Thank you. My question is for Dr. Ferrier.
My colleague was talking about intolerable suffering. My mother suffered from dementia and was in fear when she was having to get surgery for her fractured hip. I just wanted her to not suffer and to end her misery. It was from my own position of making a judgment, and yet she bounced back so quickly, and at every stage I saw her real joie de vivre.
Could you speak from your experience regarding people living with dementia and suffering?
