I got a text from my cleaner, her elderly farther (80's) has health issues but lives at home with his wife. My cleaner helps care for them but I get the impression they are 'ok'. He had a call from the doctor and to explain his 'end of life care', basically saying if he gets Coronavirus, or anything else for that matter, over the coming months they will not admit him to hospital and they have asked them to sign an agreement that he will me 'made comfortable' but not resuscitated.
Is this a thing that's being done?? Have I got the wrong end of the stick and it's just something they would be done anyway? Can't stop thinking about it, just seems so wrong.
