...nothing wrong here...people die...my patient of 12 years passed away...he'd been a friend for almost as long as I took care of him...he and his family were like a second family to me...he was paralyzed from the shoulders down...a diving accident at the age of 22...he'd also lost his ability to talk...for 5 years he didn't eat...when given the choice by his doctors to talk or eat again...he chose eating...he communicated with Morse Code and a computer...he told us he chose eating because...as he explained it... even when he could talk...he never had much to say...he's been dead 16 months now...I will always write about him somewhere...
