It has been said we spend more medical Dollars in the last months of life than the rest of life. Is it because our society wants—we want—to do something? To apply technology even to death? What if we shifted some of our thinking from technology to the wet washcloth? From doing something that mechanizes the flow of life to applying the human touch? Cool the brow, brush back the hair, converse?

More people on hospice as compared with people not on hospice live to 1 year and 2 years after diagnosis. Live longer with less aggressive more kindly caring. What does this say about medicine and particularly the pushy way we want it practiced?

I am less distracted now than when I first sat down here. I want to sit here and meditate/contemplate for awhile before I jump up for some other things. That will be good for the day….
