Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008
Supersecretary asked:
This patient has advanced alzheimers and was unable to eat or drink anything anymore. He was given about six months to live last November, until the family decided to have a G tube inserted. He still knows the names of his children, but is very confused the rest of the time. He sleeps all the time. Tody he contracted aspiration pneomnia.
