. But we’re just prolonging their suffering and their families suffering who are trusting us. Horrible situation all around. And the thing is we do that because the surgeon in charge doesn’t want them to die because then the surgery will be considered failed In statistics. So we keep them alive for 30 days… I’m still in training so can’t really change the system just make people as comfortable as possible with painmedication and sedation until they’re allowed to die. (Usually after 30 days so the surgery is seen as successful)
Ok, that’s understandable! Thanks for the explanation.
