Hi Morgana,
Unfortunately that was exactly the way it played out. He tied our hands and kept us from doing any of the numerous things we could have done to save his life. His wife was too grief stricken to the point of being shockey to say anything let along try to contradict the doctor's order. All she could do was sit there hold his hand and weep for her partner of so many years. It was heart rending and totally frustrating.
