Evan-
I really liked your idea Evan. It was very well thought out and interesting to hear about somebody who deals with illness everyday's point of view. I think that the way the doctor is portrayed is all depending on the point of view. Of course a doctor wont think that they give false hope but somebody who criticizes doctors might. Theres usual bias behind everything. In a way I noticed that she doesn't lie or give false hope but doesn't exactly tell the whole truth which i found interesting.

I really enjoyed reading your piece. It's joyful to hear that you cousin is still living his life even with this horrible disease. I had no idea that the life expectancy was as short as it was. I agree with when you said "When you get a exact knowledge of how long you have to live, it affects the way that you can spend that time." This is very true in my opinion and reminds me of that question, if you had a day to live what would you do.

Your topic related perfectly back to the unit. Also while I was reading it I learned some new things that interested me. Particularly about the girl who didn't get the liver transplant. I've had numbers of discussions and arguments about this with some friends and I agree that this is wrong. If that man who denied her health care sold his soul then, I'm sure he has done it hundreds of thousands of times more.

I thought that this was a very nice story you told. "Life is a series of moments flashing bye but before you know it those memories fade and stories come to a close." I have thought that over so many times and it scares me a little every time I think about it. It kind of actually gives me a bit of relief to know somebody thinks the same way. I can relate to this post a lot and I really enjoyed reading it.
