Maybe 4.25 days. I don't know. It depends on you all.
There should be a delay, but two weeks plus a day is probably too much, and 24 hours is probably not enough, so somewhere in that range.
For the pain and suffering, when you're in pain, and there's no hope to come back, and there is the terror of drowning in your own phlegm, and there's no hope, why would we wait? Why would we prolong suffering?
In many cases, we don't. That's why we increase the morphine drip a bit. People starve themselves to death. People destroy themselves in violent ways because they don't want to be faced with the prospect of a horrible death, even though in most cases that's probably not what's going to happen.
